If you followed my guide on installing the UniFi Controller on your Synology in Docker containers<\/a>, you will notice one of the steps mapped the external ports to the internal docker ports. This provides the Unifi hardware the ports they use to communicate with the controller. However, during upgrade, although you could simply replace the container with the new one, what if it doesn’t work? That’s where this update process comes into play! This guide shows you how to upgrade a container, whilst ensuring the new container ‘takes’ the ports of the old container (yes it was frustrating first time, when I forgot about the ports!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  1. Log into your Synology and before you start please ensure you do a backup. Then open the Docker application, and head to the registry on the left hand side. (1)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Then search for the same Unifi container you were using; \u201cjacobalberty\/unifi<\/em>\u201c in my case. Select the image and click the \u201cDownload\u201d button. (2)\n
