Invalid DB Type Error when run docker-compse in ubuntu

[stanislous]

Question
I tried to run wikijs and MongoDB services using docker-compose on ubuntu 18.04. I set up config.yml file

//Port the server should listen to
port: 80

db:
type: mongodb

// PostgreSQL / MySQL / MariaDB / MS SQL Server only:
host: localhost
port: 5432
user: wikijs
pass: wikijsrocks
db: wiki
ssl: false

Then I configured docker-compose.yml file with wikijs and MongoDB services.

version: '3'
services:
wikidb:
image: mongo:3
expose:
- '27017'
command: '--smallfiles --bind_ip ::,0.0.0.0'
environment:
- 'MONGO_LOG_DIR=/dev/null'
volumes:
- $HOME/volumes/mongo/db:/data/db
wikijs:
image: 'requarks/wiki:latest'
links:
- wikidb
depends_on:
- wikidb
ports:
- '80:80'
environment:
WIKI_ADMIN_EMAIL: [email protected]
volumes:
- $HOME/volumes/wiki/config.yml:/var/wiki/config.yml

I changed the database parameter in the config using these commands

SEARCH="mongodb://localhost:27017/wiki"
REPLACE="mongodb://wikidb:27017/wiki"
FILEPATH="$HOME/volumes/wiki/config.yml"
sed -i "s;$SEARCH;$REPLACE;" $FILEPATH

Finally i run the docker-compose up on the terminal.
It pulled both mongoDB and wikijs containers successfully but finally showed this error.

wikijs_1 | Loading configuration from /wiki/config.yml... OK

wikijs_1 | 2020-04-08T05:29:44.663Z [MASTER] error: Invalid DB Type
wiki_wikijs_1 exited with code 1

There is no spacing issues in both .yml files. Also I disabled git. Can someone help me to figure this out?

Host Info (please complete the following information):
OS: [e.g. Ubuntu 18.04, Docker]
Wiki.js version: [e.g. 2.2]
Database engine: [e.g. mongodb:3 ]

MongoDB is not supported on Wiki.js 2.x

[stanislous]

@Smankusors what versions support MongoDB?

I changed the version of the wikijs from 2.2 to 1.0. Then it shows this error.

I think config.yml is available and it's path is correct.

@NGPixel any way to fix this?

Read the docs

You can't just replace the version number and expect it to work.

I set db connection string to: mongodb://wikidb:27017/wiki. WikiJs port is:- '8080:3000' and config.yml port set to 8080. And didn't change any other settings. But i'm getting the same error.
