They've had their rocky moments, to be sure - and I won't hesitate to ding them for making self-hosting obscure. But, you can do so, and they actually listened and walked back their egregious stuff, so I'll give them credit for that as well, and my APs and ERPoE-5 have been rock solid. I've also liked their latest controller software (I run a VM on a ZFS storage backend, so I can roll it back if an update goes sour).
If anyone from Ubiquiti is listening, the fact that I can self-host is a major reason for my keeping my existing gear and being willing to buy more. I'm not keen on trusting my network administration to third-party server access.
- nicholasjarnold 3y agoI want to _strongly_ second this. After seeing some Ubiquiti gear in use in various enterprise settings almost a decade ago I personally investigated the brand for home use and bought into some of the WiFi gear for use in conjunction with the rest of my network hardware/software. If there were ever a requirement to allow public internet ingress or egress from this stuff directly I would immediately replace it. Self-hosting the controller is a base requirement for my use-cases as well.
