ubios-cert VS unifios-utilities

Firstly, I used the tool ubios-cert and the installation instructions they provide to do the majority of this process. For a good number of DNS API providers, these instructions alone are sufficient (e.g. GoDaddy, Cloudflare, etc.).

ubios-cert got a major rewrite to get rid of firmware V1.x requirements (like podman) and now runs on the bare metal firmware V2.x+ for UniFi consoles.

And I wouldn't recommend waiting for it. In the meantime, you could try out or contribute to https://github.com/alxwolf/ubios-cert.

Highly recommend using alxwolf’s script if you already have a domain name. This runs locally on the UDM and automatically renews the certificate with letsencrypt or others. Works very well and is compatible with UnifiOS v2+.

You should check out one of the other projects linked in the Unifi-utilities repo, https://github.com/alxwolf/ubios-cert. I just used this one of my updated UDM Pro without a problem.

This is the one I was talking about. https://github.com/alxwolf/ubios-cert

I just purchased the unifi express and I have been researching its capabilities and more specifically ad blocking functionality. I have found that people are complaining about the ad blocking abilities not being very granular and referring to unifios-utilities and running something like pi hole or adguard as an alternative. Can I safely assume that these options will be available to the unifi express?

https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities <- this cannot be more simple to digest. Stop spreading FUD (and learn to code if you still don't understand how Github works and what is linked)

Install on boot script: https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/tree/main/on-boot-script

Not natively but they run dnsmasq so you can use unifios-utilities with an on-boot-script to modify dnsmasq’s config and add whatever records you need, including wildcard
