If you’re planning to run MongoDB 5.0 on your Raspberry Pi 4, you might run into an issue where the main process exits with a «code=killed, status=4/ILL» error. The error message suggests that the CPU microarchitecture of Raspberry Pi 4 is not compatible with MongoDB 5.0 binary packages, which you can verify on the MongoDB website and forum.
Unfortunately, this means that the last supported version of MongoDB on Raspberry Pi 4 is 4.4.18.
I personally encountered this issue and decided to document my experience in this blog post, hoping that it might save some of you time and frustration.
As an alternative, you could try building MongoDB from source and see if that works, but keep in mind that it can be a complicated and time-consuming process.
** Last mongodb working version for RPI4 is 4.4.18 **
raspian version (ubuntu 20.04 works also)

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu focal/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list
2dn install version 4.4.18 and hold (don’t ever update to version 4.4.19 )
sudo apt-get install mongodb-org-mongos=4.4.18 mongodb-org-tools=4.4.18 mongodb-org-shell=4.4.18 mongodb-org-database-tools-extra=4.4.18 mongodb-org=4.4.18 mongodb-org-server=4.4.18
