  • Potential Purchase for a K8s Cluster, thoughts?

    I have a perfect example of that. First, did you build your own unifi controller docker image, or are you using someone else's docker image like this one from linuxserver?

    it's also because of the overlayfs bug. The change to load during init dropped my "startup" time on the container from 5+min to something like 9seconds. With how widespread that bug is, this was a pretty huge fix for our intended audience. https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-unifi-controller/pull/118
  • Migrating from UCK (Gen1) to Docker
    1 project | /r/Ubiquiti | 30 Dec 2022
    I plan on migrating off the UCK over to a Docker container (https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-unifi-controller) going forward. Now, the docker HOST lives in a different VLAN than the current UCK. UCK is in 192.168.1.x and the Docker host is in 192.168.3.x. I planned on making some firewall rules beforehand to allow the needed traffic to reach the host and back to my UniFi gear (USG4, 2x UAP-AC-PROs, US-8-150w, 2x USW-FLEX-MINI) so they can adopt and whatnot.

    Trying with a second account resulted in the same error. I also tried with both 'https://github.com/jacobalberty/unifi-docker' and 'https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-unifi-controller' and they each give the same error.
  • If I buy unifi WAP, I would need something like pfsense and the unifi controller?
    1 project | /r/Ubiquiti | 18 Sep 2022
    Hello, I am intrested in running a virtual machine pfsense on proxmox with a unifi 6 long range, and im wondering if I would still need/find the unifi controller useful, and if something like https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-unifi-controller would suffice, since I already have home server. and also is the unifi controller also have router functionality? because while browsing through the web UI, I found things like firewall settings.
