My response was tongue in cheek but seriously I recommend budgeting a VM or Raspberry PI to run their controller software which offers the most configuration options.

- silverwind 9y agoA Raspberry Pi probably won't do. The controller requires MongoDB which itself is no longer supports the 32 bit architecture which most RPis are running on.
- technofiend 9y agoPi 3 is 64 bit and natively supported in Fedora. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_Pi#Raspberry_Pi_3_aarch64_support https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Raspberry_P...
- rrauenza 9y agoI tried putting it into a docker container, but in the end didn't want to deal with the complexity -- bought a key. Does the VM/Raspberry PI get you anything the key doesn't?
- slantyyz 9y agoThe Unifi cloud stick isn't that much more expensive than a PI, and is probably the least amount of work to set up a dedicated controller. I use an Atom based PC stick that I had lying around to run the controller (on Windows) and it works great.
- technofiend 9y agoI mistakenly thought the cloud key ran a lesser version of unifi than the distribution found on their website, however googling around implies it's the same version. So I suppose budget for a cloud key or a pi. A raspberry Pi 3 is 64 bit, runs Fedora natively and can serve up other functions beyond the key. So I lean towards the Pi but if they're functionally equivalent I suppose it's down to personal preference.
