[Help]: Attempting update on bone stock Ubuntui + Portainer install...

Controller Version

5.15.24.19

Describe Your Issue or Question

I am trying to following the very well written directions step by step, and something about volumes or locations or commands is just not clicking.

I get this error:

ERROR: could not find MongoDB related files in '/opt/tplink/EAPController/data/db' (did you mount 'data' into the container using the same path as you run for the controller?)

This is the pertinent information on my Omada setup within Docker:

stephen@914homelab:/$ sudo docker volume inspect omada-stack_omada-data
[
{
"CreatedAt": "2025-03-29T05:52:28Z",
"Driver": "local",
"Labels": {
"com.docker.compose.project": "omada-stack",
"com.docker.compose.version": "",
"com.docker.compose.volume": "omada-data"
},
"Mountpoint": "/var/lib/docker/volumes/omada-stack_omada-data/_data",
"Name": "omada-stack_omada-data",
"Options": null,
"Scope": "local"
}

I am sure I am missing something EXTREMELY simple. Would appreciate any help.

Expected Behavior

When I try the command:

docker run -it --rm
-e DEBUG=false
-v omada-data:/opt/tplink/EAPController/data
mbentley/omada-controller:mongodb-upgrade-3.6-to-8

I expect the update to happen.

Steps to Reproduce

docker run -it --rm
-e DEBUG=false
-v omada-data:/opt/tplink/EAPController/data
mbentley/omada-controller:mongodb-upgrade-3.6-to-8

Container Logs

I don't think this is helpful but because the problem is not with your controller, I just am missing some super simple thing.

Replace omada-data with omada-stack_omada-data as that’s your actual volume name. I need to update the instructions to provide a command with compose o give you the volume name because I forgot how compose adds in the project name into it.

[mbentley]

I created #662 to address this with instructions on how to get the compose volume name.
