I did some poking around, and I found a workaround for my install. I don't actually know what's changed between these two versions, though. It seems to be a permission issue with /var/run/unifi.

From /usr/lib/unifi/logs/mongodb.log:

...
2022-08-12T05:32:03.033+0000 I CONTROL  [main] ***** SERVER RESTARTED *****
2022-08-12T05:32:03.038+0000 I CONTROL  [main] ERROR: Cannot write pid file to /usr/lib/unifi/run/mongod.pid: Permission denied
...

Going into the container:

docker exec -it unifi /bin/bash

Checking permissions. Everything seems fine here:

Following the symlink:

root@docker:/usr/lib/unifi# cd /var/run
root@docker:/var/run# ls -nsah
total 16K
4.0K drwxr-xr-x 1   0   0 4.0K Aug  8 19:03 .

   0 -rw-rw-r-- 1   0  43    0 Aug  1 00:00 utmp

Notice how the unifi directory wasn't fixed by chown at startup. We can fix it manually, at least for this instance:

root@docker:/var/run# chown 1000:1004 -R unifi
root@docker:/var/run# exit

Checking mongod.log again:

tail -f mongod.log

I'm pretty new at contributing on Github, but I figured I'd try to fix this myself. Sent out #104. Hopefully it's done correctly :)
