Well, there's apparently an ongoing problem with CentOS 7 ... :-( I wish I
could learn how to make it work...

When I run "chown root:root /var/lib/unifi /var/log/unify /var/run/unifi"
and append your UNIFI_USER bit to the main command line, it becomes:

# docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 -p 192.168.1.75:8880:8880 -p
192.168.1.75:8843:8843 -p 192.168.1.75:3478:3478/udp --name=unifi --rm -v
/srv/docker/unifi-store/run:/var/run/unifi -v
/srv/docker/unifi-store/log:/var/log/unifi -v
/srv/docker/unifi-store/lib:/var/lib/unifi silug/unifi -e UNIFI_USER=root

Unfortunately, when I run this as root CentOS 7 barfs with this:

chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/unifi': Permission denied
chown: changing ownership of '/var/log/unifi': Permission denied
chown: changing ownership of '/var/run/unifi': Permission denied
logger: invalid option -- 'R'

Usage:
 logger [options] [<message>]
...
For more details see logger(1).
unifi cannot start. Please create unifi user, and chown -R unifi
/var/lib/unifi /var/log/unifi /var/run/unifi

Is this the "*major*" permissions change you referred to?
