Installing Ubiquiti UNIFI controller as a Proxmox VE LXC Container

This guide will help you Install a Ubiquiti UNIFI controller as a Proxmox LXC Container.

There are many benefits of having an always ONLINE Unifi controller, one of them that I am interested in is the Hot Spot / Captive Portal landing page customization.

Since I already have a Proxmox VE server running, I thought this will be the best method for me to have a Ubiquiti Unifi controller 24/7.

STEP 1 - Download Template for Ubuntu 18.04

Go to your Proxmox VE, go to your storage, and make sure you have downloaded a template for Ubuntu 18.04 Standard

STEP 2 - Create the LXC Container

Create an LXC container using the following settings:
Hostname: unifi
Disk size: 32GB
Memory: 2GB (but 1GB is also okay)
Network:  192.168.8.4/24

STEP 3 - Login to your container and Update APT

sudo apt update

STEP 4 - Installing CA Certificates

sudo apt-get install ca-certificates wget -y

STEP 5 - Download installation script
