Kushal Das: Running Ubiquity controller on a Raspberry Pi

I got a few new Raspberry Pi(s) with 4GB RAM. I used them as a full scale desktop for some time, and was happy with the performance.

I used to run the Ubiquity controller for the home network in a full-size desktop. Looking at the performance of this RPI model, I thought of moving it out to this machine.

I am using Debian Buster based image here. The first step is to create a new source list file at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubnt.list

deb https://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian unifi5 ubiquiti

Then, install the software, and also openjdk-8-jdk, remember that the controller works only with that particular version of Java.

apt-get update
apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk unifi

We will also have to update the JAVE_HOME variable in /usr/lib/unifi/bin/unifi.init file.

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-armhf/

Then, we can enable and start the service.

systemctl enable unifi
systemctl start unifi
