How to install the Ubiquiti UniFi Controller on Debian 9.1

Also your Vultr firewall should have the following ports open:
-
root@UBNT_Controller:~# netstat -plnt
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:27117 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 16476/bin/mongod
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 334/sshd
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:27017 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 13860/mongod
tcp6 0 0 :::8843 :::* LISTEN 15628/java

@dbeato
Thought I was okay, but can't log in using http, just https.It's causing a problem when I try to set the AP's to look to the vultr IP for the controller.

You only login through https, your manually register the APs via port 8080.

set-inform http://ip-of-controller:8080/inform -
I SSH'ed into the AP
typed:
mca-cli
set-inform http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/informThen
info
I get "Unable to resolve (http://unifi:8080/inform)"

Question:
At a colo: I have a Cloud Key, I want to "move" the controller (off the CK) to a vm.
I've followed @JaredBusch install guideWhat's the proper procedure to make this move in the right order?

- Get everything on the same version
- Make a backupmfrom the cloud key and download it.
- Restore the backup to the VM.

@jaredbusch Thx, will give that a go!
-
Thinking out loud here...
This Controller vm is behind a firewall (aka Unifi USG4)...is that a good strategy? -

As long as you open the ports needed it should not be an issue.

Also take a look at this KB

Did this on Vultr last evening worked perfectly. Thanks @JaredBusch for your guide

To update the Cloud Controller to the latest version on debian, is it just another
apt-get install unifi -y

If you added the repo per this guide, then it should just be
(sudo) apt update && (sudo) apt upgrade -y)like any other system update
