[tillsense]

These guys have a sh script for FreeBSD.

I'm going to look at this.

[HFsi]

Yes! It would be great!

[franco]

The license looks good. Will somebody speak to the maintainer?


Thanks,
Franco

[HFsi]

I´m following the project...what should I ask him?

[franco]

If he would like to officially support OPNsense as well. :)

[HFsi]

Ok!

[Woi]

That would be... awsome  8)

Can this be used with opnsense as-is?

[Stephan]

In general a good idea - but I'm bit sceptic regarding all the stuff that gets installed by this... thorough testing is mandantory, I'd say^^

[fabian]

Can this be used with opnsense as-is?

no - it seems like this depends on java: https://github.com/gozoinks/unifi-pfsense/blob/master/rc.d/unifi.sh#L29

Java is not in the repository but you can get it from the FreeBSD repository.

Can this be used with opnsense as-is?

I'd say yes - if You mean the mentioned script -  in case this script is working as expected...
Here's the list of all the additional stuff that gets installed:

Ahmm - I just saw all this X - stuff...???  :o

I think I remember reading about this on reddit, really pumped about this!

ah nvm this is for running the controller on the router, I was reading about integration with the gateway protocols used in the controller itself.

So I have been trying to get the Unifi controller working but no luck so far. I've tried two different methods.

First I tried checking out the git repository and building the net-mngr/unifi5 package. After a few hours when it's compiling some java classes, the java runtime/compiler crashes so no dice.

Then I tried this script. The script works great! But same issue, the java runtime crashes. Has anyone successfully been able to get the Unifi controller to work on opnsense?

[the-mk]

installing it on the command line with that install-unifi.sh script from the first link works just fine for me...

I am curious what will happen, when an upgrade of the UniFi software arrives (>5.6.29) - how that is handled - does it upgrade via the GUI (I mean the UniFi one)?

after a little trip on the UniFi USG 3-Port router I am going to come back home to OPNsense :)
