I've been thinking about migrating things so I dont' need to run my own instance.
Yep, One less server to manage!

If you have nearly ten devices, it might be worth buying one or two to get the free cloud hosting. Pays for itself eventually. You only need the very cheapest of devices for it to count.
What devices count towards the 10?
I would assume any managed device
Correct

Anything that shows up in the list AND is active.

Ah -
There's the rub. I won't have 0 devices after 30days... ah well.

APs are UNifi only so they can't count. You have an EdgeSwitch PoE, not a Unifi?

10, not zero.

Just migrated my stuff. Well that was incredibly easy.

Yeah, that's a drag...

If you have less than 10, the benefits of central management are low.
But it seems like a really weird limit from Ubiquiti.

UNMS is a dockerized setup by default. I assume they are spinning up a new container for each account.
Nothing is free, so I am curious, and have not been able to find, what they get out of this.

Either product testing (via telemetry, error reporting, etc)
OR
Perhaps the free price tag will entice people (MSPs, providers, etc) to use their product.
That's the only 2 things I can thing of right away.

From the little I can find, I am currently assuming the second. That is assuming they should have no access into the docker containers for individual details.
-
@JaredBusch I'd be inclined to agree. Telemetry and error reporting is enabled by default BTW on their cloud instances.

Being familiar with the design, I would check those setting and set them as desired.

Loss leader. Netgear already does this, so lacking it meant being behind their competition.

I know you love Netgear, but they are not competition to me. I never consider them.
