Ubantu server - Unifi OS issue

[My_King]

Anyone here running Unifi OS on Oebantoe server?

I am running in to an issue where if the OS restarts, Unifi does not auto start.

The log says, "waiting for container uosserver to start".

Stopping the service and starting it again fixes the issue until a restart. Once a restart happens, back to the same error with the same fix.

Reason for getting this up and running... Ubiquiti is phasing out Unifi Network Server.

Chatgpt is getting stuck on Docker needs to be installed. Even when you say it works, just not after a restart of the OS.

You mean YouBunTwo?

Are you using Docker?

Nope, installer also did not install it.

Works without it.

Just the restarts that cause issues.

Need to see if maybe I can't delay the start of the service.

Ok, I haven't used it before.

I'm assuming it runs as a service, is it enabled? e.g. sudo systemctl is-enabled whatever-the-unifi-os-service-is-called?

Jip did all of that good stuff. Hence where the error is coming from.

sudo systemctl enable uosserver

Even see the start screen with it.

Just the stop and start once fully booted that fixes it.

When you boot up and it's not working, what is the output of sudo systemctl status uosserver

Running.

Also generates that error every 2 minutes

Can't you create a crontab entry that gets run at restart that simple stops/starts the required service?

Thinking the same. Guess that will be the fix

Learned the hard way. Unifi you run in Docker. Less headaches, trust me.

Yeah I reckon if there’s a reliable Docker image available and you are on Linux that’s always the easiest answer.

Or on Ubuntu specifically if there is a Snap that’s also an option.
