Quote from: jds on October 31, 2018, 04:16:36 pmYeah, I was the OP on that other thread, and my 'solution' was to uninstall the unifi controller and migrate it to a raspberry pi. The unifipi works great, but the best solution would probably be to have an official way to install the controller in the same box as opnsense. Hell, while I am fantisizing, why not make it a widget, too? Seriously, though, is this fix in 19.1 just because opnsense will move to freebsd 11.2, which might break the unifi installation again in the future? Or is there any plan to have an official way to have them play nicely together?Unifi on the Raspberry Pi works incredibly well. I have two of them deployed and they work flawlessly. I would also say, just because you could run the Unifi controller on Opnsense, it might not be a great idea from a security standpoint. The software is a large java application that is essentially a "black box"; you don't know what kind of potential vulnerabilities it has. It is closed source and proprietary. The code most likely doesn't get the scrutiny that the standard, packaged, Opnsense daemons do. I'm not saying in any way it's bad software, I use it and I like it. I'm just saying we don't know what is in it and I wouldn't recommend running on a firewall. Especially when it runs like a champ on a $35 device
