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 ####Systemd service definition unifi.service is a sample systemd start script for the already created container.

sudo cp unifi.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable unifi.service
sudo systemctl start unifi.service
