UniFi is a web based managment software for Ubiquiti devices.</br>
It is written in Java, utilizing the Spring Framework
and using MongoDB as a database.

# Migration from UniFi Controller
* Do the backup of your old instance through webgui settings.
* Down the old container.
* Spin the new stuff
* Restore the backup
<details>
<summary>Extra Info & Rant</summary>
Previously called [UniFi Controller](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-unifi-controller)
Ubiquiti morons decided to change the name to UniFi Network Application.
Then also tried to go for name UniFi Network Server with claim that it is for
selfhosted version, when not on their hardware. In docks even in downloads they
mostly use the `application` name.<br>
Though love that inside the webgui version its just `Network 8.0.28`
With this name change, linuxserver.io also changed the deployment so that
mongo database is now a separate container.<br>
Would not be a big issue, if mongo would not [suck big time](https://github.com/docker-library/mongo/issues/174)
at initiating databases in new deployments, making it unnecessary complicated.
Or if linuxserver.io could make a decision and write
[cleaner instructions](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-unifi-network-application/issues/13)
instead of trying to teach to fish.<br>
Also linuxserver.io official stance is to use older version of mongo 3.6 - 4.4<br>
Raspberry Pi users need to go for that 3.6
Big help to get this going cleanly was also [this repo](https://github.com/GiuseppeGalilei/Ubiquiti-Tips-and-Tricks),
from [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/18stenb/unifi_network_application_easy_docker_deployment/)
reddit post.<br>
First time Ive seen configs used in compose this way, saved bother of doing
a separate `mongo-init.js` file that for some reason did not work for me.
I improved it a bit by using variables.

Compose should not need any changes, theres `.env` file for that.
Worth noting is use of [configs](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/08-configs/)
to bypass the need for separate `mongo-init.js` file.<br>
The use comes from [this repo](https://github.com/GiuseppeGalilei/Ubiquiti-Tips-and-Tricks).

# Some Settings

When enabled it forces devices to ignore 2ghz band which obviously causes problems at range.
Fucking monstrous stupidity.
* DTIM sets to 3 for [apple devices](https://www.sniffwifi.com/2016/05/go-to-sleep-go-to-sleep-go-to-sleep.html)

When enabled it forces devices to ignore 2.4GHz which obviously causes problems at range.
Fucking monstrous stupidity to be default on,
but I guess globaly they have power to cleanup 2.4GHz a bit.
