        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.

              I SSH'ed into the AP

              typed:
              mca-cli
              set-inform http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080/inform

              Then

              info

              I get "Unable to resolve (http://unifi:8080/inform)"

                    Question:

                    At a colo: I have a Cloud Key, I want to "move" the controller (off the CK) to a vm.
                    I've followed @JaredBusch install guide

                    What's the proper procedure to make this move in the right order?

                      1. Get everything on the same version
                      2. Make a backupmfrom the cloud key and download it.
                      3. Restore the backup to the VM.

                          Thinking out loud here...
                          This Controller vm is behind a firewall (aka Unifi USG4)...is that a good strategy?

                            As long as you open the ports needed it should not be an issue.

                                  To update the Cloud Controller to the latest version on debian, is it just another

                                  apt-get install unifi -y

                                    If you added the repo per this guide, then it should just be (sudo) apt update && (sudo) apt upgrade -y) like any other system update

                                        Had top reinstall the controler today; had to do the following before it would work:

                                        apt install apt-transport-https

                                          Because this is from the repo, I would submit a support email to Ubiqiuiti.

                                            I want to put this behind a nginx reverse proxy. Do you think I could use this?
