        @MooCloud_Matt I love the Unifi ecosystem and have used it in many (even quite large) installations. I would always recommend to keep the controller on an appliance on its own seperate from all servers (e.g. on the Cloud Key Gen2 or Dream Machine Pro) though with a spare controller hardware in stock. Just my 2 cents though. Might be useful for others to run this on cloudron. I believe there is an unofficial docker image available somewhere as I have seen it run on Synology NAS systems in Docker. This might me helpful for packaging.

          Yes, please do this. Even if unstable, this is amazing.

                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 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?

                                @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.

                                    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.

                                          @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.
