UniFi Network Server (was Unifi Cloud Controller)

[murgero]

Am I allowed to tease a potential upcoming custom app on this????

@murgero Awesome

If it helps dev ops getting this request going, here are some resources that automate setup and then automate updating UniFi controllers.

https://community.ui.com/questions/UniFi-Installation-Scripts-or-UniFi-Easy-Update-Script-or-UniFi-Lets-Encrypt-or-UniFi-Easy-Encrypt-/ccbc7530-dd61-40a7-82ec-22b17f027776

Current Stable Release of UniFi Controller is 6.1.67

• The related install bash script is here at https://get.glennr.nl/unifi/install/unifi-6.1.67.sh
• The update bash script is here at https://get.glennr.nl/unifi/update/unifi-update.sh

Notes: both the installer and the update scripts require user input and should be easy to pipe in required info.

Have built many controllers for clients based on Debain and Ubuntu and this has been rocksolid. Features include the ablility to backup during upgrade, support for 2FA logins and installing test branch of upcoming releases.

All the required ports are listed here at https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/218506997-UniFi-Ports-Used

@tracker I restarted work on this - it's proving to be difficult cause the unifi installer needs it's own mongo server, plus other caveats

[girish]

@murgero as in, it cannot share mongo with other apps?

[murgero]

@girish I'm sure if I finessed the way it installs I could get it to use mongo from cloudron but as it stands right now the docker image I'm testing in uses it's own standalone install from the ubuntu repos.

I'm really curious if this is already ready for an unstable Appstore version?

[BrutalBirdie]

@murgero You still got this unstable working? I would like to take a look at it.

[murgero]

@brutalbirdie Sadly I accidently lost the source while rebuilding my computer. I could rebuild it though probably

[A Former User]

I’m curious for sure. I have. UDM pro but also I wonder if this and a more powerful small form factor machine would be a good replacement

[nebulon]

@atridad I will be getting a unifi setup soon as well next to my personal Cloudron at home, so most likely I will have the need for this package as well. So if anyone still has some state of a package around, let me know and I can pick it up from there.

[BrutalBirdie]

@nebulon same thought on my side

[MooCloud_Matt]

@atridad
UDM pro have the complete unifi os, and sadly for now there is now way to have that on other platform, that i know.

And UDM pro can't be controlled by external controller, i don't know if is an updated information.

We are using edge product for gateway due to those limitation.

Is packaging this app still in the works? I just ordered some Unifi APs and could use this in lieu of running the controller in a VM on my local network. Can consider sponsoring if need be.

[murgero]

@hakunamatata I was able to get it installed but stopped working on it since. I've also lost the source to my working model. I could recreate it, but I'd ask for sponsorship / donation to make it happen.

[hakunamatata]

@murgero awesome ! How much are you thinking?

[murgero]

@hakunamatata Shoot me a PM and we can discuss

[nebulon]

@murgero do you have a repo, which I could start from for getting this forward? I have now gotten an Unifi AP so I can also test this then.

[murgero]

@nebulon Any repos I saved are in my cloudron gitlab profile. I don;t think I have the code for this one anymore.

[nebulon]

@murgero no problem I will just start from scratch then. Do you by any chance remember how you installed the required java version? Unifi does not seem to like the openjdk from ubuntu.
