June 10, 20242 yr From UniFi : "It's important to understand that login credentials are not restored during a backup migration. These credentials are specific to the device where they were created." So I did a fresh install -> created local credentials -> Logged in -> Then restored, and still the creds don't work. Is there something unique about the restore process for the docker you built? or unique about the database? All the other dockers have separate databases so I am wondering if that is causing something.

Can anyone else confirm this?

June 11, 20242 yr Author That guy seemed to have the same issue going from UDM ---> docker but I dont understand how he resolved it. It also seems like the UDM cannot be controlled or adopted so even if you can migrate the UDM must be abandoned for another firewall at that point. Unclear if @Dynamiteboy is happy to throw away the firewall or not/is aware. Edited June 11, 20242 yr by PeteAsking
June 11, 20242 yr A bit late to the party, but I found the process of migrating from old Unifi-Controller to this a little obtuse with a few speed bumps along the way. I documented my process for my future self, but it may help others. https://mediaserver8.blogspot.com/2024/06/migrating-deprecated-unifi-docker-on.html

I just did a database backup and restore to migrate and it went off without a hitch, but I do this kind of thing for work a lot too so I'm curious what the difference is.

June 15, 20242 yr The problem is the udm is running unfi OS. You want to make sure your getting a backup of the network application only. Site export is a more inclusive backup maintaining other data. for My backups> https://192.168.2.4:8443/manage/default/settings/system Unfi login > Gear bottom left(Settings) > bottom of left list (System) > tabs at top (Backup): For option Backup (configuration File) Download: This opens the backup options: You should choose 30 days to help grab DB data. This File backed up from the UDM-Pro will restore to the UNIFI network application on docker...
June 15, 20242 yr When restoring this backup note the network application and version name you need to match that network version or restore to a newer version of the unifi network application. As you can see I have earlier backups I can download and restore from...: if i download it now I will get a backup for version The version should also cary in the name of the file. it is recommend to keep unifi name scheme... Note the version in the file name: So I would need to run unifi network application version 8.2.93 or newer to use the restore function in this docker with out issue. When runnign this docker see the first post and grab the corect network applicaiotn as a tag # for your docker... ATM the default template still pulls the older version for users who have not switch to keep stability. Wath your docekr tags per first post as of writing: ADVANCED/EXPERIENCED USERS QUICK INFO: Choose your own adventure tag: https://hub.docker.com/r/11notes/unifi/tags Current recommended Home User tag: 11notes/unifi:8.1.127-unraid Current Company/Corporate recommended tag: 11notes/unifi:8.1.127-unraid Current Critical Infrastructure (no downtime) tag: 11notes/unifi:7.5.187-unraid NORMAL USERS START HERE: The important information at a glance section: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Development status of community app: Canary: 31/10/2023 - 04/11/2023 [COMPLETE] Alpha: 04/11/2023 - 23/11/2023 [COMPLETE] Beta: 23/11/2023 - 08/01/2024 [COMPLETE] Delta: 08/01/2024 - Stable: n/a so the repository need to become: 11notes/unifi:8.1.127-unraid As I said earlier the docker is 1 release behind for testing before release and your restore file need to be at or newer to restore...

June 26, 20242 yr Hi, Unifi Reborn is not adopting any devices even though official Unifi app is able to. I tried deleting the appdata folder and reinstalling but still the same issue. I'm not clear on this instruction... Quote Your networking should be the same if coming from an old controller or devices wont re adopt eg: ”I had my networking on the old container set to br0 and a fixed IP - it wouldn't adopt in the new world until I made that match A few months ago I did have Unifi Reborn working correctly but I believe it was on a custom network. I am now trying bridge. Does it need to be custom network? Even if I delete the app data folder? Edited June 26, 20242 yr by andyd

June 30, 20242 yr I just installed the unifi-controller-reborn docker after struggling with the unifi-network-application and mongodb stuff for a while. Was able to update from a back-up that included all history from the old unifi controller app docker. I followed advice to install the exact same version from which I was importing my back-up (e.g., use the "11notes/unifi:8.0.24-unraid" tag). Wish I had found this thread from the beginning. It went pretty smooth. All my devices seemed to adopt fine except one (a flex-mini switch)... it is struggling a bit. Note that I have unifi switches and WIfi access points, but do not have a Unifi router. I run Arista Untangle on my own hardware (old desktop computer, not virtualized or piggybacked on my Unraid box). Will soon migrate to OPNSense since Untangle deprecated their Home-Pro version. Just two or three quick questions: 1) how is this "reborn" version dealing with the MongoDB requirement? A separate MongoDB docker didn't appear running alongside. Is it running a "compliant" version of the unifi controller that is somehow running the Mongo DB in the background? 2) How do I upgrade to the latest version of the unifi controller software? Do I now just go in to the docker parameters and update it to a new tag such as: "11notes/unifi:8.1.127-unraid" or "11notes/unifi:8.2.93-unraid" depending on whether I want that latest/newest, or the previous stable version? 3) Will the "reborn" docker app indicate when new unifi controller versions are available? Or will I need to just periodically do what I outlined in #2 above after checking to see what the latest version # is? Thanks for the help!!!
June 30, 20242 yr May have answered my own questions. Regarding whether it is somehow running MongoDB in the background, I found the following out on 11note's github: "This image will provide you a rock solid1 Unifi controller with included MongoDB (no separate image needed, since its EOL (end of life) anyway)." https://github.com/11notes/docker-unifi I did go into the Docker config and change the version to: 11notes/unifi:8.2.93-unraid and it did update to that version.

Good job. I do want to clarify this: “Is it running a "compliant" version of the unifi controller” No it is not running a sanctioned or compliant version of unifis expected deployment. This is an unsanctioned and unofficial option. Their deployment expects the more complex setup (.deb and native db). This was created as I personally (and some others) do not believe their suggested setup is better/more reliable and believe this is simpler and more reliable and conforms to the industry standard KISS rule. However you certainly do not need to agree and should be aware this setup is not what unifi (linuxserver?) suggest. Also note this container was created to solve an imposed problem that nobody wanted or expected when the (official?) container was suddenly deprecated. Had this never happened this container wouldnt exist. So in some ways this setup has come about by necessity and not to compete or be better than anything else. Personally I needed a solution that resolved a problem for me and its being shared here for others because it affected more people than just me, but I do want to be upfront about what you are getting. Its a creation from a bunch of unaffiliated hobbyists who are all in this together. Edited June 30, 20242 yr by PeteAsking

These are known to have a few issues with adoption and there is a new EA FW for them that improves adoption resiliency. Reports on the EA thread are good so far so hopefully wont be too long until official release
