Version
Description
Ubiquity network (ubnt) provides a UniFi controller which can run on a Linux server to monitor your UniFi devices. Those are WiFi and networking, professional grade devices. This contribution allow to install and follow the upgrade of this controller on a SME server . As this is proprietary software, we can not bundle it as a rpm and distribute it. This rpm is all you need to easily download and install with the least intervention on your SME.
Installation
First install the needed repositories.
yum install smeserver-extrarepositories-centos-sclo-rh smeserver-extrarepositories-epel signal-event yum-modify
Install the SME Server Package
yum install smeserver-unifi --enablerepo=smecontribs,smedev,epel,centos-sclo-rh
Launch the download and installation of your installer.
signal-event smeserver-unifi-install config set UnsavedChanges no
you can now access to your UniFi controller using : https://YOURSERVERIP:8443
Follows the steps to configure the interface, and add your first devices.
Uninstall
yum remove smeserver-unifi unifi
you can then remove the content of : /opt/UniFi and /opt/Unifi_bak
Configuration
here are the available configurations:
- access : default is local, you can set it to public to allow access from the outside network
- status : enabled
- TCPPort : 8080,8443,8880,8843
- VersionToInstall: here is the version number you want to install. Default is usually the version number of the rpm, currently 5.6.30 for smeserver-unifi-5.6.30. But you can force to install another version, if needed
Workaround
You might get the following warining in logs for mongodb
WARNING: soft rlimits too low. rlimits set to 1024 processes, 4096 files. Number of processes should be at least 2048 : 0.5 times number of files
