Installing Ubiquity Unifi Controller onto a Raspberry Pi
Use the command sudo chmod +x update.sh for all .sh files to make them executable.
- Run the
dist-update.shfile to update the Raspberry Pi to the latest. - Run the
install-unifi-controller-5.shfile to install the Unifi Controller and its requirements. - Run the
disable-default-mongodb.shfile to disable the default instance of MongoDB.
Optional: Setup avahi-daemon to respond to 'raspberrypi.local'. This allows you to access the Raspberry Pi device by name on your network.
- Run the
configure-avahi.shfile to create the required multiple.service file and restart the avahi-daemon - Install the Bonjour for Windows from Apple at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL999

The Raspberry Pi should now be addressable from other machines as 'raspberrypi.local' if raspberrypi is its hostname, for example:
ping raspberrypi.local

crontab -e
Choose nano as the editor, then enter the following line on the last line of the file.
0 0 * * SAT sh /home/pi/update.sh >> /home/pi/logs/cronlog 2>&1
This will run the script update.sh once a week on Saturday at midnight to update the pi.
