Is there any reason why you have deleted your support thread?

Techineclay wasn't deleted [it was hidden] (only a mod/admin has access to the thread). templates and others were removed. Mods were informed.
https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/run-docker-containers/community-applications/

The template was removed and marked for CA removal.
info was also updated in GitHub as well see signature.
https://github.com/bmartino1/unraid-docker-templates#-removing-from-ca

Mainly

Due to issues with community standards and users. issues from unifi and other continued support. Unifi doesn't want there os system containerized...

UniFi is moving away from traditional, user-managed containerized applications (like Docker) toward UniFi OS Server, a containerized environment based on Podman and systemd. While still containerized, this new approach acts as a "closed" system, removing user control over container networking (e.g., changing ports) to ensure stability, easier updates, and better integration with UniFi’s ecosystem.

even the os installer is now a specilaed script for VM use.

Im not aware of deleting anything. Maybe the post above explains something.

I cannot understand the decision to hide/delete it. Still, there is the github project which tries to adopt the unifi server os in docker/kubernetes. Why this should not be allowed?

Unifi no longer support docker, please move to their server version on a VM instead.

Is it safe to assume that you will no longer be maintaining this docker container?

Also, I'm curious, has anyone that spun up a VM of the UniFi OS care to share their experience with it?

Works great for me. But then again, I'm only using it for my access points and my switch, so I can't comment on other functionality. It was easy to install, just followed @PeteAsking directions earlier in the thread.

I was looking to see if someone provided instruction, but didn't see it. Care to point me in the right direction?

You need to install Debian first, of course.

Thank you. Not sure how I missed that discussion back in early March. I follow this thread pretty religiously. But alas, i did. Thank you for getting me there.

No problem :)

I ended up putting it on another Ubuntu headless server that wasn't doing much of anything. All went well. You have to make sure to update the UniFi Network application before restoring from backup. Otherwise the backup file will be incompatible.

Yes. Unifi are sending cease and desist anyway now so its not tenable to continue in any way.

Sorry to hear. And thank you for all your hard work and efforts while it lasted.

I've been running 9.5.21 (thank you PeteAsking!), I spun up a new VM with debian and deployed the OS server, but I can't get the backup to take in the new Unifi OS. Network application is newest version (10. somethign) and the backups (multiple, some settings only, some with 30, 60 and 90 days retention) as well as site exports. Nothing seems to stick. Any advice?

Do you get some sort of error when you import the backup?

I wish! Nothing, spins around for a bit, then goes back to the 'drop your backup file here or browse' screen.

Try in the edge browser on a windows machine.

That is definitely worth a try. For protect in Chrome numerous things don't work and need to use Edge to do.

Thanks PeteAsking and fat, I tried in edge as well as a different machine. I think the install was just bad (I must have screwed something up). I rebuilt the vm with ubuntu 26.04 server and ran the scripts, and the backup restored without any problems.

I'm still on the older 11notes/unifi:9.5.21-unraid docker version. Will a backup from this version work with the new Unifi OS Server in a VM? I'm so nervous about messing with the Unifi Controller after nightmares of losing access to all my APs in the past.

Yes it will
