[[support] pducharme's Dockers support thread]

I just installed this, and I followed Pducharme's instructions to setup the properties file and it worked just fine. I did it by ssh-ing into unraid and using:

 

cd /user/appdata/unifi-video

sudo touch system.properties

sudo nano system.properties

 

and added the required line.

 

However, i could not get cameras to reliably connect to the docker.

 

I ended up installing a Ubuntu VM and running it on that and it works perfectly. Perhaps a port forwarding issue?

 

This worked for me - thanks!

sorry, there is no data folder.  it's under appdata/unifi-video

 

just use any file editor (Notepad++ on PC or Smultron on Mac) and create a file called system.properties in this folder.  Just add the is_default=true to it and save it.

 

Restart the docker, you'll have the setup wizard.

 

I updated the UniFi to 4.8.15 yesterday.

I updated the UniFi-Video to 3.2.1 3-4 days ago.

 

I must be missing a step somewhere ... I have done exactly as you have described above, yet I never get the setup wizard. I have deleted the docker and started over from scratch, but the results are the same. What else can I try?

 

I would try :

 

1. Remove the docker + image from the Unraid Web UI Docker's page (Remove, and choose yes to remove also the image).

2. I will delete the /mnt/user/appdata/unifi-video  and /mnt/user/appdata/unifi-video-logs

3. I will add the docker, then i'll just start/stop it.

4. I will create the file "system.properties" with only 1 line, is_default=true

5. I will start the VM and check the web UI of UniFi-Video. 

 

Note:  Make sure the file you create is named "system.properties", with no other extension (i.e: system.propreties.txt)...

 

Did all of the above and it still just redirects to /login when I browse to the web UI. At this point I am out of ideas ... I may be able to try on a different unraid box. Is it not possible to make the docker already have the system.properties file as default? Just curious.
