UniFi Network Server (was Unifi Cloud Controller)

@murgero hm yes, I have tried that, but this doesn't seem to do the trick. In fact the java versions it asks for are not in Ubuntu 20.04 as far as I can tell. Maybe you built the package from the previous base image.

@nebulon maybe a jre ppa is in order?

[nebulon]

@murgero indeed, unfortunately I am struggling to install the oracle jre in headlessmode, due to their license approval method. I assume you probably have managed to get over this hurdle already somehow in your package, maybe you remember anything in that area?

[murgero]

@nebulon Thinking back, I believe I just used openjdk. I know you mentioned that Unifi didn't like the package included with ubuntu 20, can you downgrade to openjdk 10 or 8?

Any news on this?

Any updates on this? Would love to be able to host my own unifi controller within cloudron.

Any updates on this as it would be super helpful for MSPs and people like me who operate a few sites

[neoplex]

Yes, this would be great. However, multi-tenancy might present some challenges due to the service ports required by the Unifi Controller, especially for device discovery. That said, as long as L3 adoption is implemented (e.g. via DNS or DHCP option), using a dedicated custom set of ports for each instance should work fine.

Any update on this? Happy to chip in for the implementation.

@neoplex I lost the code to this a while ago, but I could be convinced to give it another go - I almost had it working before, and since I've grown a lot as a developer since my initial attempt, I may get it working.

IIRC, @nebulon also gave it a try at some point but he hit some roadblock. Maybe it was related to port count feature?

Last time I checked they required a very specific mongodb version, but also the selfhosting was deprecated. Maybe that changed though. Looks like it is now called "UniFi Network Server" https://www.ui.com/download

For those who have TP-Link Omada this https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/9400/tp-link-omada-controller is much easier to install as app I guess?
