Upgrading Unifi in Synology Docker

… FOR WHEN YOU JUST CAN’T SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT DAMN COMMAND

The blog where I copied the command has the above title. Interesting. It is interesting for me because I always have this issue. I need to start writing down everything I did so then I don’t have to reinvent the wheel when I need it again in the future. Just like this one — to upgrade Unifi version in Synology docker.

Luckily, I found this pretty quick.

Create a backup using the Web UI of UniFi by going to Settings > System > Backup and hit Download (Settings only). Once done, it’s time to power off your container:

Docker > Container > [your-unifi-container] > switch it off

Once powered down, proceed to fetch the :latest version of the image:

Docker > Registry > jacobalberty/unifi (:latest)

Hit Download at the top (or Right-click on the image name and select Download this image“
Wait for the download to complete – you should see a notification once that’s done.

Finally, we’re going to reset the container itself:

Docker > Container > [your-unifi-controller] > Action > Reset > Yes
