Can I use it without running some inane management VM?
- Avicebron 4mo agoGenuine question, if you're running unifi, why don't you want the management vm? Synology makes a decent NAS without the controller.
- eptcyka 4mo agoI like the hardware, cannot stand needing to run another machine just for management.
- linohh 4mo agoIf you get one of the Cloud devices, you won't need to, as they bring their own.
- InTheArena 4mo agoSynology hardware stopped being decent a while ago.
- pinewurst 4mo agoPlus their drive type restrictions which are poison in a cost-sensitive NAS. (Seemingly rolled back recently, but a roll back can be easily rolled back itself. I don't trust them enough to count on that not happening.)
- lostlogin 4mo agoThe UDM runs mine, but prior to that I ran a Docker container with it. It worked well. https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/unifi-controller https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/unifi-controller
- _rs 4mo agoYou can't run UniFi Protect like this, only the network controller

- jon-wood 4mo agoUnifi gateways run the management software now, typically they'll also be your networks router and so something you'll need to buy anyway, but if you just want to use the security/wifi elements then you can either run it in a container or if you're really determined not to run a container and not to buy a router there's the CloudKey.
