Why is this on Fedora? There are zero benefits to this.
Migrate your install to Debian, or even Ubuntu if you hate yourself.
I run Fedora or Windows. I'm not going to get into multi-distros... I have no need or desire.
That's not very logical. You have "no need or desire" for things to be simple? Saying you have no need or desire, on a thread of issues caused by it, doesn't add up.
It's fine to be passionate about homogenous deployments, but lacking desire makes no sense, and the "need" is to make your life easier.
Ask yourself... what purpose is the "single distro" requirement serving given that it doesn't make things easier, but rather harder?

Nothing wrong with having your go-to distro. But you should have an alternative distro for situations like this.

I definitely wouldn't call this a go-to distro situation since it's pretty much Ubuntu or debian as JB said. This is more the - choose what the vendor supports situation.

It's more an "order of precedence" and you normally take the first one from your list that is considered first class by the app you are trying to deploy.

Umm, Fedora is his go to distro. That has nothing to do with the vendor.
But blindly staying with something like has been stated, is just silly.

I won't sit here and dispute the
right tool for the taskmentality. There is always the 'case' of yes you can do it that way, but it's not recommended. I can use a pair of channel locks to turn a bolt, but likely it'll get chewed up. Yes - it WILL work.. but it's not the RIGHT tool for the task.Anyway - likely will just burn Fedora on a box and load Ubuntu, and determine my reshuffle later... The whole point for some of this was to reduce the PC systems. The only desktop suitable for VM is still rebooting on me,.. so it's slated for a full rebuild / replacement.

If you really wanted it to be setup as a service, take a look here:

Just do LXC or Docker/Podman. You don't need a full VM for it.

Ubuntu Server 16.04
Controller is up as a sigh VM.Whole point of getting it off a VM is that the VM host hardware is sketchy... but alas... I did it anyway.
Now,... dang it... the password I have isn't working, and the Mongo recovery isn't working. - new thread.

Ubuntu 16.04? WTF? Why not 18.04 or 18.10 (is it out, i lose track because will Ubuntu...)?
Also I know everything works perfect on Debian 9. I have a guide here for it even.

Because 16.04 is what Unifi states to use still.

Back to basics. Why are you trying to do this? Are you needing to change your WiFi right now?
If not, just delete it all and worry about it later. UniFi hardware does not have to check in to a controller to function.
Get your other stuff stable, then spin this up.

Follow up, controller is running again under Win10.
I’ll address a Linux system in the future at some point and move over so it can run full time.
