Upgrade question Syno Docker controller about unifi-docker

[jacobalberty]

You can just pull the newest image and it will upgrade fine, the new volume layout is a separate issue entirely.

The new volume layout should be entirely backwards compatible with the old, it just provides a cleaner way of organizing the data to allow you to put data and log in a single volume.

You have a couple of options if you want to move to the new layout, the easiest is to only move your data volume line. The new docker run command would look like
docker run -d -p 3478:3478/udp -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 -v /volume1/docker/unifi/:/unifi/data --restart=always --name unifi jacobalberty/unifi:latest
The other option is to move the contents of /volume1/docker/unifi as a whole into a data subdirectory. Something like

mkdir -p /volume1/docker/unifi2/
mv /volume1/docker/unifi /volume1/docker/unifi2/data
mv /volume1/docker/unifi2 /volume1/docker/unifi

then your docker run command would be
docker run -d -p 3478:3478/udp -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 -v /volume1/docker/unifi/:/unifi --restart=always --name unifi jacobalberty/unifi:latest

This would give you the advantage of having your log files and data folder preserved under /volume1/docker/unifi.

Of course to just upgrade from 5.5.24 to 5.6.xx you don't have to do any of this, the new version of the image is backwards compatible with the old volume layout.
