Setting up the SSL cert for UniFi service when running in docker is fairly easy to do. All you have to do is modify the UniFi SSL renew script to use the UniFi Docker directory and change the start and stop service to start and stop the Docker container. The script below should be ready to go.
Download, chmod +x it, and run, drop it in cron to auto renew.
In the below script, change (unifiDir=”/docker/unifi”) to your UniFi directory.
Note: this triggers calling the teams.sh script that will send an update to Microsoft Teams to let you know that the certs should be renewed. Check here for more info.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Added support to do UniFi and UniFi controllers at the same time using the same cert.
# Original script from https://git.sosdg.org/brielle/lets-encrypt-scripts/raw/branch/master/gen-unifi-cert.sh

# Download URL: https://source.sosdg.org/brielle/lets-encrypt-scripts
# Version: 1.7
# Last Changed: 04/10/2020
# 04/10/2020: Changed directories and commands to work with a UniFi Docker install
# 02/02/2016: Fixed some errors with key export/import, removed lame docker requirements
# 02/27/2016: More verbose progress report
# 03/08/2016: Add renew option, reformat code, command line options
# 03/24/2016: More sanity checking, embedding cert
# 10/23/2017: Apparently don't need the ace.jar parts, so disable them
# 02/04/2018: LE disabled tls-sni-01, so switch to just tls-sni, as certbot 0.22 and later automatically fall back to http/80 for auth
# 05/29/2018: Integrate patch from Donald Webster <fryfrog[at]gmail.com> to cleanup and improve tests
# 09/26/2018: Change from TLS to HTTP authenticator
# Location of LetsEncrypt binary we use. Leave unset if you want to let it find automatically
# LEBINARY="/usr/src/letsencrypt/certbot-auto"
# Change to your UniFi Docker directory
unifiDir="/docker/unifi"
