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.

  • 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

You simply see the docker stop on unraid and when it is stopped, then you can start it again, and the restore completed.

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

Update went smoothly. No issues. Didn’t test the permissions for appdata configuration though since that was already setup manually.

 

Support link still directs to the project page though.

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

support link should be working if you follow above.

If this works for you then we will need to wait for more testers to check the deployment is easy enough to follow.

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.

Im confused by your comment. What is raspi4? Like raspberry pi? Unclear how to interpret your message.

Thank you for the feedback. Let me know regards github if desired. 

Raspi4 is Rasberry Pi 4.

I’m not a coder and wouldn’t be able to contribute in any productive way. Thanks though.

No worries just need more testers then to progress forward. 

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

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.

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 :)

Still meed more testers guys. Please consider testing this if you are able. 

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 by pncgeorge

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!

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!

@bmartino1It is not clear to me why you have ‘privilege = true’ in your setup. This is not default in the setup.
