How many folks already self-host UniFi on their own hardware vs native consoles?

I’m running a container,
And?
Way to leave us hanging by that comma 😅
So this is a way to run virtualized UniFi controllers per client? What’s the benefit of this over proxmox+linux hosting?
They still have mediocre support for IPv6
I’m still using an old UC Gateway, doubt my homelab will outgrow it.
I decommissioned mine, I had it and to access points. When I moved, I replaced it with a dream machine se pro. I really wanted DPI and IDS at my full internet speed. I strongly considered just throwing a bunch of their access points up and crafting a firewall out of a PC. Run ntopng on it. In the end the sweet siren song of a cohesive, single interface, completely managed network won out.
MSP’s ??
I think it stands for Managed Service Providers.
I am, the UniFi Java blob that runs on MongoDB. I use it for my 802.11ac access points, although not very often.
I really want to move to openwrt on them (not a big fan of how Ubiquiti treats out-of-support hardware), but I’m scared of taking the big plunge of managing them all with a unified interface. There exist projects to do just this, I guess it’s the work to set it all up.
OpenWISP?
That’s the one. It’s a bit daunting and I have a caldav migration to complete and some offsite backups to get done first.
They were working pretty hard to wall their garden. This looks promising but I remain sceptical.
