Unifi on Vultr: you 'has mad skillz?

Still not sure this is all that necessary.

@travisdh1 This script auto-updates when a new version of fw is released.

Unifi updates itself when firmware is available. It does not update devices. I would never want that.

I never said devices got auto-updated.

You never said they didn't either. You said:

Which implies to me it updates firmware.

So what @FATeknollogee actually meant is that the script updates the UniFi controller when a new version of the controller is released.

That has zero to do with new firmware. New firmware is released without updating the UniFi controller itself all the time.

So I just read the complete script.

It does much more than setup a basic install as I do here:
https://mangolassi.it/topic/14601/how-to-install-the-ubiquiti-unifi-controller-on-debian-9-1

On top of the basic install, the script also sets up things like Let's Encrypt, automatic apt updates (what @FATeknollogee called firmware updates), automatic database repair, automatic backups, etc.

@jaredbusch Thanks for reading up on it. (unlike others that just comment without reading)
btw, I am using it on Google & it works great!

Now, who wants to "fork" this to Vultr!!

No one. Because there is nothing here to do except a couple minor system configs.
And then a big config of how t connect to a third party storage to send the backups.

I don't quite get your answer..does that mean it's too easy or it's not worth the effort?

Because it's so easy, it's not worth the effort.

Also, the script is doing things that should be taken care of by the OS.

The backups are the only thing that I'd consider scripting, and things like Duplicati make those easier than this script.

Umm, no it's not. Did you actually read it?

Basically yes, it is not worth the effort. You can setup apt to update automatically yourself quite trivially.

The same for Let's Encrypt.

Reskimming, I am not sure WTF he is doing with lighttpd I would need to look closer.

But the scripting of the backup to a third party site is going to be totally custom to every install. This is way too complex to setup in a simple script.

It works for him because everything is tied to the Google account.
