[Step-By-Step Tutorial/Guide] Raspberry Pi with UniFi controller and Pi-hole from scratch (headl

[ramsesii]

I got a new Raspberry 3+ with a new microsd card and installed this 5.10.12 Stable and the updated Java.

I found this note from the release notes of 5.10.12:

"Cloud Access feature in this release is not supported on Linux/ARMv6 architecture (e.g. Raspberry Pi 1). "

I tried to set this new controller version to be accessible through my cloud account, and it did not work. It just said my login credentials are wrong, yet I know they work.

Is it really so that cloud access is not supported any more in this new version? That sucks.

used update script and it's up and running but notice a few I/O exception on startup:

I'll try it out myself tomorrow or on Saturday when I find the time to see what can be done.
I'll update the opening post with working commands (and without a link to an external guide).

I have updated the script, as well as the opening post with the commands to install 5.10.12.

I'll also try and see what exactly has to be done to upgrade from 5.9 with the old java version.
It'll probably come down to shutting off unifi, removing java, installing the new java, starting unifi again and upgrading it.

Or changing the java_path / default version to the latest version of java.

[SmokingCrop]

Updating your UniFi 5.9.29 controller to UniFi 5.10.12 if you used my tutorial before is as simple as executing the entire code below, make sure you have the entire thing.
This will update your java to the latest version available which is required for 5.10.X versions of the controller. So do not execute this code to upgrade your 5.10.X controller to an even newer version.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean;sudo systemctl stop unifi;sudo apt-get install dirmngr -y;sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com EEA14886;echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list;echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list;sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer -y;wget https://dl.ubnt.com/unifi/5.10.12/unifi_sysvinit_all.deb;sudo dpkg -i unifi_sysvinit_all.deb; sudo apt-get install -f -y

I've used it to update my own controller and it worked flawlessly.

If you are still having issues, I would suggest to start over & install with the script in the opening post, and use your backup of your UniFi controller to restore everything.

Didn't work for me. Still getting connection refused errors from java

 Can not connect to the controller

[petitpiton]

I've resolved mine now.
I had to purge the install of unifi, then reinstalled 5.9.29 and restored from backup. Then upgraded to 5.10 by sudo apt-get update / upgrade cycle.
I'm *guessing* the purge was required as I had already tried just reverting to 5.9.29 and re-upgrading.

[redman5087]

Reverted to previous version and restored backup and the old version is working.

Upgraded tot the latest via apt upgrade and then I can not connect tot the interface.

Didn't work

[SmokingCrop]

I find that trying upgrades and then reverting and then trying different things often fail.
If the process fails for me somehow, I just reinstall everything from scratch. Usually faster than dealing with weird problems.

You can use a 5.9.29 backup file to restore in 5.10.12 by the way.

[redman5087]

Reinstalled the whole sd card, it's working now....

Any fix for this? I removed and re installed Java and Unifi Controller but didn't work. But Unifi v5.9.29 works fine. Note I'm using RPI 3b+ and Raspbian.

[ahiguero]

tried to use  method "B" to upgrade as it wasthe same method that i use that to install it in the first place and i experienced the errors

tried updating using the script

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean;sudo systemctl stop unifi;sudo apt-get install dirmngr -y;sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com EEA14886;echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list;echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list;sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer -y;wget https://dl.ubnt.com/unifi/5.10.12/unifi_sysvinit_all.deb;sudo dpkg -i unifi_sysvinit_all.deb; sudo apt-get install -f -y

 and it worked

[jamestuke]

It seems a lot of us are having this problem with the exact same error message when you do a "sudo service unifi status". 5.9.29 works fine but 5.10.10 fails with java  connects even though I have supposedly upgraded it to V8. I'm hoping someone from Ubiquiti gets involved soon as it would be a pity to stay with 5.9.29 when the new version has so many nice new features and UI...

EDIT: Feb 10. Decided to try to reinitialise Raspberry Pi Raspian and start again. Ran Script above again which took some time. This time 5.10.12 started with the errors again but does actually appear to run properly. It remains to be seen if it lasts...

[tbiles]

Your instructions helped me with my Java issue.  Out of the box raspian installs openjdk 9 when you install unifi, so I had to remove it and install Oracle Java 8 according to your instructions.  However, java didn't seem to work correct after the install, but I found a message during the install process that said to install oracle-java8-set-default so running the command:

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default

seemed to fix it.  I could then install unifi through apt-get and it didn't install any new Java.  The software started successfully and I'm in business.

Thanks.

I did the same, but isn't working.

Fresh install, ran the script updated to work with 5.10.x, but same error....

Then I've ran the script again, but installed the 5.9.29 and this version is working.

RPi 3 here (Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2).

EDIT ------------

It's running, with the same warnnings, but running....

I did the same, but isn't working.

Fresh install, ran the script updated to work with 5.10.x, but same error....

Then I've ran the script again, but installed the 5.9.29 and this version is working.

RPi 3 here (Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2).

EDIT ------------

It's running, with the same warnnings, but running....

Those apache I/O Exceptions & Retrying requests are only cosmetic and they are working on it.

The Web-IF still does not work.

Same errors and Java updated to latest version and Web-IF still does not work.

Updating your UniFi 5.9.29 controller to UniFi 5.10.12 if you used my tutorial before is as simple as executing the entire code below, make sure you have the entire thing.
This will update your java to the latest version available which is required for 5.10.X versions of the controller. So do not execute this code to upgrade your 5.10.X controller to an even newer version.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean;sudo systemctl stop unifi;sudo apt-get install dirmngr -y;sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com EEA14886;echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list;echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list;sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer -y;wget https://dl.ubnt.com/unifi/5.10.12/unifi_sysvinit_all.deb;sudo dpkg -i unifi_sysvinit_all.deb; sudo apt-get install -f -y

I've used it to update my own controller and it worked flawlessly.

If you are still having issues, I would suggest to start over & install with the script in the opening post, and use your backup of your UniFi controller to restore everything.

Code worked without problems...thank you!
