UDM Podman UDM-Pro-SE Podman

Branches

  1. 1.12.x - Support for 1.x.x firmware line
  2. main - Support for 2.4.x and above

Current Branch is main, supporting UniFi OS 2.5.x

A collection of things to enhance the capabilities of your Unifi Dream Machine, Dream Machine Pro or UXG-Pro.

⚠️ Breaking Changes for UniFi OS 3.x

UniFi OS 3.x no longer supports podman. The utilities in this respository may not work as documented. For alternatives, review the documentation in nspawn-container or consider direct installations like wpa_supplicant-UniFi-OS-3.x for AT&T Fiber.


Custom Kernel

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.

udm-kernel-tools

Custom Podman Builds for UDM-SE

All artifacts can be found on IPFS

IPFS Gateway Cloudflare

Extract the zip to the root of your device! Look at the assets on the Podman workflow.

UDM Base

Standard Image for base UDM, systemd removed

UDM Pro / SE

Base build with apparmor, systemd, devicemapper removal, and overlay kept

Works on PRO on 2.x, for 1.x use the UDM Base still.

Does not work on 3.x use nspawn-container

macvlan kernel module for UDR

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.

General Tools

on-boot-script-2.x

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.

nspawn-container

Enables containers on UniFiOS 3.x, this replaces podman.

podman-update

Updates Podman, conmon, and runc to a recent version.This allows docker-compose usage as well.

Works on PRO on 2.x, for 1.x use the UDM Base still.

Does not working on 3.x use nspawn-container

container-common

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.

python

If you need python3 on your UDM, generally not recommended, can always use it in unifi-os container.

VPN Servers / Clients

Name URL Description
wireguard-go Run a Wireguard client/server
WireGuard kernel module https://github.com/tusc/wireguard-kmod Uses a prebuilt linux kernel module, without the need to move to a custom kernel.
OpenConnect VPN https://github.com/shuguet/openconnect-udm OpenConnect VPN Client for the UniFi Dream Machine Pro (Unofficial).
split-vpn https://github.com/peacey/split-vpn A split tunnel VPN script for the UDM with policy based routing. This helper script can be used on your UDM to route select VLANs, clients, or even domains through a VPN connection. It supports OpenVPN, WireGuard, and OpenConnect (Cisco AnyConnect) clients running directly on your UDM, and external VPN clients running on other servers on your network.
Zerotier https://zerotier.com ZeroTier provides network control and P2P functionality · Use ZeroTier to create products which run on their own decentralized networks

DNS Providers

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.

dns-common

Base configuration for DNS server containers, both IPv4 and IPv6. Utilizes MacVLAN CNI plugins to completely isolate the network stack.

nextdns

Run NextDNS on your UDM with podman.

run-pihole

!Docker Pulls

PiHole w/ DoH Image. Run Pi-hole on your UDM with podman. Also contains custom image for Pi-hole with cloudflared.

PiHole with DoTe

!Docker Pulls

Designed by: https://github.com/chrisstaite/DoTe/

Alternative to mine which uses DoTe

AdguardHome

Run AdguardHome on your UDM with podman.

Cloudflare DDNS

Cloudflare

Update your cloudflare domains from your UDM with podman.

Unsupported / No longer maintained

Name URL Description
suricata Updates suricata to a recent version. Now in firmware
Jumbo Frames https://github.com/kalenarndt/udmp-jumbo-frames native jumbo frame support for the UDM and UDM-Pro is added in the 1.12.13 EA firmware, support for the UDM-SE is not yet announced.

Reimaging your UDM

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.

  1. Remove the unit from your network and disconnect the cables from the unit.
  2. Press down the reset button for 40+ seconds without power and cables.
  3. Release the reset button and power the unit.
  4. Again press the reset button for 15+ seconds.

Thanks to user cfallwell for describing this fix here.
