Unifi Video 3.8.0 and + requires a new port, 7442. Cameras that update their firmware will not be able to connect until -p 7442:7442 is added to the run command.
This docker image runs the unifi-video controller on Ubuntu. Originally intended for Unraid 6.x, it should run fine anywhere.
Set your local data, videos and logs directories in the docker run command. You can also specify a custom user and group for the daemon to run as.
The first run should create the file system.properties in your data directory. If it doesn't, create it yourself. You must add is_default=true as the first line in order to force the wizard to run.
Restart the docker, visit http://localhost:7080 or http://<ip.address>:7080/ to start the Unifi Video wizard.
