Updates, even minor ones, sometimes change things. Upgrading UniFi controllerĪt the very least, back up your configuration before proceeding.īe sure to track Ubiquiti's release notes for information on the changes and what to expect. It will be up to the package maintainers to keep the package up to date with the latest version of the software available from Ubiquiti. To work around this, we can download the UniFi controller software directly from Ubiquiti during the installation process.īecause Ubiquiti does not provide a standard way to fetch the software (not even a 'latest' symlink), we cannot identify the appropriate version to download from Ubiquiti programmatically.

Challengesīecause the UniFi Controller software is proprietary, it cannot be built from source and cannot be included directly in a package. If you have already set up your system to use legacy BIOS, MBR partitons, and ZFS, then do not run this script.

To avoid this problem, use UEFI mode if available, use GPT partitions, or use a filesystem other than ZFS. It appears that one of the dependency packages may cause this. Again, using this script on a system with an MBR formatted ZFS root volume will break your system. This script will destroy a legacy BIOS system booting from an MBR formatted ZFS root volume see #168. Be sure to check the forks for versions specific to other systems. The script is known to work on FreeBSD-based systems, including pfSense, OPNsense, FreeNAS, and more. From December 2020, this means the 6.x branch.

This project uses the latest branch from Ubiquiti rather than the LTS branch. The project provides an rc script to start and stop the UniFi controller, and an installation script to automatically download and install everything, including the rc script. The objective of this project is to develop and maintain a script that installs Ubiquiti's UniFi Controller software on FreeBSD-based systems, particularly the pfSense firewall. A script that installs the UniFi Controller software on pfSense and other FreeBSD systems Purpose
