Ansible Galaxy role for installing UniFi Controller software for Ubiquiti Access Points on RedHat/Centos/Amazon/Fedora and other yum-based distros.
WARNING: This has only been tested on Amazon Linux so far, and may have issues in /etc/yum.repos.d/mongodb-org-3.2.repo
for Fedora (probably need to use the /redhat/ mongo repo.) If you install this on any other distro besides Amazon Linux please comment with your experiences.
Forked from https://github.com/fukawi2/unifi-controller-rhel and modified to be an includable role via Galaxy instead of a playbook.
- Ubiquiti's license does not allow redistribution of the software ZIP, so you must manually download the ZIP of the UniFi Controller software from the Ubiquiti website and save it to
files/UniFi.unix.zip
. The most recent tested version is "UniFi v5.0.6 Zip for DIY Unix/Linux" from 2016-06-01. If you are including this role via Galaxy, you may download this file to your playbook'sfiles
directory instead of this role'sfiles
directory; you may also download to an arbitrary folder in your playbook and specify the relative path in the variable. - You may need the EPEL Repository from Fedora Project enabled for some packages, however Mongo is installed directly from mongo.org so try running without first.
- unifi_controller_rhel_ntp_server (optional) sets your preferred NTP server for the UniFi APs to use (default:
pool.ntp.org
) - unifi_controller_rhel_ssl_bundle (optional) provides an alternate SSL CA certificate bundle/chain for the Controller to use. (default: none)
- unifi_controller_rhel_ssl_cert (optional) provides an alternate SSL certificate for the Controller to use. (default: none)
- unifi_controller_rhel_ssl_key (optional) provides an alternate SSL key for the Controller to use. (default: none)
- unifi_controller_rhel_unifi_zip_file (optional) sets the filename of the UniFi controller software on the Ansible system, can be a path relative to your playbook like
roles/my_other_role/downloads/Unifi.unix.zip
(default:UniFi.unix.zip
)

First, install this role via Galaxy by typing sudo ansible-galaxy install zyphlar.unifi_controller_rhel
Then create and run an Ansible playbook like this:
- hosts: your_unifi_controllers
become: true
roles:
- zyphlar.unifi_controller_rhel
Or, if you want to override some variables:
- hosts: your_unifi_controllers
become: true
roles:
- some_other_role
- role: zyphlar.unifi_controller_rhel
unifi_controller_rhel_unifi_zip_file: UniFi.unix.5.0.6.zip
BSD
There is none. Tested on CentOS 6 x86_64. Not tested on animals.
Your results may vary. Discontinue use and see a doctor if rash occurs.
Possibly open up ports in iptables if it's enabled by default in some distros:
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8081 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8443 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8843 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8880 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 27117 -j ACCEPT
# service iptables restart
