Deploy an Ubiquiti UNIFI WIFI6 network using Raspberry PI 5 as controller

Welcome to my Channel! In this video I'll show you how to deploy an Ubiquiti UNIFI WIFI6 network using Raspberry PI5 as controller. This is a very nice solution that allows you to control the Access Points and the users on the network. Ubiquiti is known to sell very high quality networking equipment and by using Linux with UNIFI service we are able to fully control what happens on our Wireless LAN. I have been using for the past 4 years, UNIFI on raspberry PI 3,4 and no 5. No issues or incompatibilities so far. The solution uses the Raspberry PI OS 64bit. I've installed desktop version but changed the boot to multi-user.target using systemctl command. This way, the hardware boots linux on command prompt only. No graphical environment loaded. Here are the relevant commands (execute them under sudo or direct root account): apt install rng-tools nano /etc/default/rng-tools-debian uncomment line with #HRNGDEVICE=/dev/hwrng systemctl restart rng-tools wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/o/o... -O libssl1.0.deb dpkg -i libssl1.0.deb wget https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu/d... -O mongodb.deb NOTE: always check for latest versions. dpkg -i mongodb.deb systemctl enable mongod systemctl start mongod echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/ubiquiti-archive-keyring.gpg] https://www.ui.com/downloads/unifi/de... stable ubiquiti" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/100-ubnt-unifi.list redirect_here /dev/null curl https://dl.ui.com/unifi/unifi-repo.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/ubiquiti-archive-keyring.gpg redirect_here /dev/null apt update apt install openjdk-17-jre-headless unifi Finally, visit UNIFI portal: https://your_ip_address:8443 Enjoy! Hope you find this video useful. Thanks a lot for watching. Regards, Rodrigo Matias.
