Hi,

Apologies if this is not where to ask this question, but I've searched the issues, google and UniFi community for help, and spent 2h trying to get it to work myself.

I am running a UniFi Controller on a raspberry pi using docker. I'm trying to get this to go using scyto/unifibrowser from docker hub. I'm a docker novice...but passing the credentials on the command line.

sudo docker run --name unifiapibrowser -p:8001:8000 -e USER=admin -e PASSWORD=testpass -e UNIFIURL=https://192.168.0.216 -e PORT=8443 -e APIBROWSERPASS=19a40c48cdf1c67c1c615c2basdasdasdaDAdsasdads1cafff9279a20804d93b680a4d4073f2f215d266ebe0284439b52475c1f48195 --restart unless-stopped scyto/unifibrowser

this is the output I get in the console

I am not 100% sure how to create a config file but I think I did it right, but didn't get better results...

Is there something I need to enable in the controller to make this work? I expect I'm missing something dumb...

This sounds like an error with the credentials or with the syntax of the config/config.php file. Can you double-check the user name (must be an account with local access on the controller) and password?

alfista2600 commented 4 years ago

thanks, @malle-pietje - I got it working using a newly created user. I guess it didn't like the super administrator?

appreciate the help!

malle-pietje commented 4 years ago

Good to hear. It should actually work with all account types so probably this was caused by something else.
