Building the lastest version of UniFi Controller on Proxmox Container

I didn't want to buy a CloudKey to manage my Ubiquiti APs, and wanted something lightweight to run the controller. After some research and testing out different methods, I opted to install it directly on a Proxmox container. I found a super handy install script from Glenn R on the Ubiquiti forums which has worked great for me.

Here are the steps I use to install the controller.

1. Download an Ubuntu container template into your Proxmox VE
2. Create LXC container in Proxmox with the template you just downloaded. My current config:
   • Hostname: Unifi01
   • 1 vCPU
   • 1GB Memory
   • 32GB Storage
   • Static IPv4: {chosen static IP, or use DHCP}
   • MAC: {MAC address if needed}
3. Log into the container and updatesudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
4. Install CA certificatessudo apt-get install ca-certificates wget -y
5. Download install script -versions available here, or download the lastest versionrm unifi-latest.sh &> /dev/null; wget https://get.glennr.nl/unifi/install/install_latest/unifi-latest.sh && bash unifi-latest.sh*Optional/Troubleshooting: make script executable chmod +x {script}.sh
6. Run the script and follow the install promptsbash {script}.sh --skip --fqdn {FQDN}:www.{FQDN}

Congratulations! You should now have a fully functional UniFi controller running on a Proxmox LXC container. Go to https://{address}:8443/ to finish setup.
