Everything else will be handled during the install process.
Let’s dig in and discover how to do that. While you can use a Windows Server for the Unifi controller, Ubiquiti also offers an option to run the controller on Linux. You should not receive an error and see that the service is running. Now that you have configured the service, validate that it is running using the command sc query unifi.
The Unifi Controller software will launch and after a minute or so it will show that it is started.Ĭhanges to the default Unifi Controller directoryĬonfigures Java to run the controller as a service and to start on boot Accept all of the defaults and finish the install. Once you’ve installed Coretto, now run the Unifi Controller software you should already have downloaded. Since Oracle changed their licensing requirements for Java in a non-home use many organizations will opt to use OpenJDK instead of Oracle’s Java SE.Īssuming you’ve already downloaded Corretto, run the MSI to install OpenJDK and follow the prompts ensuring you leave everything as default to finish the installation of OpenJDK. If you need to remove Java for some reason, check out this article.Īmazon Corretto is a pre-packaged OpenJDK installer.
In this article, you’re going to install Amazon Corretto rather than the typical Java download from Oracle. To run the Ubiquiti discovery tool, you must first install the controller software, you’ll first need to install Java if you don’t have it already.
To use get it the controller set up is as easy as installing the software and launching it. Using Windows Server or even a Windows desktop is a common host for a Unifi Controller. Installing the Unifi Controller on Windows Server

I installed the Device Discovery app on my iphone it CAN'T see the UAP (don't know why that is) I also pinged the UAP from the computer and it worked fine I SSH'd into the UAP and pinged the ERX and it worked fine When SSH'ing into the UAP I gave the set-inform command to the same laptop's IP address (via port 8080)įollowing suggested solutions on other forums I disabled both the firewall and antivirus on the computer disabling both has not solved my problem I installed the Unifi Controller on the same Linux computer I setup the ERX using the wizard for WAN+2LAN2, where I changed the IP address for the ERX to 192.168.100.1 to avoid conflict with Verizon's modem I have a Linux Mint computer plugged into eth1 I suspect because of this message the "Action" button doesn't work. I can see both the ERX and the UAP using Chrome app for UBNT Device Discovery but there is a "failed to initialize UDP port 10001" message on the upper right corner of the page. I've also SSH'd into the UAP to follow these instructions for manually setting the controller address: On ERX, I can see the UAP's IP address via EdgeOS.
eth4 has passthrough activated and UAP connected to it UAP is showing a steady white light (and I reset it manually plus via SSH). eth0 is setup using the power injector as per a youtube video ( ). Setup is as follows: internet => Verizon FIOS modem => ERX (eth0). I'll describe as best as I can where I am in this (hopefully obvious) conundrum. All of the solutions suggested have already been tried. I searched through all the posts I could find with the same issue as I'm having.
