Is there an alternative to unifi that is Podman or Docker compatible/available and better than the old site manager?

I can confirm that it works and is being updated regularly. It just shows this nasty nag screen to downgrade to the "server" stuff.

Have I not seen this because I'm using a fixed tag from sometime in 2024?

This reminds me it's probably a good idea to setup a local container registry along with the services I run so I can keep access to the images long-term.

What is that tag you are using?

I just noticed it today logging in from a phone.

I know what kind of man you are

I use this and didn’t even know there’s something new out there — so thanks for the heads up.

[–] Raptor_007@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Same, been using this one a few years with no issues.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. That's what I'm using too.

No, also the unifi controller using docker/podman is coming to a end. As they are moving to "unifi OS" unfortunately. So you need to run a full blown VM to use it in the future...

Yeah, this is what led me to convert my APs to openwrt

[–] dai@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I only have one UBI AP that was swiftly flashed to openwrt watching the shitshow unfold during CV19. I stepped up to a product manager role for a computer component store, took on lots of brands UBI included.

I didn't get the hype behind UBI but they sold well and kept my KPIs on track, but working with / being an enthusiast I guess gave me a different perspective from old Joe down the road.

They are set-and-forget, and no network engineers like tuning WiFi. I think the value is in not having to touch it.

[–] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago

Do they plan on moving Unifi OS beyond just network? Because we run Access, Protect, Connect and InnerSpace, too.. Would be nice to have a PC setup as a controller for the cost of their Dream Machine Pro Max etc.
