> Next project: 1x Raspberry Pi Zero W to run Unifi Controller

Ugh, have fun with the dependency issues. An easy alternative is to run a Unifi docker image. Currently running it from a Debian VM when needed but looking to move it to an alpine vmm on my OpenBSD APU2. The Linux image is the same as the cloud key so you can roll your own cloud key and use the unifi app.

Here is the image I use though there are others: https://hub.docker.com/r/jacobalberty/unifi/




It is a nightmare! I just finished fighting with it this weekend.

The controller only officially supports ARM 32, and the mongoDB dependency only supports ARM 64.

In the end I I used a 64-bit Ubuntu, 64-bit mongoDB from the mongoDB repo, and downloaded the controller deb from the Unify site, which is apparently architect agnostic.


I found it easier to just buy the cloud key...


I’ve never owned a cloud key, but the docker path is really quite painless and makes migrations nice too.


Take a look at Hostifi if you want your own server at a reasonable cost without having to deal with the management.
