Well done, this is also a good resource
UniFi Controller in Docker
It also covers the controller update procedure which is important.

Step 4 in your procedure is important as it stores the UniFi data OUTSIDE of the container and allows you to blow away or update the container without losing your data.

This tutorial is about import of Wildcard X509 certificate.
I spend 3 days with research, and I found just many trials and errors. Nightmare, thanks to totally unsupported topic and Ubiquiti attitude (same as Synology). Tons of solutions across internet, but each of them useless for Wildcard cert.

Then I have done for you fully functional guide. Tested and implemented right now. You now can spend 5 minutes only. Cheers.

up to your “business model”
I have one RT2600ac installed in one of my remote site, perfect fitting for the purpose. When it will die I will replace it by Unifi. Last man standing.
