Installation of controller

The ubiquiti controller is needed, to setup/configure you ubiquiti devices. Once configured, you can turn it off again.

Install Java JDK Headless

$ apt install openjdk-[0-9]+-jre-headless -y

Install haveged

In order to fix the slow start-up of the UniFi controller, we have to install haveged.The reason for the slow start-up is basically the lack of user interaction (no mouse movements) causing issues with the standard mechanisms for harvesting randomness.

$ apt install haveged

Add Debian repo

Install apt-transport-https

If not already installed (default since Buster)

$ apt install apt-transport-https

$ echo 'deb https://www.ui.com/downloads/unifi/debian stable ubiquiti' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubnt-unifi.list
$ wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/unifi-repo.gpg https://dl.ui.com/unifi/unifi-repo.gpg

Upate and install controuler

$ apt update
$ sudo apt install unifi
