On the forums they seemed to recommend stopping the service and running
sudo ~unms/app/unms-cli rewrite-redis-aof
I was getting the following error when trying to run this command. Running the above command worked though.

Ran into an issue when trying to figure out some problems with UniFi and UniFi-Video. Upgrading both to the latest version was causing problems, because they both needed different versions of MongoDB.
Was getting the following error when trying to install MongoDB. Think I was trying to install Mongo following the instructions on their site and then it caused issues with apt.
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/mongodb-org-server_4.2.5_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/mongod', which is also in package mongodb-server-core 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu1.1 dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Removed the following file
rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.2.list
and was able to use apt again to install MongoDB. Didn’t end up solving my problem because I technically needed two versions, but at least apt was being nice again. Ended up installing the UniFi controller docker container and can run both on the same server that way.
The following command sets up a container which we can later manipulate to start and stop the “service” You can specify where you want the UniFi files to reside if desired.
sudo docker container list
367c7a1465ec jacobalberty/unifi:latest "/usr/loca/bin/dock…" 15 minutes ago Up 14 minutes (healthy) unifi-controller
List docker images on system
sudo docker images jacobalberty/unifi latest baebbe301633 9 days ago 711MB
Stop container. Also stops the UniFi service. Change the ID to your container ID.
sudo docker stop 367c7a1465ec
Other notes
When setting up the Docker image, the directory specified was “/docker/unifi” so all the UniFi files are in there and it looks like if you manipulate the files, it makes the changes fine. At least for setting up the SSL certificates.
When trying to SSH to older devices like a Ubiquiti Bullet2, you may receive an error saying
no matching cipher found. Their offer: aes128-cbc,3des-cbc,aes256-cbc,twofish256-cbc,twofish-cbc,twofish128-cbc,blowfish-cbc
The work around is to manually specify the cipher with the “-c” option. You will also probably need to specify the KexAlgorithm “Key Exchange Algorithm”
The UniFi cameras are different then the AirMax line in how the configuration works. There is a “/tmp/system.cfg” file, but it does not contain most of the configuration option. In the default directory there are some files which appear to handle the device configuration.
The network configuration file is “ubnt_networkd.conf”
Edit the file by opening it up in vi or a different text editor.
Log into the GUI and verify everything looks correct. Under the network tab it was still showing that it had a static address, although it pulled a DHCP IP.
