@dbeato
Thought I was okay, but can't log in using http, just https.It's causing a problem when I try to set the AP's to look to the vultr IP for the controller.

You only login through https, your manually register the APs via port 8080.

- Get everything on the same version
- Make a backupmfrom the cloud key and download it.
- Restore the backup to the VM.

@jaredbusch Thx, will give that a go!

Thinking out loud here...
This Controller vm is behind a firewall (aka Unifi USG4)...is that a good strategy? -

As long as you open the ports needed it should not be an issue.

If you added the repo per this guide, then it should just be
