Install Unifi controller on Ubuntu

These instructions were validated for unifi controller v5.7.23 being installed on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

  • Start with clean install of Ubuntu 18.04 on Oracle VirtualBox v5.2.12.
  • Install java 8 using websiteforstudents.com or tecadmin.net.
  • If desired, install the firewall GUI administration tool from the Ubuntu store
      • As of 14 July 2018, add TCP ports 8080, 8443 and UDP 3478 to public/permanent
      • Note: Enabling Cloud Access and accessing the controller via https://unifi.ubnt.com instead does not require opening 8443, and is safer since no direct Internet access is permitted to your controller's management.
