Unifi Network Controller App Help

Just installed App with ALL the defaults.
I just want it to work.
Problem: Controller doesn’t “see” any of my Unifi switches or APs.
TrueNAS CE 25.04.2.3
There are so many “options” on the install page, I’m not sure which of the ones to change to get the docker image to “see” the rest of the network.

Nevermind.

I just checked the “Host Network” box and it found the Unifi devices.

Funny, the UI did not recommend checking the box!

Hope this helps someone else.

Host Network isn’t necessary, but useful for Unifi, you can always adopt them manually. The downfall to Host-Networking is that now those ports are bound to Unifi, so if another app uses the same port it won’t be allowed

Thanks for the reply. You are the only person who took the time to comment. Thanks again.

So ports 30072, 30073, 30074, 30075 cannot be used by another docker container. As I understand it, that is the way docker works anyway. So is this a real “downside?”

For this app/container where the app supports you specific ports using ENV_VARs then no (I run mine on a different box so I know this container), however if you had something that used a more common port or mDNS that SCALE might be using you wouldn’t be able to use host-network and the app would fail to run
