Run UniFi Protect in Docker on ARM64 hardware.

Run the container as a daemon:

docker run -d --name unifi-protect-arm64  \
    --privileged \
    --tmpfs /run \
    --tmpfs /run/lock \
    --tmpfs /tmp \
    -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro \
    -v /storage/srv:/srv \
    -v /storage/data:/data \
    -v /storage/persistent:/persistent \
    --network host \
    markdegroot/unifi-protect-arm64:latest

Now you can access UniFi Protect at https://localhost/.

UniFi Protect needs a lot of storage to record video. Protect will fail to start if there is not at least 100GB disk space available, so make sure to store your Docker volumes on a disk with some space (/storage in the above run command).

If you are stuck at a popup saying "Device Updating" with a blue loading bar after the initial setup, just run systemctl restart unifi-core inside the container or restart the entire container. This happens only the first time after the initial setup.

To build your own container put the deb file for unifi-core (for unifi-protect 1.17.3 you need unifi-core 1.6.65) in the put-unifi-core-deb-here folder and run:

docker build -t markdegroot/unifi-protect-arm64 .
