Definitive Guide to Hosted UniFi 2021

20.04? Nope.

@JaredBusch I do really hate that, but I chalk it up to catering to the lowest common denominator. The average bad shop is going to promote internal use of LTS and Ubuntu helps to get market share by doing that. All the experts know to get the current releases so other than a few random people who don't pay attention it doesn't really cause problems.

Except that all the developers only target their systems to these releases. It is a cycle of stupidity.
Perpetuated by people like Chris.

Sure, but they were doing that crap without Ubuntu creating the problem. RHEL/CentOS vs Fedora does the same crap.

I 100% agree, and once I realized what a disaster CentOS was I stopped using it years ago also.
I stick with Fedora or Debian unless the application forces me to do otherwise.

Ubiquiti themselves recommends it, so you can't really blame Chris for this:

I don't see that recommendation on that page. Where do you see them mentioning the Ubuntu version other than "16.04 or better"?

Nice, they have the Unifi SSL too with Let'S Encrypt. I also submitted an update for the now defunct Unifi NVR to have an SSL as well with a modified script of this to their git. That's cool.

Among the reasons I do not use Ubuntu....
https://ubuntu.com/download/server
Alternate? WTF.
They also position Ubuntu Desktop LTS above the latest version too.
-
Yeah I never understood why they would put the LTS version ahead of the current distro. I've just always bypassed LTS.

Which gets super weird. Server I can almost understand, almost. But desktop? WTF
