I've just installed a new server on ubuntu 22.04 server and I installed mongo db 6 and parse server and restored one of mongo db 5 databases. And it looks like working but not tested too much.

What are the known problems with mongo db 6 and parse server?

We don't know. Do you want to open a PR to add support? It's pretty easy to add a job to the CI for MongoDB 6, to at least see whether all tests pass. You can take a look at previous PRs, it's just some lines of code.

What should I test? Are there any test scripts that I can run without damaging my system. Because it will be production system in a few days, if I don't find any problems.

The CI will test for you, all you need to to is add some lines to tell the CI to run our existing tests against MongoDB 6. You can take a look at these PRs for how to do that:

• https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/pull/7894/files
• https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server/pull/7469/files

I hope I did it right:

@cool2apps I've opened #8242 for MongoDB 6 support; you can see the CI test results there to maybe get a sense for whether there are any concerns for your server upgrade, in case you need to upgrade before Parse Server officially supports it (which I wouldn't recommend of course).
