    • Create unifi user: $ sudo useradd unifi
    • Retrieve its uid and gid from /etc/passwd and /etc/group (1001 below)
    • using docker-run:
      • --rm --init -v /home/unifi:/unifi --name unifi jacobalberty/unifi:latest
      • expose the ports: -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 -p 3478:3478/udp
      • did not work with --user unifi - probably because the image hard-codes the uid and gid of the unifi user as 999
      • tell the Docker image what uid and gid to use: -e UNIFI_UID=1001 -e UNIFI_GID=1001 -e RUNAS_UID0=false
      • that did not work either, nor running as root
    • using docker-compose:
      • create ~unifi/docker-compose.yaml from https://github.com/jacobalberty/unifi-docker/blob/master/docker-compose.yml
      • create ~unifi/.env from https://github.com/jacobalberty/unifi-docker/blob/master/.env
      • start with docker-compose up --detach in ~unifi
      • stop with docker-compose down
      • works, but not clear if it is running as the unifi user…
      • tell the image what uid and gid to use, add under services | controller | environment: 
        RUNAS_UID0: "false"
UNIFI_UID: "1001"
UNIFI_GID: "1001"
      • To make it restart on reboot: restart: always under each service in the docker-compose file.
