November 7, 20232 yr Author I have an image that is now expected to work without changing the directory permissions, I have updated the XML but have to wait for community apps to refresh. I will check back in 4 hours and see if its refreshed and test it. Edited November 7, 20232 yr by PeteAsking

The docker never stopped as far as I could tell. I guess it’s possible that the docker restarted while I was watching the webUI and I didn’t notice. I had to manually restart the docker to gain access to the webUI after restoring.

May have to refresh the unraid docker page

Support link still directs to the project page though.
November 7, 20232 yr Author To start from scratch and check directory perms are working as intended: Make a backup in running docker Stop docker Use gui to remove docker and check "also remove image" SSH: rm -r unifi-controller-reborn/ rm /boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/my-unifi-controller-reborn.xml Everything is now clear, install as normal and use backup file. Follow instructions on page 1 (updated them). check directory perms using ls -l should be : drwxr-xr-x 1 nobody users P @wgstarks Edited November 7, 20232 yr by PeteAsking
November 7, 20232 yr Author If this works for you then we will need to wait for more testers to check the deployment is easy enough to follow.

Support link still directs to the project page though. I did make a one-timer throw from Raspi4 7.4 version to Unraid 7.5 without any problems in couple minutes. Everything is working fine except WebUI. I did make docker ip address same as Raspi4 had and there is no other apps running in Raspi4 anymore. When I moved Unifi from Ubuntu server to Raspi4, I noticed, that same ip address is most safe way to do it.
November 7, 20232 yr Author Im confused by your comment. What is raspi4? Like raspberry pi? Unclear how to interpret your message. Edited November 7, 20232 yr by PeteAsking

November 9, 20232 yr I'm not currently clear what this is for vs the other UniFi network/controller containers? What makes this different?

November 9, 20232 yr 12 hours ago, PeteAsking said: Its not being discontinued like the linuxserver.io one Oh really? That's interesting, is that coming from Ubiquiti that's discontinuing the controller for linux or is it linuxserver discontinuing theirs? I hadn't heard of this so now I'm extra curious, as I know quite a few users who are self-hosting their controllers, but myself am not.

Quote from the LSIO docker page Quote From 2024-01-01 this image will be deprecated and it will no longer be updated. Please migrate to our Unifi Network Application image instead If you search you’ll probably find a few discussions about the change but the basic reason LSIO is giving is that maintaining the Unifi Controller docker has been too much trouble. The complaint that I’m seeing most often regarding the new Unifi Network Application docker is that you also need to run a separate MongoDB docker. It’s not an all-in-one image. I did a little how-to post in the Controller support thread for switching to UNA. It’s really not very complicated to setup but it does add an extra point of failure.

Ah thank you, I was worried for a moment this was some change coming down from Ubiquiti, glad to see this project is being taken up to have an all-in-one container then. Keeps it simple for most. Thanks
November 11, 20232 yr Author Still meed more testers guys. Please consider testing this if you are able.
November 11, 20232 yr Install per directions without any issues. Restored from backup, waited 5 minutes and restarted, came up just like the old one. Looks good so far no issues and everything seems to be working. Great Job! Edited November 11, 20232 yr by pncgeorge
November 11, 20232 yr I installed it this afternoon and so far it works without problems. I had the same version 7.5.187 on unifi-controller which I restored from a 60 day backup. Great work!
November 11, 20232 yr Just got my first UniFi access points and installed your container. So, nothing to restore, but worked absolutely perfectly. Thank you very much for creating this easy-to-use container, it's much appreciated!
November 11, 20232 yr Author @bmartino1It is not clear to me why you have ‘privilege = true’ in your setup. This is not default in the setup.
