Ubiquiti Unify on RasPi

there are some tweaks in the write-up. Note others have commented that once the Unifi Wifi APs have been setup they keep their config and do not need a controller present, but when the RasPi4 controller costs $35us for the 2Gb model and it is remotely accessible via ui.com and it uses super low power… its a no-brainer.

Make sure you have expanded the file system on the SD card.
ssh into pi, usually logon pi pw raspbian
sudo raspi-config
advanced
expand file system
reboot

another good option is to install portainer.io for the nice docker container GUI and use the Ubiquiti template to deploy a virtual cloudkey.

The inform URL will need to be changed as the default is the IP address of the guest and it needs to be the IP of the host

Pros:
run multiple tasks, including a desktop, on a single Pi

Cons:
A bit more work to setup. If you don’t know where to change the Inform IP you won’t be able to adopt devices.
