Because Unifi runs inside Docker by default it uses an IP address not accessible by other devices. To change this go to UniFi Devices > Device Updates and Settings > Device SSH Settings, enable Inform Host Override and set the Inform Host to a hostname or IP address accessible by your devices (devices use the inform-endpoint during adoption). Note that you must use 8080:8080. If you MUST change the port, it must be changed on both sides and manually changed in your system.properties file. Otherwise, devices will initially communicate and then break after.
