UniFi Controller Container

A set of scripts to orchestrate a rootless UniFi Controller container. This design uses stock container images (java:8 and mongo:3), and launches them in a pod for shared network resources.

Required Packages

• Binutils (for ar)
• Podman
• cURL

Supported Platforms

These scripts should work on any OS that has Podman. It has been tested on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Ubuntu 20.04 (64-bit) and Fedora 32.

Usage

To download, create, and start everything:

bash download && bash create && bash start

Then to only start the existing Controller:

bash start

Update

git pull && ./download

Scripts

download

Download the unifi_sysvinit_all.deb from Ubiquiti's site, extract it, and organize it for the Java container.

create

Create the pod, Java, and MongoDB containers. The pod itself is not started at this point, till the start script is executed.

start

Start the pod, thus bringing up the Java and MonogoDB containers.

stop

Sends a signal to the pod, gracefully closing each container within.
