Step by Step To Upgrade To Latest Release

[JCandle]

Would you be able to give a step by step on how to update a controller within your docker image? I followed some information you gave on the ubiquiti forums to do a docker-compose down -v and that allowed me to rebuild and pull the latest image but it also required me to upload my config file. Is there anyway to avoid that step and just update the controller without starting fresh?

Thank you.

@JCandle I'll add some docs today.

In the meantime, there are docs buried here: https://github.com/ryansch/docker-unifi-rpi/wiki/Getting-Started-on-a-Raspberry-Pi#unifi-image-upgrade

Hi, are there any updates on this? New-ish user looking to update to 6.036.

I tried the steps listed above from 2018, but there's no systemctl service called unifi on mine (pi4 running unifi inside docker container)
Thank you for building and sharing this!

pi@raspberrypi:~/unifi $ sudo systemctl -l | grep unifi
pi@raspberrypi:~/unifi $

@rqbanerjee How do you have the container set up? Are you using docker-compose?

At a high level, you need to pull the new container image and then start a fresh unifi container from it. This usually looks something like:

cd /opt/unifi
docker-compose pull
docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d

This is assuming that you're using something similar to my compose setup where all of the controller data is stored within docker volumes.

Yes, I am using the docker-compose file provided here. This does not work, and I am still stuck on 6.0.32 (12/22/2020).
Output from those commands:
Pulling unifi ... done Stopping unifi ... done Removing unifi ... done Creating unifi ... done
