                Also your Vultr firewall should have the following ports open:

                    Looking at the firewall now.

                    Ports are opened internally.

                          Thought I was okay, but can't log in using http, just https.

                          It's causing a problem when I try to set the AP's to look to the vultr IP for the controller.

                            You only login through https, your manually register the APs via port 8080.

                                      Question:

                                      At a colo: I have a Cloud Key, I want to "move" the controller (off the CK) to a vm.
                                      I've followed @JaredBusch install guide

                                      What's the proper procedure to make this move in the right order?

                                        1. Get everything on the same version
                                        2. Make a backupmfrom the cloud key and download it.
                                        3. Restore the backup to the VM.

                                            Thinking out loud here...
                                            This Controller vm is behind a firewall (aka Unifi USG4)...is that a good strategy?
