Modern Mongo still seems to corrupt itself on the Unifi Cloud Controller I have to deal with if there is no disk space left or hard power off. Postgres will be usable after disk space is freed, or when booted back up. This is a really basic reliability issue.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Unifi Cloud Controller is not running the latest version and does not have journaling enabled.

  > is not running the latest version MongoDB's not still in early prototype phase or similar is it? Basic reliability shouldn't really need the latest version any more, a few years in. :)

OT: Ubiquiti seem to be ... not good at software and only relatively good at hardware. I'm not sure why they're as popular as they are and I'm slightly ashamed at being suckered in by Troy Hunt's marketing. Is it just a case of the rest of the home/SOHO WAP/router segment is cataclysmically bad, so they only have to be a little bit better? (The WAP is good, but not as fast as the Turris Omnia it replaced).

  > I'm not sure why they're as popular as they are For me it's always been price. Back when we adopted them Ubiquiti UAPs were pretty much the only thing close to enterprise access points (centralized management, radius support and all that jazz) but at 1/10th of the price of Cisco/Ruckus/Aruba. I agree that they're a bit overhyped: we have 200+ deployed and they are not exactly the most reliable, some devices just disappear from the controller forever, some early generation ones would just overheat and die, CLI management is non-existent. But hey for $70 a pop you can just buy a truckload of them and replace them as needed.
