This new container uses our current base images and a separate mongodb instance, which makes it substantially easier for us to maintain going forward. + +We will continue to support our Unifi Controller image until **2024-01-01**, at which point you will need to have migrated to the Unifi Network Application container to continue to receive support. + +### The new container is not a drop-in replacement and it is crucial that you read the entire [Application Setup](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-unifi-network-application#application-setup) section of the readme before attempting to migrate an existing install + +Those of you who have been using our `mongoless` tag for the Unifi Controller container can switch directly to the Unifi Network Application container without needing to perform any migration steps.
