How to setup the Ubiquiti Unifi Controller on Fedora & EL

Install MongoDB

Since MongoDB was removed from Fedora[1] it must be installed separately. The EL7 community package[1] from MongoDB works on Fedora as well.

# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=unifi

To permit Cloud Access:

# firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=unifi-cloud

Then reload the configuration:

# firewall-cmd --reload

Enabling and starting the unifi service:

# systemctl enable unifi.service
# systemctl start unifi.service

Afterwards you should be able to browse to the controller at:

https://<host>:8443
