Ubiqiti Network's Unifi Controller

This is a helm chart for Ubiqiti Network's Unifi Controller

TL;DR;

helm install stable/unifi

Introduction

This code is adopted from this original repo

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

helm install --name my-release stable/unifi

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:

helm delete my-release --purge

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

helm install --name my-release \
  --set timezone="America/New York" \
    stable/unifi

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/unifi

Read through the values.yaml file. It has several commented out suggested values.

Regarding the services

• guiService: represents the main web UI and is what one would normally point the ingress to
• controllerService: This is needed in order for the unifi devices to talk to the controller and must be otherwise exposed to the network where the unifi devices run. If you run this as a NodePort (the default setting), make sure that there is an external loadbalancer that is directing traffic from port 8080 to the NodePort for this service
• discoveryService: This needs to be reachable by the unifi devices on the network similar to the controllerService but only during the discovery phase. This is a UDP service
• stunService: Also used periodically by the unifi devices to communicate with the controller using UDP. See this article and this other article for more information
