[WORKING] unifi network application, mongodb 4.4.26 in jailmaker and dockge

Apps and Virtualization
1

Hi @all,

i managed to get the unifi network application image with mongodb 4.4.26 up and running after days of debugging and hope this helps somebody as desperate as me as i search for help!

First of all i didn’t get mongodb running until i turned off seccomp in the docker config:

jlmkr edit docker:

seccomp=0

then a reboot is required.

I had to get mongodb in version 4.4.x because my CPU doesn’t support AVX.
So i needed the init-mongodb.sh script as described in the unifi-nwa docs:

#!/bin/bash

mongo <<EOF
use admin
db.auth("${MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME}", "${MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD}")
use ${MONGO_DBNAME}
db.createUser({
  user: "${MONGO_USER}",
  pwd: "${MONGO_PASS}",
  roles: [
    { db: "${MONGO_DBNAME}", role: "dbOwner" },
    { db: "${MONGO_DBNAME}_stat", role: "dbOwner" }
  ]
})

But i didn’t got the Server up and running until i did this manually via MongoDB Compass Tool:

db.grantRolesToUser( "${MONGO_USER}", [{ role: "dbOwner", db: "${MONGO_DBNAME}" }] )
db.grantRolesToUser( "${MONGO_USER}", [{ role: "dbOwner", db: "${MONGO_DBNAME}_stat" }] )

I think you can add these lines to the bottom of the script and it should work.

And now comes the compose file:

version: "3"

I hope this helps someone!
