Since the "legacy" unifi controler docker container from linuxServer will be deprecated and the new " unifi network application " requires a external MongoDB to operate , i will need to remove my old container and install these plus a mongo db . But i fail to understand how to instal / populate the DB as pere their guide .
If someone has done it and is willing to share a guide or tips id be glad.

Why not use the jacobalberty version?

Interested in the community's view to this too. This is what I've been using and it's been flawless.
