How to Install Unifi Controller on Ubuntu

How to Install Unifi controller on ubuntu

1. Installing mongodb

To use the packages, add a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list, then 'aptitude update' and one of 'aptitude install mongodb-10gen', 'aptitude install mongodb-10gen-unstable' . Make sure you add the 10gen GPG key, or apt will disable the repository (apt uses encryption keys to verify the repository is trusted and disables untrusted ones). To add the GPG key, run this command:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10

Then, if you're on a Debianoid with SysV style init scripts (e.g., Debian Lenny or older Ubuntus), add this line verbatim to your /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/debian-sysvinit dist 10gen

If you're on a Debianoid with Upstart (e.g., recent Ubuntus), use this line in your sources.list:

deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart dist 10gen GPG Key

The public gpg key used for signing these packages follows. It should be possible to import the key into apt's public keyring with a command like this:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10

Configuration

To configure these packages beyond the defaults, have a look at /etc/mongodb.conf, and/or the initialization script, (/etc/init.d/mongodb on older, non-Upstart systems, /etc/init/mongodb.conf on Upstart systems). Most MongoDB operational settings are in /etc/mongodb.conf; a few other settings are in the initialization script. Note that if you customize the userid in the initialization script or the dbpath or logpath settings in /etc/mongodb.conf, you must ensure that the directories and files you use are writable by the userid you run the server as.
