you are correct, you can just run the app when you need to make changes. i only do the docker crap because i'm a huge dweeb

oh goddammit lol i thought it was linux-only or something like that

yeah idk then, as long a it's multiplatform then for me there's not a huge difference between phone app/web app/native app

i mean im still not gonna go out and buy ubiquiti poo poo cause the thing im not messing with is workin, but if it stops workin when i move then yeah, that's on the table if i need an upgrade. thanks!

wait im lookin at https://www.ui.com/download/unifi/default/default/unifi-network-application-6454-macos

and it looks like you can just download the app for mac and windows and stuff and dont have to run a weirdo daemon or use docker. am i missing something? maybe it's an installer package that sets up your laptop with a lovely daemon rather than just being a client app?

a subset of features requires persistence, otherwise you may just use the regular desktop application to handle the regular configuration

it needs a jvm installed to work and only oracle java or corretto work without some fuckery, otherwise it's fine and like a five minute install on windows. it doesn't run as a service though, you can make it run as a service, but it's not the default and the upgrade process is a bit different if it's running as a service. so you have to manually launch the controller if you have the default install and you want to use the management interface.

yes, with some fuckery to get it to do so, hence why i specified that it works with oracle java and corretto without fuckery, because the conversation was about it being simple or complicated to set up and run. and AJ was talking about running the controller on windows specifically

which bit of that gist is the “fuckery”? barely any of it is even java related. it appears to install openjdk 8 and then set the standard java_home environment variable?

yeah it is about as difficult to launch as any other software written in java, the “fuckery” here is having to use a computer after 9/11

well, for example, on windows, as of a few months ago, it was not a matter of just setting the java_home variable on openjdk. but also, even having to set the java_home variable, and having to update that every time you update the jdk or it will break, i guess, since the whole conversation has been about not having to janitor things.

i was specifically referring to the windows installation of it, not realizing that jones was thinking of macos. of course if you're using linux you can expect to have to manually set path variables and whatever else, you're already janitoring things anyway, and you probably don't care if you also have to janitor the unifi control server

it's more people say "i won't use it and this is why" and then folks tell them that they're wrong for that being the reason or how they get around the pain in the rear end or what benefits offset the PITA for them

some people call this "conversation" and consider it a good thing!

for my part i learned more about ubiquiti stuff so i'm glad for the discussion. sounds like it's kind of a tire fire if i have to dick with JVM settings to run a client app but at least now i know the docker stuff isn't at all necessary

gonna sound snarky but genuine question: if you don't have to then why would someone do it in the first place? i 100% understand the docker dorkery (waves hands at his unraid setup) but JVM config/tuning doesn't streamline or isolate or anything like that - for little client apps there's no point beyond getting it to run ( unless it's a high performance thing...but this isn't ). so i don't know what the end goal of messing with it is, if you don't need to do that to make it function

no clue, that entire tirade on previous page about this having some kind of trick to it was completely cryptical to me. i didn’t have to do anything beyond starting the app for it to work, and the only “weird” java setup was that my pi had some kind of problem that wasn’t related to the software at all

i will never stop touching my computer at all times

just today i've been reinstalling my home automation raspberry pi 4 to switch it from 32 to 64-bit, backing up, updating, restoring and reconfiguring
openhab3 and a ton of plugins
weewx weather monitoring (with Weather34 addon)
mosquitto mqtt server for controlling a bunch of homemade rollerblind motors
nut-server for UPS monitoring
telegraf for scraping prometheus data from a bunch of https://www.airgradient.com/diy/ kits
influxdb2 and grafana for charting all this crap

it's the best

i forgot to ever buy a hard case for my jazzmaster. i'll use the soft case i have for my old esp and just move the esp without a case. i hope nothing gets hosed up though :ohdear:

afaict it boils down to “some java installers on windows don’t set an environment variable the app assumes they will”, which would be a huge problem if the app was intended for non-technical users

if gc doesn’t have hard cases, check and see if they have shipping boxes and if you can bribe one of the staff into giving you. i would also recommend asking local used gear shops if you have any around about buying a shipping box off them, or if they have a case that might fit.

fortunately guitars ship well in cardboard and bubble wrap, though i suspect movers may be less careful than shippers… but it’s not like you need to ship a mac pro, so you wont have to dig up 40 pounds of cardboard and styrofoam and seal it in with a blood pressure cuff
