UBNT: UniFi Controller Issue
-
Recently moved and updated my UniFi (5.9.29) controller. however - it doesn't seem to work unless I go to terminal and run
sudo unifi startThe terminal will just sit there,.. without returning the prompt.. and will work. But the moment I CLOSE the terminal window the controller shuts down.
Has anyone seen this behavior?
-
What do the logs say?

Have you tried updating unifi over it again?

@gjacobse Did you enable the service to make sure it restarts on its own?

In theory yes. but it doesn't seem to be working. And the Fedora commands I find are more than a year old

Yes -
Didn't know it worked there - last I heard was Ubuntu or Windows is what Unifi Supported.

Why?

Fedora isn't supported.

It works anywhere. But the vendor only supports Ubuntu and Windows.

Fair point.

Since you are using Fedora confirm if SELinux isn't the one causing the issue.

It appears that yes indeed, it could be SELinux. I subsequently found a reference to using

I hate to say it but you might have better stability from future updates and any surprises by disabling SELinux.

Definitely, considering that SELinux is not considered when they are designing it.

Why is this on Fedora? There are zero benefits to this.
Migrate your install to Debian, or even Ubuntu if you hate yourself.

I run Fedora or Windows. I'm not going to get into multi-distros... I have no need or desire.

Then don't use one at all and manage the AP with their app.

That's not very logical. You have "no need or desire" for things to be simple? Saying you have no need or desire, on a thread of issues caused by it, doesn't add up.
It's fine to be passionate about homogenous deployments, but lacking desire makes no sense, and the "need" is to make your life easier.
Ask yourself... what purpose is the "single distro" requirement serving given that it doesn't make things easier, but rather harder?
