Running UniFi Controller on a Pine A64+ 1Gb board - ishwest - 12-29-2016

Hi all!

Pine64 is a very cost effective solution for running the UniFi Controller. The installation process is a bit tricky though. Hence sharing my experience: https://ishwestscriptwault.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/running-unifi-controller-5-on-pine64-en/

Enjoy!

Did you get the new 5.5.19 version running.
I'm stuck in the upgrade with constant error in the log wrt tomcat

No, not yet. I'll try upgrading controller some time next week. Will post in this thread.

I confirm the problem.
Controller fails before (or while?) converting the db from 5.4 to 5.5.

So a clean install might work.
I'll look into it further.

In the mean time I succeeded.
However was a big pain..

The upgrade always fails, the way I managed was to install the unifi controller Windows version, than use that to upgrade. Than transfer the upgraded file to a clean version on the pine

Thanks for the update!

This imho suggests that the migration process relies either on a native library or an external program that is missing.

Or it might be just a bug in the new controller version :-)

I was able to upgrade with a fresh install of 5.5.19.  The trick for me was to install the latest stable mongodb before attempting to upgrade.  The directions for installing mongodb on ubuntu are at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu.
