The issue for him is that a UDM does not support the site export feature you used. 

Oh sure. This was not a response to anything, just a general interjection.

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.

Is there an advantage to using the site export? 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.

Some people have found a normal restore does not work for them.

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 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...

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this backup note the network application and version name you need to match that network version or restore to a newer version of the unifi network application.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

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...

Current unifi release is 8.2.93 ....

Development on this all in one docker is there but slow for this reason if you want to maintain your own. run a lxc. This is why I said earlier to run a lxc.
 


As then, you can downland and run the latest release and restore the same as this docker does... BUT THEN YOU NEED TO CHECK IT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE...

OR Recommened: wait until PeteAsking / 11 notes finishes, then restore and move the latest release.

Otherwise, you are recreating it in docker runnign the earlier release and starting fresh...
Hopefully you have an older version you can download and restore...

Development:
https://github.com/11notes/docker-unifi

In theory the next tag should be available soonish:
11notes/unifi:8.2.93
