Install the docker with the LTS option.

Agree with everyone else here. Just read the forums, on unifis site. Honestly they seem to release updates that dont contain new features but to fix problems and in doing so break something else so basically when you have a setup working take care to do updates slowly and when they work make a note in case you need to roll back of that firmware number. Im 1 behind at the moment and quite happy with what I have.

You can always review the support page to see what issues people are having with a particular firmware. Here is the link. https://community.ui.com/releases

In this plugin how do I disable hardware TCP segmentation offload for unraid? Is this possible? As opposed to hardware checksum offload.

Most likely the fact you got updated to the 6 and its a total nightmare at the moment. As has been mentioned many times do not use v6 in production. if you do you must be ok being a beta tester with things falling over at any moment. Use 5.14.23-ls76 which is the version everyone who uses, never complains about. Hoopster posts about that version every page or so, but somehow people still miss that this is the version to use. No clue on downgrading, I dont think its possible but also never tried. P

Im afraid there is no official downgrade path.

I use Nomachine and it works well.

I mean put it this way. Everyone on the 5.14 version is happy and dont have issues. Everyone on older versions are missing features but may or may not be happy with that depending on their hardware. Most people who moved to 6 have issues. That is the current situation. Pick your poison. Until unifi code something better its not going to change. Likely this is the status for the next 6 months or so.

@sage2050 I guess try running the 5 version with tag linuxserver/unifi-controller:5.14.23-ls76 As it has been mentioned many times in this thread, it really is the best version available currently, and does everything and more than the current 6 release. There is no benefit, unless you are wanting to help unifi over on their forums find issues and fix them, to using anything else. For a business deploying the controller for a client, I cant imagine using the 6 release. Sounds like a nightmare. Pete

Is it possible to upgrade catalina to big sur without a complete reinstall?

The next version of 6 is up now also if you want to try that: https://community.ui.com/releases/UniFi-Network-Controller-6-0-41/25633411-0273-4197-bf30-4aff30b3701e

you can use kvm shared pages instead to save some memory if your system memory goes over 80%.

Wow give the man a break. It requires considerable testing. We will have to be patient and give it a month before champing at the bit at least.

Good work guys. 5.14.23-ls76 is the best version so good job getting there in the end.

As hoopster says try a 5.9 tag eg: unifi-controller:5.9 Once that works and seems ok then update again with the next tag: unifi-controller:5.14.23-ls76 Then you should be hopefully good on that version for a long while.

As hoopster says... the "best" version I have currently seen that has all feature-set and all feature-set working correctly is tag 5.14.23-ls76. His tag would be what I would recommend to use in most settings. An alternative is to turn off auto updating of docker apps in settings so it does not auto upgrade, but personally I use the tag method as it allows an update to a specific tagged version if there is a major security vulnerability found etc. while staying on the same version, but having that security update auto applied. This works quite well in most cases, and it also is coincidentally how Ubuntu snaps recommend maintaining a specific version (by use of tagging a snap version then that snap wont update past that version but would continue to receive updates to that version). Docker has a similar methodology. On this 6 version, I tested, it is clearly not fit for production yet. It is fine on a home network, which is what I use it on, and as badsoden mentioned 2 posts above, seems to work for him also, but there are known issues with it if you make use of multiple WANS/VLans and some other things I notice people complaining about on the unifi forums. I only use it with some wifi AP's at my home so a lot of these issues do not affect me (I dont own a USG or Dream Machine or any of that stuff), so I cant really comment on how severe they are. For basic wifi AP's it seems functional, but I dont see any compelling reason to upgrade, as nothing new was added, and some features dont work or are missing. The only reason I can see for upgrading at all is so that you can feel good that you are running the latest version. Some people feel this is very important. If you feel being on the latest version is super important then the best thing to do is upgrade and report any bugs you find on the unifi forums so that they can get ironed out by the next iteration that is released.

That is the latest version.

Quite a lot, check their forums, people are having to roll back because of vlanning etc. Actually too many to list here and I dont even know them all. I just noticed basic stuff on the AP's because you cant set some of the advances settings.

Just FYI, I have been stable on this for a little while now and the latest firmware on my AP's. Im not sure why anyone would upgrade though since 6.0.28 seems to be a downgrade, some features missing in this version, as opposed to the v5 before it. For this reason I cant see any compelling reason to upgrade to it, other than, you like running the latest version and feel like it. Seems pointless. I imagine the featureset will be added back in eventually. P

Yes obviously or the setting doesnt actually do anything.

I only put the IP in there, without http://

This has been asked several times on this thread. Did you read all the suggestions already posted? Have you for example set your override inform ip to the ip of the docker server on your controller settings?

6 is starting to look more stable so I have changed my tag to : linuxserver/unifi-controller:version-6.0.28 And updated my APs to the latest firmware available (4.3.21.11325). Will update how this goes in a couple weeks. I have noticed some options are missing in the new GUI so if your require every advanced feature possible, I would not yet update. The more general settings are there and most likely the advanced ones will make it in over the next few revisions. P

In this setup it can also be resolved by ensuring you have a local DNS server with the A record for unifi.exxx.xxx.com set to the internal address of the USG, while external DNS servers will continue to resolve that DNS address to the public IP of the USG. This is known as split DNS and can be used to resolve this kind of problem. The USG dns should be set to the internal locally controlled DNS server in this setup type. eg: internal DNS server could be pihole. in pihole add local dns record for controller - eg: 192.168.0.2 ensure dns on usg is set to pihole and it can see pihole server locally so it can resolve hostnames. internally unifi.exxx.xxx.com will return ip of what is set on pihole server for the controller (eg: 192.168.0.2 if unifi controller was .0.2 for example) external clients who use external or other DNS servers will continue to receive public IP for unifi.exxx.xxx.com address. Now both internal and external clients can see a different but correct result for this unifi.exxx.xxx.com address, result that is valid depending if on inside or outside of network. P

verify the gateway of the server that the docker is running on is set correctly I guess.
