I was able to SSH into mine and I'm running their Docker container with a Unifi Controller instead of a cloud key.
You don’t even need the controller to set them up anymore. You can run them as standalone APs by configuring with the app.
You miss out on a lot of features that way, but they work fine.
Oh for sure. I ran them without a controller for years. I only set it up to do a wireless bridge.
Yes, the Java app dockerized.
FWIW that java app isn’t much memory hungry and it's not cpu-intensive at all. There are no issues with running java apps at all if you spend 5 minutes figuring the basix flags on how to set the memory limits or run it in a memory-limited cgroup via some containers runtime.
I never claimed it was. But Java comes with its own baggage of Oracle shenanigans (they could start licensing drama with open source forks just like they did a few years ago) and java security patches means maintenance. All of which would be completely unnecessary if Ubiquity let you setup the AP with ssl.
The controller interface is amazing. But it, or a phone app should not be required to set up an AP.
If you were actually able to set it up via ssh, then you should be able to point me to the documentation for the Ubiquity AP cli.
I'm not sure if you are a fanboi or a shill but it is dishonest to claim that you say you could configure your Ubiquity AP when Ubiquity itself refuses to provide documentation of the cli interface.
Another poster said the same thing and linked to the same thread I found years ago which says in effect, "There is no official cli documentation for the APs. You might be able to sneak a few commands by digging through the forums."
I never said that.
I'm on Ubiquity's payroll, definitely. I'm expecting a check in the mail any day now.
