I downloaded the deb file for unifi and am trying to install it on a Buster
AMD64 system.
How do I resolve the need for the ancient mongodb on my Athlon II based server?
apt install mongodb-server
...
Package mongodb-server is not available, but is referred to by another
package...
E: Package 'mongodb-server' has no installation candidate
Worst comes to worst, I have a not the greatest Rasberry Pi 3b that I could use
to
configure the access point... and power it down most of the time after things
are
set up.
