+#
+# These commands CANNOT be run in a script.
+# They're just for reference.
+
+
+# Install on Raspbian Jessie, or upgrade from Wheezy.
+# Make sure all packages are upgraded (update && upgrade).
+
+
+# Update firmware.
+sudo rpi-update
+
+
+# Add the UniFi repository to the sources list, using the following commands
+echo 'deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian unifi5 ubiquiti' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubnt.list > /dev/null
+sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv C0A52C50
+sudo apt-get update
+
+
+# Install unifi.
+sudo aptitude install unifi
+
+
+# Disable the default MongoDB database instance, using the following commands.
+#
+# Without making this small configuration change, you will have two separate
+# instances of MongoDB running; an unused default database instance, and the
+# UniFi database instance. This is obviously not desirable on a device with
+# limited resources, such as the Raspberry Pi.
+echo 'ENABLE_MONGODB=no' | sudo tee -a /etc/mongodb.conf > /dev/null
+
+
+# For Raspberry Pi 1 devices:
+#
+# The latest UniFi Controller software requires some additional tweaking before
+# it will run on ARMv6 devices, such as the original Raspberry Pi (RPi1).
+
+# Remove the UniFi Cloud Library, using the following command:
+sudo rm /usr/lib/unifi/lib/native/Linux/armhf/libubnt_webrtc_jni.so
+
+# Update the Snappy Java Library, using the following commands:
+cd /usr/lib/unifi/lib
+sudo rm snappy-java-1.0.5.jar
+sudo wget http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/xerial/snappy/snappy-java/1.1.2/snappy-java-1.1.2.jar
+sudo ln -s snappy-java-1.1.2.jar snappy-java-1.0.5.jar
+
+
+# Oracle Java 8 (Optional)
+#
+# The UniFi package automatically installs and configures
+# OpenJDK Java 7. However, if you would prefer to use
+# Oracle Java 8, perform the following steps.
+
+# If needed (Raspbian Lite):
+sudo aptitude install oracle-java8-jdk
+
+# Copy the UniFi service controller template, using the following command:
+sudo cp /lib/systemd/system/unifi.service /etc/systemd/system/
+
+#  Add the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable for Java 8 to the UniFi
+# service controller, using the following command:
+sudo sed -i '/^\[Service\]$/a Environment=JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8-oracle-arm32-vfp-hflt' /etc/systemd/system/unifi.service
+
+# If you wish to switch back to Java 7 at any point, execute the following commands:
+sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/unifi.service
+sudo reboot
+
+
+# Once completed, reboot your Raspberry Pi.
+
+# When the reboot is complete, use a web browser to view HTTPS port 8443 on your Raspberry Pi:
+# https://<raspberrypi>:8443
+
+
+# Be sure there is enough disk space!
+# If the server never starts up, try checking the log files:
+#
+# -   /usr/lib/unifi/logs/mongod.log
+# -   /usr/lib/unifi/logs/server.log
+#
+# I had an issue where the disk was filled up before the DB could first be created.
+# The symptom was mongodb logs indicated it wanted to upgrade the DB and exited.
+# Removing the DB files and freeing up disk space fixed it after restarting unifi:
+# sudo service unifi stop
+# sudo rm /var/lib/unifi/db/*
+# sudo service unifi start
