You can migrate your Unifi controller in the old settings screen. You can check the controller version under Setting > Controller or under Settings > System Settings > Maintenance if you are running version 6 or higher. Requirements to Migrate Unifi Controllerīefore we can migrate our Unifi Network to a new controller we need to make sure that the firmware of the new controller is the same version or higher than the old controller. This will require changing all the inform addresses on each device manually. But I am not really a fan of this, because the new controller will have (probably) another IP Address. If you don’t want this, then your only option is to use the backup and restore method. It comes with one downside, you will have 2 sites in the new controller, the default site (which will be empty) and your migrated site. This is the easiest method to migrate your Unifi network to a new controller. We are going to use the export site function for the migration. That can be the Cloud Key Gen2 or maybe the UDM-Pro, but also a docker image or a new Raspberry Pi.
No matter which platform you are coming from, you can migrate your Unifi Network to any other suitable server for the Unifi Controller. Sometimes you need to migrate your Unifi Controller to a new server, because your current one is getting too slow or when it’s time for simply something new.
