UniFi Controller for RedHat/Centos/etc
======================================

Ansible Galaxy role for installing UniFi Controller software for Ubiquiti Access Points on RHEL 6.

Forked from https://github.com/fukawi2/unifi-controller-rhel and modified to be an includable role via Galaxy instead of a playbook.

Requirements
------------

- You need the [EPEL Repository](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) from Fedora Project enabled to be able to install the requirements (MongoDB etc)
- Ubiquiti's license does not allow redistribution of the software ZIP, so you must manually download the ZIP of the UniFi Controller software from the [Ubiquiti website](https://www.ubnt.com/download/unifi/) and save it to `files/UniFi.unix.zip`. The most recent tested version is "UniFi v5.0.6 Zip for DIY Unix/Linux" from 2016-06-01. If you are including this role via Galaxy, you may download this file to your playbook's `files` directory instead of this role's `files` directory; both will work.

Role Variables
--------------

- **unifi_controller_rhel_ntp_server** (optional) sets your preferred NTP server for the UniFi APs to use (default: `pool.ntp.org`)
- **unifi_controller_rhel_unifi_zip_file** (optional) sets the filename of the UniFi controller software on the Ansible system (default: `UniFi.unix.zip`)

Dependencies
------------

n/a

Example Playbook
----------------

First, install this role via Galaxy by typing `sudo ansible-galaxy install zyphlar.unifi_controller_rhel`

Then create and run an Ansible playbook like this:

    - hosts: your_unifi_controllers
      become: true
      roles:
        - zyphlar.unifi_controller_rhel

Or, if you want to override some variables:

    - hosts: your_unifi_controllers
      become: true
      roles:
        - some_other_role
        - role: zyphlar.unifi_controller_rhel
          unifi_controller_rhel_unifi_zip_file: UniFi.unix.5.0.6.zip
