This playbook installs an UniFi Controller on Arch Linux. It's achieved by downloading the Debian package, extracting it and do a few Arch Linux specific changes. A systemd unit file (unifi.service) is also included.
As a litte bonus you are able to generate a key store out of an existing private/public key if you want to have proper HTTPS/TLS.
| Variable | Explanation | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| unifi_version | Which version to install | 5.5.20 |
| unifi_temp_path | Where to unpack the debian package and so on | /usr/share/unifi-temp |
| unifi_generate_keystore | Should a key store be generated | false |
| unifi_keystore_private_key | (Local) location of the private key for the keystore | private.pem |
| unifi_keystore_cert | (Local) location of the certificate for the key store | public.pem |
| unifi_keystore_ca | (Local) location of the CA Certificate(s) for the key store | ca.pem |
The unifi_keystore_* variables are only used when unifi_generate_keystore is set to true
Updating the WebGui with this role should be no problem. However, this is not fully tested. Sorry :-)
Use Vagrant to spin up a local Arch Linux virtual machine. A Vagrantfile is provided.
Example:
:~$ vagrant up
<vagrant working. Wait until you get the bash prompt back>
:~$ ansible-playbook -i testinventory deploy-unifi.yml
After the playbook is finished you should be able to access the UniFi Web GUI unter https://127.0.0.1:8443
