Thank you for your feedback. Now our developers are working on it. It will be coming soon, please keep an eye on our website.

I managed to port it to unix on my own, it should be fairly easy.

I think there should also be efforts put into the stability and functionality of the tool. Compared to Ubiquity there's way to go.

any release date available already?

Grtz,
E-raser

After spending some time with the software I decided to return the devices and switch to Ubiquiti.

Just for you to know how important it is to have
a. Good Software
which runs on
b. Most Servers

Both is not the case for your devices. It is a pity as hardware seemed solid.

Looking to have it on linux. As already asked, have a docker set available, I would be able to run it on my synology. As this box is always on, it would be a perfect match.

Same here. I have just finished a cluster WiFi install with a captive portal as follows:

PoE switch TP-Link TL-SG1008PE
[*]WiFi access points Ubiquiti UAP-AC-PRO-US
[*]Controller / captive portal for the access points running on Ubuntu Server 16.04.2 LTS (with Gnome WM)
Ubiquiti's Linux AP controller was super-easy to set up on Ubuntu (standard pkg, just add source), and runs rock-solid as a Linux service. 0 problems so far. VERY polished and slick web UI.

EXCEPT: Ubiquiti as a business has this oily feel - they try to collect usage data (no complete opt-out - I had to configure firewall) and leave gaps in their pretty UI charts with "Buy this other piece of Ubiquiti hardware to populate data here" type messages instead of simply omitting the inapplicable sections.


I far prefer TP-Link's no-nonsense approach and hardware value. BUT it HAS to run on Ubuntu Linux, and it has to be ROCK SOLID.

It's 2017. I'm not paying for a Windows Server 2016 and supporting it just to run a few access points in this little hotel or that restaurant, nor relying on a Windows 10 workstation (requiring a domain controller with group policies and/or lots of labor to harden to unattended server standards - with follow-ups after every major update as they keep adding and re-enabling junk), nor relying on Windows 7, no longer fully supported. TP-Link folks, forget about Windows head-end in a small/medium business context, just forget it! Maybe for simple end-user self-installs 5 yrs ago it was a good idea, but not for someone supporting more than one installation and wanting to be able to sleep at night.
