16.7 Legacy Series / [SOLVED] How to run the UniFi controller on OPNsense boxes?
« on: November 25, 2016, 12:37:17 pm »
I used to run an older version of the UniFi controller on my pfSense box. Now I switched
to OPNsense. Not suprisingly, the installation guide I used back then doesn't work with
OPNsense. So, that's why I'm here now.
Just as a sidenote, my installation of OPNsense 16.7 is still pretty much in vanilla state.
According to the README that comes with UniFi.unix.zip (version 5.2.9) the software has
the following minimum requirements:
The above online archive of FreeBSD 10.3 contains both packages and so I thought that the following commands would have
been enough:
Unfortunetaly, I was wrong; these packages cannot be found. So, my guess is that OPNsense
uses a different software repository and that it's configuration works differently.
What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions on how I can solve this (probably simple) problem?
