UniFi Controller Debian Wheezy guide

  • To install the Unifi controller you will need to add Ubiquiti’s and mongodDB’s repo to the sources list
echo "deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/distros/deb/debian debian ubiquiti" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/debian-sysvinit dist 10gen" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
  • You now need to add GPG keys
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv C0A52C50; apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
  • You can now install one of three version of the controller, Beta, Rapid and stable,
  • There are 3 packages in the same repository. unifi (the most stable) unifi-rapid (soaked beta) unifi-beta (the cutting edge)
apt-get update; apt-get install unifi-beta
service unifi restart
  • Once installed goto your browser and use this URL https://172.16.0.3:8443/  “and of course replace 172.16.0.3 with your server IP”

If it doesn’t load it will be one of these ‘MongoDB’ ‘java’ ‘iface lo’
