Manually update Unifi Controller running on Debian

Posted on One min read

I ordered some Unifi-6 Mesh APs and they only work with controller version 6.3.51 or higher. Switching the settings to the beta channel didn’t bring up any update options. Looking through the forums I found a way to manually update my controller running on Debian.

Log in to the server via SSH and run:

rm /tmp/unifi_sysvinit_all.deb &> /dev/null; curl -o "/tmp/unifi_sysvinit_all.deb" https://dl.ui.com/unifi/6.4.52-25b73d69e0/unifi_sysvinit_all.deb && dpkg -i /tmp/unifi_sysvinit_all.deb && rm /tmp/unifi_sysvinit_all.deb
