Yeah. Updates used to be a nightmare. I had to worry about Windows updates, Java updates, and of course Unifi updates.

Then I started to use the Docker container at https://github.com/jacobalberty/unifi-docker No worries about cloud login...

I have 21 APs all controlled by the container on a Raspberry Pi 4. It's not even breaking a sweat. When I want to upgrade the Unifi application, I stop the container, and re-run the command to use the newer Unifi version. Three minutes later, it's back on the air.
