Running Unifi Network in Docker using Docker Compose

compose.yaml

version: '3'
services:
  unifi-controller:
    container_name: unifi-controller
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/unifi-controller:latest
    network_mode: host
    volumes:
      - /opt/unifi-network/config:/config
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Amsterdam
      - MEM_LIMIT=2048
      - MEM_STARTUP=2048
    restart: unless-stopped

update.sh

#!/bin/bash

cd "$(dirname "$0")";

echo 'Pulling images...';
sudo docker compose pull;

echo -e '\nStopping and removing containers...';
sudo docker compose down;

echo -e '\nCreating and starting containers...';
sudo docker compose up -d;

echo -e '\nDone!';

I use these files to easily run Unifi Network inside Docker, using Docker Compose.

First, create the /opt/unifi-network directory and navigate to it using sudo mkdir -p /opt/unifi-network && cd /opt/unifi-network.
Then simply place the compose.yaml and update.sh files inside this directory.

To start Unifi Network, run docker compose up -d inside the directory. If you want to update Unifi Network in the future, simply run cd /opt/unifi-network && ./update.sh. Unifi Network will start automatically on reboots.

Note that the author of the Docker image I use recommends using this new image: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-unifi-network-application

I haven't had the time to set that up though.
