Update

always backup your existing running settings first! stop container, pull new image, restart

docker stop unifi5
docker rm unifi5
docker pull tommi2day/unifi5
docker run .... #see section Run

i prefer to start the first run after update interactive to keep track of the update process and restart normally after sucessfully migration. If something goes wrong (usually within mongodb) you may try to remove the data/db and data/site directory, do a brand new installation and restore the backup file. It should be automatic migrated to the new version

Addons

All Addons are in /usr/lib/unifi ####internal start/stop script unifi.sh is a start/stop/status script. the start script calls finally a tail -f server.log to keep the container running ####Backup script There is a cronjob in place calling backup_unifi.sh , which will trigger a logrotate for mongodb and afterwards stop the Controler to tar the unifi data tree to /backups and restart finally. You can start it manually as well.

docker exec -ti unifi5 bash
./backup_unifi.sh
exit

To return to the console prompt press CTRL-C

####Restore script for restoring a backup call/exec restore_unifi.sh [filename]. filename will be expected in /backups. Without filename the last backup unifi_data.$(date '+%Y%m%d').tar.gz is assumed as default. Sample for the running container:

docker exec -ti unifi5 bash
./restore_unifi.sh /backups/unifi-backup.tar.gz
exit

This will stop and restart the unifi process. To return to the console prompt press CTRL-C
