UniFi OS Server

Joel Goudswaard edited this page Aug 13, 2026 · 1 revision

If you're using UniFi Wi-Fi access points, you can run Ubiquiti's UniFi OS Server on the same Raspberry Pi (or another machine) to adopt and manage them locally. It's independent of SCCS — only set it up if you actually have UniFi hardware.

Install

  1. Open the UniFi software download page, right-click the Linux arm64 download link, and copy the URL.

  2. Download:

wget -O unifiosinstaller [PASTE THE COPIED LINK HERE]
  1. Install Podman (container runtime the installer uses):
sudo apt update
sudo apt install podman
  1. Run the installer:
sudo chmod +x unifiosinstaller
sudo ./unifiosinstaller
  1. Grant your user admin rights for the server:
sudo usermod -aG uosserver "$USER"

Log out and back in if group membership does not apply immediately.

Open the UI at https://10.10.10.1:11443. First visit may need you to accept a self-signed certificate warning in the browser.
