This took me a while to figure out. First, I learned I needed (re Mongo shell (mongosh) is missing. I built and installed databases/mongosh. Then I ran this command: [13:00 unifi01 dvl ~] % mongosh –port 27117 Current Mongosh Log ID: 686138ea47e9a86d2a5e3cea Connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:27117/?directConnection=true&serverSelectionTimeoutMS=2000&appName=mongosh+2.3.8 Using MongoDB: 7.0.21 Using Mongosh: 2.3.8 For mongosh info see: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongodb-shell/ To help improve our products, anonymous usage data is collected and sent to MongoDB periodically (https://www.mongodb.com/legal/privacy-policy).

Monitor your backups

Leave a Comment / FreeBSD, Jails, Open Source, Unifi / By /

It’s good to do automated backups. When you do that, add monitoring to make sure the backups are occurring successfully. In my case, I backup using Bacula. Each job creates a new .bsr file. I copy these files to another location each day. Then I monitor the dates on those files and they should all be less then a day or so old. Edit (added 2023-08-29) This post is about upgrading net-mgmt/unifi6 to

Ideas about moving the rack two floors down to the basement

Leave a Comment / hardware, racks, Unifi / By /

This is a work in progress. As I make more decisions and receive additional suggestions/advice, I will update this page. I live in an apartment. The Verizon FiOS ONT is outside on the ground floor. I live two floors up. I am considering moving the rack from the bedroom to 7x12ft locked room in the basement. It would share space with my washer and dryer (which is vented to the outside). Why? noise

UAP-AC-PRO: setting the management VLAN on a Unifi AP

Leave a Comment / hardware, Unifi / By /

I have two Unifi WAPs at home. I’ve installed them at three other locations. They are a great product. One problem I had was getting the management interface set. By that, I mean the IP address of the unit. I wanted it to be in a specific range, and therefore it had to be in a specific VLAN. However, I wanted the WIFI traffic to be in a different VLAN. It is not

Getting into the CLI for a Unifi switch

7 Comments / hardware, Unifi / By /

I’m writing this down so I can find it later. The management IP address on my Unifi US-16-XG is wrong. I’m going to change it via a combination of the controller and the CLI. Let’s hope this works. Hope? Why hope? Unifi switches are designed to be managed via the webgui (i.e. their controller). I’m sure this will also work on my US-48 switch too. Get connected and get in I’ve done this
