I saw the latest short circuit video titled "I get giddy just looking at it - Ubiquiti Cloud Key Enterprise." I remembered TrueNAS Scale offers an app called Unifi. Would anyone have tried this before? I’d love to see Jake from LMG, ServerTheHome, or Level1Techs create a video about it. I haven’t deployed the app yet since I can’t afford the equipment.

Follow instructions carefully; this feature has been accessible for some time. For on-site control, you didn’t actually require a CloudKey initially. Likely, the CK provides remote access through Ubiquiti’s servers.

I tested the controller directly on bare-metal for my nanoHD. It’s way too much unless you have a lot of Ubiquiti networking gear. Because it’s Java-based, it used up a lot of RAM and CPU. The trade-off shows clear advantages for big enterprises, but I think sticking to one vendor as a home user is risky. You lose the ability to pick the best hardware at the best price.

It seems the latest updates might not be visible at the moment, though I recall the early days of Ubiquiti gear and the quirky Java-based terminology. The sleek Unifi network diagrams still stand out to me.

Of course, opting for .deb over a more general format like Flatpak can feel unnecessary at first.
