Manage systemd Units

unifi-systemd is a container that runs systemd and nested podman containers.

Use unifi-systemd shell to enter the container shell to interact with systemctl and podman.

See the links below for documentation of services provided by this repository.

• container-adguardhome
• container-boringtun
• container-caddy{,-unifi}
• container-certbot{,-unifi}
• container-homebridge
• container-inadyn
• container-wpa_supplicant
• ssh-key-dir

To create a new container service unit, see podman-generate-systemd(1).

Config and Data Directories

Backup

It is recommended to gracefully stop all services with unifi-systemd stop before create a backup. Services can be restarted with unifi-systemd start.

By default, the following directories are used to store config and data.

• /mnt/data/etc
• /mnt/data/var

Store Data on Hard Disk

To store data on hard disk instead of the eMMC, move the directories into /mnt/data_ext and create symlinks on /mnt/data.

unifi-systemd stop
mv /mnt/data/etc /mnt/data_ext/etc && ln -s /mnt/data_ext/etc /mnt/data/etc
mv /mnt/data/var /mnt/data_ext/var && ln -s /mnt/data_ext/var /mnt/data/var
unifi-systemd start

Migrating from udm-boot

To migrate from udm-boot, please install unifi-systemd and unifi-systemd-units first.

podman exec unifi-os dpkg -P udm-boot
podman exec unifi-systemd systemctl enable unifi-entrypoint@mnt-data-on_boot.d.service
