lsioarmhf/unifi-aarch64

The UniFi® Controller software is a powerful, enterprise wireless software engine ideal for high-density client deployments requiring low latency and high uptime performance. Unifi⁠

Usage

docker create \
  --name=unifi \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  -e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid>  \
  -p 3478:3478/udp \
  -p 10001:10001/udp \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -p 8081:8081 \
  -p 8443:8443 \
  -p 8843:8843 \
  -p 8880:8880 \
  -p 6789:6789 \
  lsioarmhf/unifi-aarch64

You can choose between ,using tags, latest (default lts 5.6 release branch, and no tag required) or the unstable (5.7) release branch of unifi.

Add one of the tags, if required, to the linuxserver/unifi line of the run/create command in the following format, linuxserver/unifi:unstable

Tags

• unstable : releases from the 5.9x branch.

Parameters

The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

• -p 3478 - port(s)
• -p 10001 - port(s) required for AP Discovery
• -p 8080 - port(s) required for Unifi to function
• -p 8081 - port(s)
• -p 8443 - port(s)
• -p 8843 - port(s)
• -p 8880 - port(s)
• -p 6789 - port(s) For throughput test
• -v /config - where unifi stores it config files etc, needs 3gb free
• -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation

It is based on xenial with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it unifi /bin/bash.

User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ^TM.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id dockeruser
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

Setting up the application

IMPORTANT... THIS IS THE ARM64 VERSION

The keygen operation on the first run of the container can take a long time, be patient

The webui is at https://ip:8443⁠ , setup with the first run wizard.

To adopt a Unifi Access Point, and get it to show up in the software, take these steps:

ssh ubnt@$AP-IP
mca-cli
set-inform http://$address:8080/inform 

Use ubnt as the password to login and $address is the IP address of the host you are running this container on and $AP-IP is the Access Point IP address.

Info

• Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it unifi /bin/bash

• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f unifi

• container version number

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' unifi

• image version number

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lsioarmhf/unifi-aarch64
