docker-unms VS docker-homebridge

I use a Cloudflare tunnel to manage my UniFi controller (official release from Ubiquiti, hosted on RPi4), my UISP instance (https://github.com/Nico640/docker-unms), and a couple other things in my home network. The Cloudflare docker container is on the same Docker host as my UISP container, but it doesn’t have to be on the same docker host obviously. It just needs to be in the same private network (behind your NAT firewall). I used to have both my UISP and UniFi management interfaces on the public web behind some ACLs to limit access, but when I discovered Cloudflare tunnels, it was like a relief knowing I could remove the potential “danger” of having those management interfaces on the public-facing internet.

If you are using their script to install UISP, it could be very well be vm is not enough to run this unnecessarily heavy app, it comes with 4-5 docker container, it is really great for heavily managed devices but seriously too much for ERX. I have got a cloud vps, vpn to it and run it there via docker compose https://github.com/Nico640/docker-unms you can try this first in your vm to see

According to the description the file paths should always be "homebridge", so at the moment both instances would interfere with each other when they both run (only one runs atm)...however, I could try to setup another homebridge instance and link that to another "homebridge" path in a sub-folder and see if that works. I'll give it a try.

Or just spin up a Docker container either one will do nicely

One physical PC is my "management" server. It's on my trusted VLAN/network. It hosts my wifi controller, homebridge, and scrypted and watchtower.

I recommend using the compose template straight from the source, to avoid issues like this in the future https://github.com/oznu/docker-homebridge
