I understand that for some of you getting into UniFi gear is a bit tedious because of the controller... Not anymore.Thanks to the kind folks at NexLevel Business Solutions (and @chevrolux) for donating a virtual machine I've now fired up a free UniFi controller for the Geekzone community to use.The server itself is managed by yours truly, I do have a fulltime job so will manage it in my spare time. This is intended for home use. It is running the latest version of the UniFi controller software behind a nginx proxy hosted in AWS. Pricing for UniFi products is available Here.Setup:1. DM me on Geekzone - this is required to get your login to the UniFi portal.2. Login to https://gzunifi.nlb.nz with your provided user/pass combo. Change your password to something secure. By logging on your devices should automatically show in your site when you inform them otherwise it may appear elsewhere (Ubiquiti Limitation).3. set inform your gear to the controller at http://gzunifi.nlb.nz:8080/inform (guide here to do via SSH).4. PM or IM me to accept your devices to the controller under your "site" if they don't show. If you've got the MAC address of your device I'll be able to get this moved ASAP.Note: IP Whitelisting is enabled on this server - only NZ based IP's are allowed to communicate with the controller. If you've got an odd IP that appears to be in a different country (or for some reason you're from a different country and I've approved you) then ensure you send me through your IP address so I can whitelist it. The controller's web interface is however available worldwide over port 443 only.Current Issues:- By running a set inform it may show up in the default list or in another site. I am available either by DM here or on Hangouts (available on request) to get your devices moved to your site. This is a limitation of the UniFi software but once it is in your site it is there forever unless if you forget it from the controller.Disclaimer: this is a community project. Uptime is not at all guaranteed however in the event it does ever go down for a period of time your networks will still stay running as normal. Backups are made by the server on a weekly basis and community-based help is available in this thread. Approval to the UniFi controller is based on users having at-least 10 posts on Geekzone, introducing themselves in the Introductions thread, actually being a member for a period of time and on my general approval - do DM me anyway as there are some exceptions to this case.There is also a post on the general security of this here (or below).
