UniFi Controller on ReadyNAS 6.7.5 (Installation Guide)
I followed Snooker's Guide here, but had to manually install Java as installing via apt-get didn't work for me. These instructions are step-by-step, for those people who not familar with Linux. Install UniFi Controller on ReadyNAS 6.7.5 Enable SSH on System/Settings Screen SSH into your server using an application like Putty. Once you are logged in follow the instructions below. Make sure the ReadyNAS is fully updated: apt-get update Manually install Java 7 SDK Download Java 7 SDK (jdk-7u80-linux-i586.tar.gz) I downloaded off this site as Oracle wants me to register to download (Nope!) http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/funtoo/distfiles/oracle-java/ Copy the file to the Documents Share on ReadyNAS cd /opt mkdir jdk cd jdk mv /media/Documents/jdk-7u80-linux-i586.tar.gz . Extract the tarball tar -zxf jdk-7u80-linux-i586.tar.gz -C /opt/jdk Java will be installed in: jdk1.7.0_80 To set it as the default JVM on your machine: update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0_80/bin/java 100 and update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0_80/bin/javac 100 Verify the Java has been successfully Installed: update-alternatives --display java Outout should be: java - auto mode link currently points to /opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0_80/bin/java /opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0_80/bin/java - priority 100 Current 'best' version is '/opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0_80/bin/java'. and update-alternatives --display javac Outout should be: javac - auto mode link currently points to /opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0_80/bin/javac /opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0_80/bin/javac - priority 100 Current 'best' version is '/opt/jdk/jdk1.7.0_80/bin/javac'. Install UniFi Controller Add Ubiquiti Repository: echo "deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian unifi5 ubiquiti" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/100-ubnt.list Add Ubiquiti Key: apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv C0A52C50 Output Should be (if everything was done correctly): Executing: /tmp/tmp.KlgnXZZ9mK/gpg.1.sh --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv C0A52C50 gpg: requesting key C0A52C50 from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com gpg: key C0A52C50: public key "UniFi Developers <unifi-dev@ubnt.com>" imported gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1) Make sure the ReadyNAS has loaded the new repository: apt-get update Now we are ready to download and install UniFi: apt-get install unifi Press "Y" and <ENTER> to continue Unifi Controller will now download and install. This will take a few minutes. Copy the origional systemd service file to /etc/systemd/system so it will start on boot: cp -p /lib/systemd/system/unifi.service /etc/systemd/system Move unifi (located at /var/lib) to an area with more diskspace: cd /var/lib mv unifi /apps ln -s /apps/unifi unifi Start the UniFi Controller: systemctl start unifi.service Access the UniFi Controller User Interface via a web browser: https://<IP_of_your_ReadyNAS>:8443 The UniFi Setup Wizard should now be displayed Before proceeding, lets enable log rotation so your server's diskspace doesn't fill up! Stop the UniFi Service: systemctl stop unifi.service Now paste the following: bash -c 'cat >> /etc/logrotate.d/unifi << EOF /var/log/unifi/*.log { rotate 5 daily missingok notifempty compress delaycompress copytruncate } EOF' Then press <ENTER> You will not get any sort of message. Just the typical bash prompt. Restart UniFi or better yet, restart your ReadyNAS and validate the UniFi Service starts automatically and begin configuring the UniFi Controller and adding access points! --Good Luck--
