  1. Argh, looks like the end of my current UniFi Network Controller running on #NixOS is now close to inevitable.

    They only support now running a full VM appliance - the so-called "UniFi OS Server" for self-hosters instead of just the actual network controller service as standalone component within an existing system.

    I feel zero motivation to spin up a VM somewhere for this kind of mutable workloads that elude sane NixOS-based management methods.

  2. A todos mis miles de seguidores: sabed que me han incluido en el selecto club de los "Prosumers". Y no, no ha sido por mis fantásticas selecciones de bollería y repostería varía. Ha sido por tener un Router y un AP de Unifi...

  4. I suspect a secondary problem is that the UniFi in-wall units overheat. The dropout problem has been very bad this summer. It also seems to correspond to some of the warmest days. The UAP-U6IW dropped off for more than 24 hours over the weekend and was crazy hot when I finally got around to pulling it off the wall. I need to find a better way to monitor this, as I don’t see this info in the controller.

  5. The logs on the affected APs still indicate a DNS resolution problem for the Inform URL. So, I overrode the Inform URL with the IP address of the controller. This also did not eliminate the problem.

  6. I found that I had fewer dropouts of my UniFi in-wall APs, but this did not eliminate the problem.

  7. I recently replaced Pfsense with Opnsense for two main reasons. I had wanted to try out and compare Opnsense. I was also hoping the different integration of DHCP leases with the local Unbound DNS would help my maddening UniFi AP dropout problem, since that seemed to hinge on DNS resolution of the UniFi Inform URL.

  8. Since the two disconnected again, I tried more stuff.

    - unplugged the APs
    - tested and verified cables and switch settings
    - changed another device on our home network so that 192.168.1.20 (#UAP default IP) was no longer in use
    - bound proxy in front of container to an IP address and route
    - ran “set-inform” twice with known good controller address, as apparently two inform addresses are stored by each AP.
