Unifi controller

[ChaosUK]

Hi

i am using unifi ap at home. i was using a controller on my windows pc to do the updates so far.
I figure out it would be much easier to just install controler on my Truenas.
Pluign installs fine. I exported all of the settings from my "old" controller. It seems to work fine but my AP just shows offline.
I tried resetting it but notthing changes.
Just to test i installed to controller on another windows machine and resored my backup. It worked without a problem AP showed as "ADAPT" and started working straight away.

I can see Truenas controler on my mobile app but i am not able to connect.
Can anyone help?

You have to reset it and then adapt it via the menu for the individual AP. Sounds like you’ve already done the reset.

I just went through the same thing.

ran into a little gotcha, my win10 was running Network App 7.4.156, and pkg install unifi7 in a truenas jail would only install 7.3.xxx, which wouldn't restore the 7.4.156 saved config ... but 7.4.156 was in ports, so I had to pkg delete unifi7, then build the ports for net-mgmt/unifi7 and install it (make install clean). once I did this, I could import the saved config from my win10 controller, and voila, my u6 AP's and usw's are all happy. :)

The FreeBSD package is at 7.4.156 if you switch to the "latest" repository instead of the "quarterly".

To do that:

Code:

mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
echo 'FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest" }' >/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

ah, good to know.

To check every FreeBSD package existing use freshports.org. In your case:

FreshPorts -- net-mgmt/unifi7: UniFi Controller v7

The UniFi Controller allows you to manage Wireless, Routing & Switching, VoIP and Video of Ubiquiti Networks.
