We are on Stable with this Package. Please flag out-of-date only if the Version provided with this package does not match the version under "Stable" in this link: https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008240754#1

I hate to say this, but UniFi is forcing us to host their ads on our stuff with no UI-facing or configuration options to change it. It looks like this:

From this thread, folks are talking about how they are modifying a JS file in a Docker image to remove the modal:

They are using this sed command:

sed -Ei '/return n&&r\?.+\.aF\.Root/s/return n/return !1/' webapps/ROOT/app-unifi/react/js/swai.*.js

In this package, this results in this diff:

I am running this patch on my UniFi server, and so far, it seems to be working without any side effects.

Keep in mind that this patch targets swai.6eeda0a22aa076976d7e.js, which is probably going to be changed in a new version (probably new minified JS and a new file name). The sed command above will probably work with a new version, which can be used to create a new patch.

Didn't run for me with jdk25-openjdk. Had to install jre25-openjdk-headless instead.

I confirm that for unifi 10.3.55-1 Java 25 seems to be required, jre25-openjdk-headless 25.0.3.u9-1 works fine and mongodb36-bin 3.6.23-1 does as well.

I am unable to remove jre21-openjdk-headless due to "removing jre21-openjdk-headless breaks dependency 'java-runtime-headless=21' required by unifi"

Got 10.3.55 working. Also noticed the latest mongodb-bin does not work and unifi.jar will never start listening/be accessible as mongodb exits indefinitely as it tries to get on its feet.

Downgrading back to mongodb36-bin as I had previously been using seemed to work.

My build pipeline has to sed a few things in the PKGBUILD to succeed. Otherwise it tries to build mongodb from source which takes over 8 hours as it goes off to build gcc14. I caught yay trying to do the same thing at some stage.

Sticking with mongodb36-bin and jre25-openjdk for now.

The newest version needs Java 25, not 21.

https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-22557 suggests this package (unifi) needs to be updated urgently.

Anyone successfully running this package past 10.0.162?

Note that unifi 9.5 does not support the newly released version 8.2 of mongodb. At least, in my case, latest mongodb-bin did not work. Switching to mongodb80-bin seems to work.

We are waiting the new version :) 9.3

Looks like --add-opens has been deprecated?

systemctl status unifi Unrecognized option: --add-opens

Edit: My bad was using java-8-openjdk/jre

Fixed with archlinux-java set java-17-openjdk
