More on Unifi and their AP:s

A follow up on my last post about my Unifi setup. I bought a new home server recently and wanted to move the controller.

Below are a few of my notes of how to install the controller and migrate the AP:s.

Installing on Ubuntu 12.04 and later:

Add to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unifi:

deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/distros/deb/ubuntu ubuntu ubiquiti

Install:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unifi

Connect to https://<ip-of-unifi-controller>:8443 and go through the getting started guide.

set-inform http://<ip-of-unifi-controller>:8080/inform

Unifi stable, rapid and beta
