Put it off for quite a while but I finally migrated from the deprecated linuxserver/unifi-controller container to the new linuxserver/unifi-network-application container to my unifi control plane.
I got a new switch that required at least unifi 8.1 and i was lagging behind on 8.0.27.
the new network-application requires a mongo db container. no big deal. but i had to export a full site backup and start from a clean slate with the new 8.1 system. no in-place upgrade supported. was fairly painless tbh, just a bit of a pallavah and an exercise in yak shaving i could have done without tonight. #selfhosting
@ironicbadger I have a similar setup, that I start with Docker Compose. Do you also get the warning message, when you start the application, that you didn't set the MondoDB password, and it will use the default one? Even though it is indeed set.
@ironicbadger "I could have done without needing to do that tonight" feels like the trade-off of self-hosting. E.g. Mastodon patches, configuration management rewriting (NixOS more places one day, hopefully)…
And congrats on the upgrade! Well, clean-install-grade.
