      @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.

        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

        @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.

            @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.

                  @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.

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

                      @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.

                        @nebulon You have to apt-mark hold openjdk-11-* and then just install unifi via their repository. It will grab their jre as far as I know. (RE: https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/220066768-UniFi-Network-How-to-Install-and-Update-via-APT-on-Debian-or-Ubuntu)

                        Once installed, disable the systemd unit files and then run manually with supervisor like we do other services.

                          @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.

                              @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?

                                @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?

                                        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.

                                            @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.
