Custom build docker image produces broken unifi video controller about unifi-video-controller HOT 5 CLOSED

@jeroenhendricksen not exactly what you're after but I was able to revert the ubuntu xenial security update the broke my unifi video by first finding out the available versions:

# apt-cache policy openjdk-8-jre-headless
openjdk-8-jre-headless:
  Installed: 8u292-b10-0ubuntu1~16.04.1
  Candidate: 8u292-b10-0ubuntu1~16.04.1
  Version table:
 *** 8u292-b10-0ubuntu1~16.04.1 500
        500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     8u77-b03-3ubuntu3 500
        500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages

And then installing the older version:

# apt-get install openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64=8u77-b03-3ubuntu3

from unifi-video-controller.

I have the same issue !

Tya for the support :-)

  * different openjdk java version? Yes: `1.8.0_265` vs `1.8.0_282`

I believe this is your issue, I restarted a non-docker version of unifi-video-controller yesterday and a java update broke the controller, I manually installed the old version and it worked fine after that.

Thank you for mentioning that. I'll have a try at fixing the specific version and report results back here.

I've "downgraded" java to the specific version/release openjdk-8-jre-headless=8u162-b12-1 and now unifi-video boots again. There is one exception left, but it doesn't seem to matter much:

Exception in thread "EmsInitTask" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.ubnt.airvision.service.ems.C.void.new(Unknown Source)
        at com.ubnt.airvision.service.ems.C$1.run(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748) 

So, the Dockerfile that now produces a working unifi-video server contains openjdk-8-jre-headless=8u162-b12-1 \ on line 29 instead of openjdk-8-jre-headless.

If anyone finds nice way to install the 1.8.0_265 version using apt, let me know. This issue is now fixed for me, so I'm closing it. In my opinion it's not worthy of a PR, unless we can find a nice way of installing the "correct" required Java version in a decent way.
