      @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

                              Also your Vultr firewall should have the following ports open:

                              0_1513547681500_8AAAF992-723F-4BF9-8773-7DA26BB00399.jpeg

                                        Thought I was okay, but can't log in using http, just https.

                                        It's causing a problem when I try to set the AP's to look to the vultr IP for the controller.

                                          Thought I was okay, but can't log in using http, just https.

                                          It's causing a problem when I try to set the AP's to look to the vultr IP for the controller.

                                          You only login through https, your manually register the APs via port 8080.
