Description jan 2023-03-13 09:17:08 UTC

I wanted to update the unifi / mongodb version and followed the instructions from UPDATING. I think the path is not correct:

> 20230310:
>  AFFECTS: users of net-mgmt/unifi7
>  AUTHOR: otis@FreeBSD.org
>
>  The mongodb dependency has been changed from 36 to 44, as MongoDB 3.6
>  is long out out support and end of life.
>
>  The upgrade path should be as following:
>
>  1. Take a backup from within the unifi7 application PRIOR to
>     updating!
>
>  2. Stop the unifi7 service (if running)
>
>  3. Copy the "backup" directory from LOCALBASE/share/java/unifi/data/db
>     to a safe location.
>
>  4. Remove all files and directories under
>     LOCALBASE/share/java/unifi/data/db
>
>  5. Upgrade the package and start the service
>
>  6. Restore the configuration from backup

Step 3: The "backup" directory is under LOCALBASE/share/java/unifi/data/, not LOCALBASE/share/java/unifi/data/db.

Step 4: if you just delete the content of the "db" folder you will end up with a controller you cant login to and you dont have the option to restore the backup from step 1. I *think* it should be LOCALBASE/share/java/unifi/data. I ended up deleting LOCALBASE/share/java/unifi/ and just reinstall everythig and it worked for me.
