This folder, as we will still need to create one more directory for the UniFi network controller to work on our Synology NAS.5. Open the create folder dialog again by clicking the “Create” button (1.) and then clicking the “Create folder” option (2.).6. This final folder must be named “data” (1.). Once you have typed out this name, click the “OK” button (2.).Opening the Container Manager7. Now that you have created the required folders, you will want to open the container manager. We will use this tool to download and run the UniFi network controller on our Synology.You can access this tool by first opening the applications menu in the top-left corner.8. With the application menu open, scroll and open the “Container Manager” application.Installing the UniFi Network Controller to your Synology NAS9. With the container manager now open on your Synology, change to the “Project” tab (1.).On this tab, find and click the “Create” button (2.) to begin creating the Docker project for the network controller.10. You will now get to fill out some information about this new project. Start by filling out a name for your project, we recommend calling this project “unifi” (1.).After filling out the project name, click the “Set Path” button (2.).11. This screen allows us to select where the UniFi Network Controller will be set up on our Synology NAS. Using this dialog, select the folder we created earlier in this guide (1.).Once you have selected the right folder, click the “Select” button (2.).12. Now, we want to change the mode from “upload” to “create“. To do this, click the select box on this screen (1.).Out of the two options, you will want to select the “Create docker-compose.yml” option (2.).13. We can now fill out the Docker Compose file (1.) that will install the UniFi network controller on the Synology NAS.While typing out these lines, you replace “" with a TZ identifier for where you live. For example, we live in Hobart, Australia, so we used “Australia/Hobart“.Once you have filled out this information, click the “Next” button (2.).14. We don’t intend on using the web portal, so click the “Next” button to proceed.15. To finish setting up the UniFi network controller and start it on your Synology, click the “Done” button.16. If everything has worked correctly, you should see the “unifi” project with a little green orb next to it.Accessing the UniFi Network Controller Web

Questions and answers Jochen Unkelbach February 1, 2025 Was muss ich alles tun, um auf mein Netzwerk remote zuzugreifen? 1 comments: Mr. Anderson February 10, 2025 To access a Ubiquiti UniFi network remotely, follow these steps:1. Ensure Remote Access – Use a UniFi Cloud Key, a UniFi Controller on a management station, or host the UniFi Controller in a cloud or NOC.2. Enable Remote Management – Configure the UniFi Controller software to allow remote access.3. VPN Configuration (if needed) – Use a UniFi Security Gateway (USG) to set up a VPN connection by entering the remote router’s hostname, IP address, and shared secret key.4. Layer-3 Adoption (if applicable) – If managing devices across different networks, follow Layer-3 adoption procedures.5. Access UniFi Controller – Use the UniFi Controller’s web interface or mobile app to monitor and manage the network remotely.These steps ensure secure and scalable remote management of a UniFi network.
