This is a reverse engineering project that is based on browser captures, jar dumps, and reviewing other software that has been written to work with the controller. You may want to fine tune some settings on the UCK (Manage Cloud Key) like the timezone or the device name.Documentation of API endpoints on the UniFi controller software. Everything should be setup on the new UniFi Controller running on the UniFi Cloud Key Gen.2. Re-enable remote access and Ubiquiti SSO: Enable remote access and Ubiquiti SSO Especially when you created a new Ubiquiti account for the UCK setup. Otherwise you need to re-enable to remote access and SSO to be able to login with the Ubiquiti account. If you had already an Ubiquiti account and enabled the remote access and SSO prior to the move, you won't need to do anything here. Step 6: Re-enable cloud access and SSO (when overridden by UC backup restore) Import UC settings only backup file into the new UC running on the UCK: Restore backup file on the UniFi Controller running on the UCK restore the backup on the new UniFi Controller.
UNIFI CONTROLLER CLOUD ACCESS UPDATE
Optional sub step - Update the UCK IPv4 address:įinally import e.g. So I stopped the old UC and updated the IPv4 of the new UCK to be the same as for the old UniFi Controller. In my case, I wanted to have the new UCK using the same static IPv4 as the old UniFi Controller. You should now stop the old UniFi Controller. Step 5: Stop the old UniFi Controller and import backup file to the new UC on the UCK Or you can navigate to Settings -> System Settings -> Maintenance -> Update to update. Now login to the UniFi Controller on the UCK and update to the latest version: Step 4: Update UniFi Controller on the UCK Login page when connecting to UCK using IPv4 address in your BrowserĬlick on Manage Cloud Key and update the firmware: Update Firmware on the UCK
Manage Cloud Key: for managing the UCK itself.You will see at least 2 different login buttons: Open your Browser and enter the IPv4 address shown on the small display of the UCK device.

You may have to create a Ubiquiti Account here first. The UCK should be automatically detected by the UniFi Network app Setup UniFi Cloud Key Gen.2 using the UniFi Network appĬaution: I already have a Ubiquiti Account configured in my mobile app. Setup UniFi Cloud Key Gen.2 using the UniFi Network app: If you don't have already downloaded the UniFi Network App, you can use one of these links: To setup the UniFi Cloud Key you need to have the UniFi Network app installed on your mobile device. Step 2: Setup the UniFi Cloud Key Gen.2 using the UniFi Network app Step 1: Create a "settings only" backup of the existing UniFi Controller Create a "settings only" backup of the existing UniFi Controller I'll explain all the steps i did in this blog article. I finally bought a UniFi Cloud Key Gen.2 (UCK) and will now move my existing UniFi Controller (running on a Ubuntu LXC container) to the new UCK.
