UniFi Help

I used to run UniFi in [[Docker]] using various images:

I now run it in a LXC container in [[ProxMox]]:)

Setup

Basic

  • name: k39-3
  • choose "Advanced Setup" to avoid logging into Unifi UI account
  • Settings > System > Advanced > Inform Host > Override with the IP address of the machine running unifi

Devices

Move devices from the old controller:

Reset to the factory state with a paperclip; it may be necessary to $ set-inform http://:8080/inform on the device; default SSH credentials - ubnt/ubnt

Reset to the factory state with a syswrapper.sh restore-default command on the device.

Networks

  • LAN: 192.168.1.0/24
    • Settings | Network | Default | Advanced | Manual | DHCP | DHCP Service Management | Domain Name: "lan.podval.org"
  • WiFi:
    • podval-u: all the bands
    • podval-2g: 2G only

SSH

Enable SSH for UniFi devices:

  • in the UniFi Console | Settings | System | Application Configuration | Device SSH Authentication
  • retrieve auto-generated SSH password
  • use it: ssh -o PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=ssh-rsa -o HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-rsa -o RequiredRSASize=1024 192.168.1.157 (see https://kcore.org/2023/03/27/ssh-unifi-fedora-37/)

Dynamic DNS

see [[ProxMox#Dynamic DNS]]

Port forwarding

TODO I'in the UniFi Console | Settings | Security | Port Forwarding, forward to the gatekeeper:

  • 22 - ssh
  • 80 - http
  • 443 - https

Static Addresses

Addresses on the 192.168.1.* network (*.lan.podval.org).
