How to install the Ubiquiti UniFi Controller on Debian 9.1
-
@jaredbusch Thx, will give that a go!
-
Thinking out loud here...
This Controller vm is behind a firewall (aka Unifi USG4)...is that a good strategy? -

As long as you open the ports needed it should not be an issue.

Also take a look at this KB

Did this on Vultr last evening worked perfectly. Thanks @JaredBusch for your guide

To update the Cloud Controller to the latest version on debian, is it just another
apt-get install unifi -y

If you added the repo per this guide, then it should just be
(sudo) apt update && (sudo) apt upgrade -y)
like any other system update -

Had top reinstall the controler today; had to do the following before it would work:
apt install apt-transport-https

Because this is from the repo, I would submit a support email to Ubiqiuiti.

I want to put this behind a nginx reverse proxy. Do you think I could use this?

My system is behind an Nginx Proxy.
These ports are forward through straight to UniFiset firewall group port-group UniFi_tcp description 'UniFi Controller TCP Ports' set firewall group port-group UniFi_tcp port 8080 set firewall group port-group UniFi_tcp port 8081 set firewall group port-group UniFi_tcp port 8880 set firewall group port-group UniFi_tcp port 8843 set firewall group port-group UniFi_tcp port 27117 set firewall group port-group UniFi_udp description 'UniFi Controller UDP Ports' set firewall group port-group UniFi_udp port 3478
set service nat rule 3 description 'UniFi TCP' set service nat rule 3 destination address 207.244.223.13 set service nat rule 3 destination group port-group UniFi_tcp set service nat rule 3 inbound-interface eth2 set service nat rule 3 inside-address address 10.254.0.32 set service nat rule 3 log disable set service nat rule 3 protocol tcp set service nat rule 3 type destination set service nat rule 4 description 'UniFi UDP' set service nat rule 4 destination address 207.244.223.13 set service nat rule 4 destination group port-group UniFi_udp set service nat rule 4 inbound-interface eth2 set service nat rule 4 inside-address address 10.254.0.32 set service nat rule 4 log disable set service nat rule 4 protocol udp set service nat rule 4 type destination
This has all been setup for so long it is not even funny. I really should redo everything from scratch.
This guide may be from 2017, but the original system was running on a Windows server behind the same proxy, in my colo space, prior to being moved to this.

Wait. No that guide is for UNMS not UniFi. Those are different solutions with different needs. So I have no idea what UniFi would do with that.
-
@VoIP_n00b when I did my original UNMS install I used these options and thus needed nothing special in my Nginx config. ALso I don't want unencrypted connections, so I do not forward anything on 8080.
sudo bash /tmp/unms_install.sh --behind-reverse-proxy --public-https-port 443 --http-port 8080 --https-port 443

So I got the Unifi Controller working with the same nginx config as the UNMS. Thanks again @JaredBusch
Now how do I get my AP connected to the controller?
