Unifi controller upgrade linux

UniFi — Как с помощью APT установить или обновить UniFi в Debian/Ubuntu

В данной статье приведен список файлов с исходными кодами, которые необходимо создать, а также строки, файла sources.list, которые можно использовать для установки и обновления UniFi на системе с Debian или Ubuntu с помощью APT. Описанный метод является стандартным методом установки и обновления пакетов в этих ОС. Предполагается, что содержание размещенных в нашем хранилище файлов статей меняться не будет, однако если изменения все-таки будут внесены, об этом будет сообщено в распространяемых электронными способами сообщениях. Это касается и данной статьи.

Как с помощью APT установить или обновить контроллер UniFi

Добавьте файл /etc/apt/sources.list.d/100-ubnt.list (или отредактируйте файл /etc/apt/sources.list). Параметр ‘stable’ в исходном коде является плавающим. Если требуется оставить какую-либо ветку свободной, укажите ее в строке исходного кода (например, для UniFi v5 в исходном коде используйте ‘unifi5’ и т. д.).

Добавьте ключи GPG:

# для Ubiquiti sudo apt-key adv —keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com —recv C0A52C50 # или по HTTP, используя hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80

Обновление, установка или модификация контроллера:

# восстановление последней информации пакета sudo apt-get update # установка/обновление контроллера unifi sudo apt-get install unifi

(Опция) Данный шаг может и не потребоваться (зависит от использованного дистрибутива Linux). Если в дистрибутиве отсутствует MongoDB и в хранилище файлов, откуда был взят дистрибутив, этот компонент недоступен, см. руководство по установке MongoDB. Самую новую версию руководства по установке Ubuntu см. ЗДЕСЬ , а Debian ЗДЕСЬ . Mongo 3 может работать ненадежно с функцией резервного копирования UniFi, не забудьте об этом, когда будете обновлять Mongo. В настоящее время предпочтительнее использовать Mongo 2.

Прямого доступа к хранилищу файлов (а также к спискам его файлов) не предоставляется. Если Вы попытаетесь напрямую открыть папку, то будет выдано сообщение 403 о том, что доступ запрещен.

Upgrade Ubiquiti UniFi on Ubuntu 19.04

UniFi Controller 5.10.x with Dark Mode

I have upgraded my automation server to Ubuntu 19.04 a few months ago, and this time decided to use the excellent UniFi upgrade script by Glenn R to update UniFi controller version from 5.9.x to 5.10.x

Download the Installation Script

As always, the process is very simple: you visit the UniFi installation scripts page by Glenn R and download the install script with desired UniFi version – 5.10.x is the current stable release so that’s what I did.

The script may offer to download another script, for Easy Update (if you already have UniFi controller software installed) and then ask you to select if you’re upgrading just the controller, or UniFi controller plus all the Ubiquiti devices it manges, or even upgrade the OS. I only upgraded controller.

You get to choose the release version for your upgrade:

UniFi Upgrade — Choose Version

I also got a warning about upgrading controller without firmware on all the managed devices:

UniFi Controller Upgrade — Firmware Warning

My versions of USG and access points are above these (rather old) required versions, so it was okay for me to proceed.

After about 5 min of working, the script confirmed a success:

UniFi Controller Upgrade — Success

Thank you, Glenn! 🙂

Log into Upgraded UniFi Controller

Browsing to the port 8443 on the automation server, I could see the login page immediately confirming freshly upgraded UniFi version:

UniFi Controller Login Screen

… and after the login there’s now a great feature explanation section, showing you what new greatness is available with the most recent update:

UniFi Upgrade — Welcome

Can’t believe how Dark Mode is a seriously new release worthy feature in most software news lately!

I’m very happy with the upgrade scripts and can totally recommend them. Don’t forget I also have a post on installing UniFi controller on Ubuntu 18.10.

my notes

Обновление контроллера UniFi на Debian

Обновление UniFi controller c версии 5.0.7 до версии 5.3.11.0.

2017-02-01
Debian 7.11

Прошло без проблем.

Плюсы:
– Решилась проблема с Картой и размещением на ней AP.

Обновление UniFi controller c версии 3.2.5 до версии 5.0.7.

Прошло без проблем.

GUI обновилось успешно.
Статистика где-то потерялась.
Точки все видны. Статус NEEDS UPGRADE
Решил использовать – Rolling upgrade.
Процесс начался хорошо:

Закончился плохо:

Точки в статусе DISCONNCTED пингуются. Предполагаю что работают со старой конфигурацией.
Обновление через CONSTUM UPGRADE не выполняется.

По прибытию на место выяснилось:
Точки не отдают Wifi. Световая индикация отсутствует.
Сделали:
Отключили/включили точку на коммутаторе (POE).
Точки стали видны в Контроллере со старой конфигурацией.
Выполнили UPGRADE каждой точки индивидуально – все заработало!

Вывод: ROLLING UPDATE – не применяем более.

Обновление UniFi controller c версии 3.1.9 до версии 3.2.5.

Debian
Обновление репозитариев

Обновление старой UniFi или установка новой версии.

Thanks for this — got me pointed in the right direction with install — had to edit JRE path before unifi service successfully launched — see here:

chucklebrother commented Jun 15, 2020 •

no jre8 installed, not sure I liked the idea of messing with the init script as per goldengit’s instructions especial as the init script seemed aware of the architectural path names that the linked post addresses.

Given that the init script seems aware that it needs to specify architecture, and seem fairly specific about wanting java 8 I thought I’d run:

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

This seems to have worked and I got the unifi controller landing page and successfully imported my backup from the controller on my previous server.

Just posting to preserve my findings for posterity, maybe someone with similar issues will find this.
Ubuntu 20.04. Got it working by changing the init-scripts as stated above. Stopped working after reboot. Server only binds ipv6, and db stopping.

Fixes:
Add to init string:

Also, /usr/lib/unifi/run is linked and gets broken after reboot. I just created it as a directory in place. You could off course just re-link it proper.

I have to run:
sudo java -jar /usr/lib/unifi/lib/ace.jar discover

In order to get the service to even start up
( To get the system.properties file to generate )
Otherwise it errors out saying «file or folder not found» in the log for the Unifi Service
Just though I would post this.

Otherwise all the other steps work as posted.

So here is my setup process:

Hi guys, can you please explain how to update the Unifi controller on Ubuntu 20.04, when Unifi will release new versions of the controller in the future.

davecoutts commented Feb 13, 2021

Once the Unifi controller is installed it is simply a matter of executing the commands ,

When you run the apt update command you will see that the latest Unifi https://dl.ubnt.com/unifi/debian repository package list is downloaded.
If Unifi have released a new version and placed it in their repository, the apt upgrade command will download and install it.

Yes I do see that error.
These errors first appeared after I upgraded from version 6.0.45 to 6.1.71, which I did today.
I checked the unifi log history with journalctl -u unifi.service —no-pager to confirm this.

In my case the Unifi Controller is still running normally, even with the new set of errors.

With a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install, the script worked to install UniFi 6.1.71-15061-1, except the web interface wouldn’t start, and this message was reported by systemctl status:

unifi[36574]: WARN Unable to load properties from ‘/usr/lib/unifi/data/system.properties’ — /usr/lib/unifi/data/system.properties (No such file or directory)

Checking the permissions on /usr/lib/unifi showed that everything was owned root:root, while all processes were running under user unifi. Running chown -R unifi:unifi /usr/lib/unifi allowed the service to restart successfully.

unifi[36574]: WARN Unable to load properties from ‘/usr/lib/unifi/data/system.properties’ — /usr/lib/unifi/data/system.properties (No such file or directory)

Checking the permissions on /usr/lib/unifi showed that everything was owned root:root, while all processes were running under user unifi. Running chown -R unifi:unifi /usr/lib/unifi allowed the service to restart successfully.

I believe the /usr/lib/unifi/data/system.properties (No such file or directory) error only occurs the first time the unifi application starts, following the installation.
I don’t know the unifi application post installation initialisation process, but it could be that the system.properties file needs time to be generated.

If you check soon after application start, you will see the system.properties file in directory /var/lib/unifi , which is soft linked from /usr/lib/unifi/data .

I don’t believe you need to change the ownership of /usr/lib/unifi .
To check this you could try restarting the unifi application without changing the /usr/lib/unifi directory ownership, and see if the system.properties error reoccurs. In my case I didn’t see the system.properties error on restarting the unifi application.

Just wanna thanks for your guide. Had some problems installing on Ubuntu 21.04 and switch to my Raspberry4 with Raspberry PI OS lite. Had to install ufw and open port 8443/tcp. Don’t know if the last step was really necessary but it worked. Maybe I was too stupid and mixed up the IP. Now everything works like charm.

I got the Unifi application running. I uninstalled the Unifi application. Then I ran the script found HERE.

Be sure you are running the latest script. You have to scroll down and copy the link from further down in the post. Below is the command you need to run. Refer to the post linked above for the most current information.

apt-get update; apt-get install ca-certificates wget -y
wget https://get.glennr.nl/unifi/install/unifi-6.4.54.sh
