Unifi-Controller

Unifi-Controller is running in docker on Hermes and acts as the interface to interact with Hades. It is available to access from inside the network on port 8443 on Hermes, or from this link.

This container is built from the linuxserver/unifi-controller image.

Configuration

Docker Compose

The docker-compose file for this container is located at /etc/docker-compose/unifi on Hermes.

The actual config for the controller is located in the same directory as the compose file.

version: "2.1"

services:
unifi-controller:
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/unifi-controller
    container_name: unifi
    environment:
    - PUID=1000
    - PGID=1000
    volumes:
    - /etc/docker-compose/unifi/config:/config
    ports:
    - 3478:3478/udp
    - 10001:10001/udp
    - 8080:8080/tcp
    - 8443:8443/tcp
    restart: unless-stopped

Backup Strategy

The Unifi Controller container has a function to auto backup its configs at set intervals. These backups are stored in /etc/docker-compose/unifi/config/data/backup/autobackup. The controller backs up its config every week (Monday at 1am UTC) and retains the configs for 28 days.

The backup files are then synced with /volume1/backups/unifi on Dionysus with a cron job that runs every day.

Cron calls this script when it runs:

#!/bin/bash

file=$(find /etc/docker-compose/unifi/config/data/backup/autobackup/* -type f
-ctime -1 | grep ".*\.unf$")

if test -f "$file"; then
    cp $file /etc/docker-compose/unifi/backup/

    find /etc/docker-compose/unifi/backup/autobackup* -ctime +28 -exec rm {} \;

    filesize=$(du -sh $file | cut -f1 | xargs | sed 's/$//')

    curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"content": "-----------------\n
    **Unifi Backup**\n-----------------\n`Unifi` has just been backed up!\nFile
    size: `'"$filesize"'`\nDate: `'"$(TZ=Europe/Dublin date)"'`"}'
