Did you setup the mongodb container as per our readme?

[JGNi]

Did you setup the mongodb container as per our readme?

No. I've now read it. I'm not sure I understand how it's done?

[dobbsrx]

I am also confused on the mongodb ... I've never had to setup a mongo container before. can someone ELI5 the process?

More specifically, I am not understanding the attachment point for mongodb

/path/to/init-mongo.js:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init-mongo.js:ro

I understand my file, but ":/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init-mongo.js:ro" is confusing me when trying to create the path inside the mongodb container

[aptalca]

Mongodb is a database like mysql, mariadb, etc.

Previously our unifi container had mongodb built in. However, due to version mismatches, we are no longer able to bundle it with unifi. So you need to set one up separately. The init-mongo.js file is an initialization config file we suggest so the necessary database and user for unifi is created in mongodb on first run and then unifi can connect to it and use it.

Keep in mind that it's unusual for us to bundle the db in (unless it's sqlite). So now it's more in line with the rest of our images where the db is external.

Closing this thread. If you're confused about the readme instructions and need help, feel free to stop by our discord.

@aptalca could that message possibly be included into the deprecation notice? That it's due to version mismatches?

[aptalca]

That repo is archived. We had numerous notices about it. https://info.linuxserver.io/issues/2024-01-01-unifi-controller/
