      Now that the controller has taken over I lost my second WAN port. Christ...

      Dual WAN? I would never even attempt to use a USG in that scenario. Not even sure it can.

        Second LAN port, typo...

        I was using the lan/wan as a second port and once provisioning USG decided it would be disabled.

          When I run this command

          apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 06E85760C0A52C50
          

          I get this message:-

            Maybe should add installing on Debian9 (followed Jared's guide) on internal VM internally.

              Did you run this as root or use sudo?

                  SSH into my server via putty. Logged in as the user unifi01 when at the prompt did the

                  su -
                  

                  ran all the commands above but had the error on the key import.

                  I'll try running direct on the VM console.

                      Very odd as it works jsut fine for me even with sudo.

                        @hobbit666 let me blow this system back to snapshot and do it again.

                        Side note: I said to su - to root because you cannot cat the apt list file from sudo and there are so few commands to set this up. Technically it can all be done from your user with sudo if you use nano or vi to create the list file.

                            When using Vultr is it just https://unifi.hostname.vultr.com:8443 ?

                              If you have a vultr hostname then yes, otherwise you create a DNS record pointing to your Vultr WAN IP.

                                Ok, in the meantime I'm trying https://unifi.xx.xx.xx.xx:8443 and not getting anything. Shouldn't that work?

                                  It should as long as Unifi service is started, ports listening internally and Vultr fireewall allowing it.

                                    What is the result of the following:

                                    Service unifi status

                                            netstat -ano | grep listening

                                            No output from that command.
