hello,

 

are there any known issues with wifi 7 pro APs? i have 3 new units and i can't seem to adopt any of them. unifi says adopting for a few minutes, then appears to fail, the AP goes offline for 15 seconds and tries to adopt again. over and over with every unit i tried. no error message is generated

 

i confirmed that the APs themselves work fine by installing the unifi software on a windows desktop, adopting them and running some tests. it's a new install. no settings or backups carried from another controller. all settings are default 

 

EDIT. turning on “Inform Host Override” solved this. never had to do that before, but that does appear to be the solution. thank you 


what unfi device?
what network application version are you running?

example:
https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/u7-pro
go to tech specs

note the min unifi applicaiton to adobt:
u7 pro says UniFi NetworkVersion 8.0.26 and later

if you just installed the app you are running v7.5.187
image.png.cc8d828c21bc63bb43a69541a076be81.png

you would need to be running a higher netwrok application version.

stop docker, edit. toggle advance and look for repository. per first post of this forum

chose one:

Stable: 11notes/unifi:8.3.32-unraid

Old Stable: 11notes/unifi:8.1.127-unraid

you need to be running atleast v8.0.26 ...

  • 8.0.28 has failed testing and will not be promoted to an unraid tag and will be skipped.

    8.3.32-unraid tag is tested and available for home users in production.

  • Yeah not sure what is happening with Linuxserver.io or their images. I switched to binhex for everything.   As he didnt have a unifi docker I had to make one with 11notes. 11notes has docker

@wgstarks I believe a better way to handle this certificate issue is to use a reverse proxy. I know there are docker reverse proxys on unraid.  Im not 100% clear how you do this but traffic would work like request —-> reverse proxy on https —-> forwarded by reverse proxy to unraid. Cert would be handled by reverse proxy. 

That is exactly how I have mine set up. SWAG provides the reverse proxy to the UI, other required ports are forwarded through the firewall. I manage multiple WAN locations with this image. The set inform override is my FQDN.

8.5.6-unraid was just released a few hours ago.

https://hub.docker.com/r/11notes/unifi/tags
 

Yep, I have been running since just after it released this morning. I had a few devices disconnect and then reconnect a few minute later not long after updating but since then everything has been fine

  • Author

The new tags for general use are available today:

 

Current recommended Home User tag: 11notes/unifi:8.5.6-unraid

"stable"

 

Current Company/Corporate recommended tag: 11notes/unifi:8.1.127-unraid

"Old Stable"

 

Current Critical Infrastructure (no downtime) tag: 11notes/unifi:7.5.187-unraid

"Old Old Stable"

 

Please note: a CVE exists for Old Stable and Old Old Stable. Your docker should be run in its own vlan, not accessible by general network computers, and only accessible by a trusted machine for this reason via firewall rules or some such.

 

We are working to find a version over the coming months that will address this issue but at this time no version is determined stable or safe enough for business or critical use other than what is listed. In addition the two older versions do not support the latest unifi equipment (ie cannot adopt them) as the newer equipment requires a slightly higher version. This is being rolled up to be addressed in the same issue and we will find a version capable of achieving both these goals.

I have not touched my unifi controller docker in over a year and not paid attention since there was still debate on whether to use the two docker solution or one docker almost exactly a year ago.  It is good to see that there is a stable single docker solution.

 

I am currently running the old linuxserver non-reborn unifi controller docker with version 7.2.95 which was the recommended old old  stable version in the past. Given that you are supposed to be on the same Unifi version when switching to reborn, what should  I do? 

  1. Do I upgrade the old linuxserver Unifi controller docker to version 7.5.187 by changing the repository parameter to linuxserver/unifi-controller:version-7.5.187.  Then follow the instructions in the first post?
  2. Or do I install the reborn docker and use 11notes/unifi:7.2.95-unraid as the version?  Or does that version even exist in that repository?
  3. Or something else?

step 1 make a backup of the current unifi docker:

as explained in this post:
*Recommend last 30 days

With a backup file in hand stop the older docker.

step 2 install this docker from the community app store
image.png.b8ad35a34f0de6df926c89f1551a57dd.png

step 3
confirm the repo you want to be on by default the default template will give you
image.png.6ad03e05ed5c288020704769b709d204.png
it is best to restore to this template version first.

step 3 at unifi web server launch, restore the backup file:
when all is good in the app. stop the docker.

then edit the reborn docker and upgrade the network application by Change the repo to a stable tag.
ATM: 11notes/unifi:8.5.6-unraid

alternatively, you could in theory restore into tag 11notes/unifi:8.5.6-unraid at step 2 and skip step 3.

Thanks for  your response, But this doesn't address the issue of restoring your backup from the same version.  My backup will be version 7.2.95 and from what you show in step 3 I will be restoring to a system running 7.5.187.  Isn't that a no-no?  @PeteAsking says in post 1 of this thread "Make sure old version of unifi controller is the same version you will be migrating to. Unifi is difficult if the versions are different. "

 

Can I ignore that?  Or should I upgrade my old docker to 7.5.187 first, assuming that is even possible anymore?

You are correct it is better to use the same version, however that version was never created so the only option is, take a backup of this version. When installing the reborn container use tag 7.5.187-unraid and then perform a restore. Monitor and check that everything is working.

 

7.5.187-unraid was the first tag created, so the version you are using never existed for this docker. Unclear why you never moved from that tag, perhaps you can explain as the old unifi controller did have newer tags than that.

 

I would not change anything on the working container at this time and would first try a restore as it may well work despite the versions not being identical.

Edited by PeteAsking

I never moved from 7.2.95 as there wasn't a compelling reason and last September you said (in the Unifi Controller thread) that 7.2.95 tags are fine for now.  Once we got into last October we got into the linuxserver Unifi controller being deprecated issue and I didn't think it was worth changing anything until that settled down and then I hadn't paid any attention to upgrading to the new docker until now.

 

If I went into the old Unifi Controller and changed the tag to 7.5.187, would that upgrade my old docker to 7.5.187, or is that repository of controller versions no longer existing?

  • Author

Not sure but why change the old docker if you dont have to? Just try restore the backup to the new one. It may well work and not require potentially breaking your current setup. You can just turn it off and leave it alone. 

Edited by PeteAsking

Will do.  Would you happen to know the minimum controller version for the UXG-Max or UXG-Lite.  I still have a USG but will be upgrading it soon to one of these so I think I need to be on a newer version for that as well.

Looks like 8.1.113

Thanks, is there an issue with upgrading too many versions at once.  If I go to 7.5.187 can I then jump up to the stable tag of 8.5.6 or should I stop at 8.1.127 first?

Hard to say. What I do is stop the docker and make a copy of the docker folder then start it with the new tag and hope it upgrades all the way. If not you can just delete it and copy back the backed up folder and try less of a jump. Unifi dont really document this anywhere so its kind of a trial and error thing unfortunately. Sometimes you have to do an interum jump and other times you dont. 

Thanks for the feedback folks, and thanks for making this docker!

So I am thinking about replacing my USG - it looks like the best device to replace it with is a UCG-Ultra.  But that device has the Unifi network application builtin.

 

But this appears better than a UXG-Lite and is cheaper than a UXG-Max despite having similar specs.

 

Is there any downside to switching to this device and now using that as my controller, rather than self-hosting the Unifi controller on a docker on Unraid?

  • Author

No you can use that instead of you prefer to, that is totally a valid option.

Unless I am missing something here the UXG-Lite and UXG-Max make no sense.  Unless you really want 2.5Gb LAN ports.

 

But the UXG-Lite is slightly more expensive than the UCG-Ultra and is inferior in every way.

  • Author

No clue. I use opnsense as I believe it to be a superior product and enterprise ready. I cant imagine using a unifi firewall in a company setting. Sounds ridiculous to me. 

Look at their tech sheets / Technical Specifications.... it has more with how many devices it can support, what software can run on it... and what hardware and software limitation in the system for advance features like IDPS /geo-blocking...

For them all 

Example 
https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/uxg-lite
I have a few network sites. We have the UX-Lite at a location. Tied to cable internet mediacom. Example This ux-lite 
image.thumb.png.6fd322065b1c39544f31ad25d5be5474.png
As you can see unfi os can only run network. Per tech sheet can only do so much...

Another example... Such as the UDR Dream Router, it has 1 wifi built in i can POE power 2 cams use a micro sd card for unifi protect... https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-unifi-cloud-gateways/products/udr

SO
UX/USG run network only USG has better hardware and software for some other advance network features.
The USG needs a network controller...(this docker) to operate with theses extra features...

The UDM-Pro is my go too... I has the full cloud key system for unifi OS and of unifi software OS support...
I prefer the se edition for POE device such as cameras...

Its all in the tech specs...

Has anyone had any issues with 8.6.9-unraid? This has tested well and has few issues in the forums. This might be what we move the corporate versions to if nobody has issues. 

in my (simple homeserver) environment the APs were shown offline in the controller, after set-inform everything worked again smoothly.

I have been running 8.6.9 for 24 hours so far and no issues to report
