Unifi Controller on Ubuntu 20.04 (Easy Installation Script)

NOTE: Before running or executing any file please read and understand what it is going to do.
It’s also a good idea to not use root when possible.

You can find the script by Gleen R. here.

Follow the rest of the on screen instructions or restore the controller from a previous backup .unf file.

NOTE: This installation media is a minimal install of Ubuntu which means their is no graphical user interface. Everything must be done on the command line unless you were to install the GUI yourself.
Minimal installations are better for a server in the sense that their are less packages to be installed and less services needed to run. This makes the instance more secure, faster and less need for resource overhead. All of this will depend on what services the server is to provide though.

Create a repository name and give it a description.
Set the repository for public view or private where you can control who sees the repository.
You can select to auto generate a README file for general information about the repository.
You can choose to add a .gitignore which will omit tracking.
You can also give permissions VIA licensing.

Once the repository is created you can hop over to the terminal and follow the same syntax to initialize and push your files to the Github repository.
