Ubiquiti should have official containers, that way you can run it on wherever you want without worrying about package availability on distros.

[YKSGuy]

I moved to the linuxserver docker, while it is unofficial that group has a large number of very reliable dockers, and the nice thing about using it is that they keep the mongo and java dependencies correct with each release.

Side note on 7.3 my network map works again.

[brianfought]

I am new to Ubiquiti and this was very helpful. Thank you

[CirePC]

Great setup, checking it out as we speak. I restored a backup. Just a FYI for anyone doing it... Took about 5 minutes to start seeing my APs. Not sure why, but the adopted slowly. Big thanks !

[gregorysmith]

Long time follower and viewer. All of your work is done so well and is critical in all the right places. Figured a good word goes a way. Hope you continue to enjoy the business as much as we all do :)

[davidyoder]

I cannot tell you how timely this is! Looking forward to another video for setting up a multi-site config.

[edmar.martins]

Thank you for this video. I was able to setup my own config in a few minutes based on it. It was definitely a time saver. Other tutorials are a mess or outdated.

I was just looking to migrate from a cloud key to self hosted and sure enough Tom has me covered re install 👍
Migrating to a VM on ESXi 8 or XCP-NG and selling off CK.

[josegranados]

This works perfectly! Thanks! Had to install gnupg2 packege for it to work on my proxmox ubuntu 20.04 container but other than that, this script is flawless.

[mattsowders]

Yes please make a multi-hosted controller! I would love to see you're process!

[fordsrmaster]

Thank you so much for this video. With your help I was able to get it up and running on an atomic pi that I've had siting around that wasn't being used for anything. It's a nice low power SBC that seems to run it without issues.

[stphnchl]

Tom, this was a great video. Thank you for putting this together, I was able to follow it and restore a backup of my older controller with ease.

[randleqgod]

This is exactly how I like to host my controller. I do not like dealing with the docker containers because I have to keep forcing my access points to adopt randomly. Some people may not agree, but I believe hosting UniFi natively on 20.04 with mongo and Java is way more stable than Docker. Thanks again.

[undergod]

the only thing i would include in this would be the Lets Encrypt - i see your previous controller you downloaded the backup from was encrypted with a proper SSL. it would be nice to include that in your setup. but as you said in the beginning you did mention you were going from ubiquiti's Documentation

[HersonRodolfoArevaloHernandez]

I used this tutorial to setup a unifi controller on an unraid vm. thank you

[liam]

Thanks for this. I really struggled getting this installed on Debian. I think it was because of Java 8, it failed to start the service. but that install looked much smoother.

I have a large install of 200 devices (APs and cameras) or so. Been trying to get the DHCP option for the UniFi IP to work to make my life easier, but can't get it going. More tinkering needed.

Thanks

[postnick]

I just replaced my first generation Cloud Key with a VM similar to what you did. I went debian 11 and a script, but I think I'll be doing what you did with ubuntu 20.04 just to be safe. that hold java 11 part may be very important. Saving this video just in case.

[mattparksey]

Sadly its using an EOL version of Mongodb 3.6! Why doesn't Unifi update their

[MaiconFerreira-flfs]

Thank you for this video! It helps me a lot in a new project in my job here in Brazil! Muito
