    [Support] Linuxserver.io - Unifi-Controller

    in Docker Containers

    Posted

    Sorry to be confusing.

     

    The APs that were EOL'ed 7 days ago that I own are plain UAPs.  The EOL announcment was made a year ago but it just took effect 8 days ago - and that is assuming that it wasn't delayed.  According to the year old EOL announcement, you will not be able to configure the obsolete hardware on Controller versions released after March 1, 2021.  So I am assuming that any versions released prior to March 1, 2021, or eight days ago, should not be an issue.

     

    So unless I am interpreting this incorrectly, any software version released more than 8 days ago should support my UAPs.  Looking at the release notes pages of the Unifi Community that would seem to take you up to controller version 6.0.45 - the release notes were posted "a month ago" in the Unifi Community.  Therefore which software version released up to and including 6.0.45 would be the most stable? 

     

    So as long as 6.0.45 is not stable, and never will be, then I guess I will stay on 5.14 until I upgrade my UAPs and I hear that there is a more stable controller version.

    Thanks folks.  Anyone know the last version that is supposed to work with the older hardware?

     

    FYI - I am referring to this announcement which says:

    These UniFi AP models will continue to be supported by network controllers that have not upgraded to versions released past the obsoletion date (March 1, 2021). These AP models will still remain visible in controllers that are upgraded beyond the obsoletion date, but they will no longer be configurable.

    We are now past that date so presumably this means that any version that is released from this day forward will not support the old APs.
     

    I have 3 or 4 of the older UAPs that I will eventually replace, but I don't want to spend the cash right away.

    Thanks Jonathan.  I am back up now.  There has been a lot of discussion on the stability of various versions.  any quick recommendation as to which is the most stable version.  I have some older UAPs which have just become unsupported.  I will want to pick a version and stick with it for a while as I believe that I won't be able to upgrade my controller and continuing using those UAPs.

    I tried to update my docker and I appear to have broken my Unifi docker and I need some help getting back.

     

    I am not sure what version I was running but when I look in my appdate folder autobackups they are named like this:  
    autobackup_5.12.35_20210301_0000_1614556801716.unf

     

    When I look at the docker install it shows:

    latest - The most recent build version of the Controller software, regardless of release train.
    LTS - The most recent Long Term Support release.
    5.9 - The most recent 5.9.x release.
    5.8 - The most recent 5.8.x release.
    5.7 - The most recent 5.7.x release.

     

    If I try to install 5.9 and go to the web UI I get a dialog to install the backup I get a message that I can't install this backup as it is from a newer version.  Can I install version 5.12?  If not then what version can I install that are after 5.12 but are stable?  And can I manually specify the version in the repository name, as in linuxserver/unifi-controller:5.12 ? But when I do that it says command failed.  

     

    How do I get back and what version do I move to? And how do I specify the version that I want as 5.9 works, but 5.12 does not.

    Very true, FireWire is somewhat obsolete.  But it is still the most dependable way to tune channels on cable boxes that support that functionality. So it is commonly used for DVR software, like SageTV.  Running SageTV in a docker under unRAID is a great solution. But this software is also fading away as linear TV becomes less popular and DVR solutions from cable companies, etc improve as does the amount of content available on-demand. I think I was the one who asked for FireWire support in DVB several years ago.

    Thanks.  I have neglected my unRAID system in recent years as I am only running 6.4.1 with the DVB edition and I use Firewire as it is often the best option for changing channels if it is supported by your cable box. But now I am scared to do an upgrade as I don't want to break things and it is working fine, except for the odd system crash.

    Does anyone know if this plugin works for the Hauppauge HD-PVR.  I have been using unRAID with the old DVB edition for years. This allowed me to use HD-PVR encoders with the SageTV docker in unRAID. It also added firewire support for channel changes.  Anyone know if this still works in the new plugin?

    You read that a particular member of the ls.io team has decided to no longer build docker containers for unRAID.  His previous containers have been removed and are no longer supported.

     

    You did not read that ls.io in general is no longer supporting unRAID.

    Ok, thanks. I did read too much into that then.  My mistake.

    Maybe I read too much into this, but that occured last November when unRAID incorporated Nvidia drivers into the core OS. Here is a quote from CHBMB: (in this thread: https://forums.unraid.net/bug-reports/prereleases/unraid-os-version-690-beta35-available-r1125/?tab=comments#comment-11340&searchlight=1)

    I am very officially retiring from any form of Unraid development.

    You'll be pleased to know I will no longer be producing any custom "unofficial" builds for all the things you've not wanted to pick up and support for the last 10 years.  A bit like unassigned devices and @dlandon, hell that should have been incorporated half a decade ago.  In fact, I won't be doing anything here from this point on.  

     

    Nearly 5 years of DVB and nearly 2 years of Nvidia.  You're welcome to them.

     

    DVB is all yours now as well.

     

    Good Luck.

    Another thing to keep in mind is that in 45 days Unifi is going to EOL a bunch of their older hardware.  You can continue to use the old hardware but you can't upgrade your controller version.  So people may want to be cognizant of that and purposely stay on older versions of the controller.

    What This Means:

    The following UniFi Access Point (AP) models will no longer receive new system releases, critical bug fixes, or security updates after March 1, 2021:

    UAP-Outdoor

    UAP-Outdoor+

    UAP-Pro

    UAP-IW

    UAP (v1+v2)

    UAP-LR (v1+v2)

    UAP-AC-EDU

    UAP-AC-IW-PRO

    These UniFi AP models will continue to be supported by network controllers that have not upgraded to versions released past the obsoletion date (March 1, 2021). These AP models will still remain visible in controllers that are upgraded beyond the obsoletion date, but they will no longer be configurable.

    I used to use the Let's Enccrypt docker but I am having trouble with swag.  I have forwarded router ports 443 and 80 to my unraid server port 5443 and 5080.  I am using dyndns and my url is wayner.dyndns.org.  This resolves properly to my WAN IP address.

     

    In the docker config I have a domain of dyndns.org and a subdomain of wayner. I have only subdomains set to true Validation is set to http

     

    But when I start the docker I get a challenge failed for wayner.dyndns.org.

     

      

    To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
contain(s) the right IP address.
ERROR: Cert does not exist! Please see the validation error above. The issue may be due to incorrect dns or port forwarding settings. Please fix your settings and recreate the container

    What am I doing wrong? Do I have to manually create a certificate? I have other ports that are forwarded and they work.

    If you make this change then won't you permanently stay on that version until you change the repository field info?  But I guess maybe that is ok for now.

     

    There may be folks wanting to stay on Controller versions for a while as a lot of hardware will become deprecated in March 2021, like my four UAPs, unless you stick to old controller versions.  I appear to be on 5.12.35 which appears to be about a year old.

    Need help to install Android VM on unRAID

    in VM Engine (KVM)

    Posted

    I want to install and Android version as a VM on my unRAID server so that I can install the Android app for Control4 to have a way to control my Home Automation system on my PC. Note that first I tried the Android 8.0 docker container but it was so unresponsive as to be useless.

     

    There appear to be a few options, like AndroidX86, PrimeOS and there may be others as well.

     

    There is a thread on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/axctkh/how_to_run_android_x86_in_vm/ 

     

    But that thread is over a year old and it has some instructions that I don't understand, namely:  

    Quote

    Either way open a terminal and run these 2 commands. Adjusting the directory accordingly.

    qemu-img convert -f vmdk /mnt/user/domains/Android/Android-x86_8.1.vmdk -O qcow2 /mnt/user/domains/Android/Android-x86_8.1.qcow2

    sudo qemu-img resize /mnt/user/domains/Android/Android-x86_8.1.qcow2 +20G

    Anyone have any advice on which OS to use and step by step instructions?

    On windows, install a SSH client, like "putty".

    This is a bit orthogonal to the discussion, but Windows has had native support for ssh for over 2.5 years.  https://www.howtogeek.com/336775/how-to-enable-and-use-windows-10s-built-in-ssh-commands/. So you can just run ssh from a command prompt, assuming that it is installed. No more need for putty.

     

    And you can install Windows Subsystem for Linux and have pretty much a fully functional distribution of Ubuntu as an application in Windows.  Very useful!  Install it from the Windows Store: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/ubuntu/9nblggh4msv6?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

    I can't say that I have this issue, and I have a USG as well, but I ALWAYS have my networking equipment connected to a UPS.  The USG only draws a few watts so a decent sized UPS would power it for days, even if you also plug in a modem, switch, etc.  If you have a POE switch powering your WAPs then your wifi will even stay up when your house power is off.

     

    You might want to post in the Unifi forums as this issue isn't really an unRAID docker issue.
