      Ok, in the meantime I'm trying https://unifi.xx.xx.xx.xx:8443 and not getting anything. Shouldn't that work?

      It should as long as Unifi service is started, ports listening internally and Vultr fireewall allowing it.

                    Also your Vultr firewall should have the following ports open:

                    0_1513547681500_8AAAF992-723F-4BF9-8773-7DA26BB00399.jpeg

                        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?

                                            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.
