Ubiquiti Unifi U6+

Unifi Network Controller

The only way to do the initial set-up of the device is by using Unifi's proprietary application. This can be downloaded from https://www.ui.com/download/unifi

The controller actually connects over SSH and configures the device over SSH. You can SSH to the device as ubnt@192.168.1.20 with the password "ubnt" but it's a BusyBox shell.

Some kind person has created a docker image of the Unifi controller software. It requires a MongoDB instance to run though.

$ mkdir unifi
$ mkdir unifi/mongo
$ mkdir unifi/controller

$ cat unifi/init-mongo.js
db.getSiblingDB("MONGO_DBNAME").createUser({user: "MONGO_USER", pwd: "MONGO_PASS", roles: [{role: "dbOwner", db: "MONGO_DBNAME"}]});
db.getSiblingDB("MONGO_DBNAME_stat").createUser({user: "MONGO_USER", pwd: "MONGO_PASS", roles: [{role: "dbOwner", db: "MONGO_DBNAME_stat"}]});

$ cat unifi-docker-compose.yaml
