A collection of things to enhance the capabilities of your Unifi Dream Machine, Dream Machine Pro or UXG-Pro.
If you want to do a custom kernel with wireguard support, multicast, multipath routing that is now a possiblity. Please see the repo and please use at your own risk. This a much larger change than anything in this repo.
All artifacts can be found on IPFS https://unifi.boostchicken.io
Extract the zip to the root of your device! Look at the assets on the Podman workflow.
Ui have stopped building the macvlan kernel module into the kernel for the UDR, which means containers cannot
have their own routable IPs out of the box. This module is being built and distributed separately, and can be found
at macvlan-unifi-udr.
Do this first. Enables init.d style scripts to run on every boot of your UDM.
Includes examples to run wpa-supplicant/eap-proxy and/or ntop-ng on startup.
Follow this readme.
It enables complete customization of your UDM/P and fills the gap that config.gateway.json left behind.
Updates Podman, conmon, and runc to a recent version. This allows docker-compose usage as well.
Apply this after on-boot-script. Updates container defaults to maintain stable disk usage footprint of custom containers. Prevents logs filling up UDM storage full.
If you need python3 on your UDM, generally not recommended, can always use it in unifi-os container.

Install a DNS server that functions as a network-wide ad and tracker blocker, and which can also securely proxy encrypted DNS requests to an upstream DNS provider. Begin by following the instructions to setup on-boot-script and dns-common. Then, follow the guides below to setup either Pi-Hole, NextDNS, or AdGuard Home.
Base configuration for DNS server containers, both IPv4 and IPv6. Utilizes MacVLAN CNI plugins to completely isolate the network stack.
Run NextDNS on your UDM with podman.
PiHole w/ DoH Image.
Run Pi-hole on your UDM with podman.
Also contains custom image for Pi-hole with cloudflared.

Working in the shell means that mistakes can happen. Deleted directories or packages may break the underlying software that makes your UDM-Pro SE function as designed. Thankfully, Unifi Support seems to have provided the following process to help bring your UDM back to the stock image.
- Remove the unit from your network and disconnect the cables from the unit.
- Press down the reset button for 40+ seconds without power and cables.
- Release the reset button and power the unit.
- Again press the reset button for 15+ seconds.
