Install UniFi OS Server 5.0.6 on Debian 13 (x64)

Here's how I installed UniFi OS Server 5.0.6 on Debian (x64) on Debian 13

I used Podman on Debian (Debian' version of Docker)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y podman uidmap slirp4netns iptables curl wget ca-certificates

Download the install file from Unifi.  Obtain the link from Unifi's web site (Software Downloads - Ubiquiti).  This will ensure you get the latest version


wget LINK-COPIED

Example: wget https://fw-download.ubnt.com/data/unifi-os-server/1856-linux-x64-5.0.6-33f4990f-6c68-4e72-9d9c-477496c22450.6-x64

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/src/unifiserver

Move the file from the file location you are in now to the new directory location

mv FILE_NAME_DOWNLOADED /usr/local/src/unifiserver/

Example:
mv 1856-linux-x64-5.0.6-33f4990f-6c68-4e72-9d9c-477496c22450.6-x64 /usr/local/src/unifiserver/

go to the directory
cd /usr/local/src/unifiserver


Make dwonloaded file executable
chmod +x FILE_NAME

example: chmod +x 
1856-linux-x64-5.0.6-33f4990f-6c68-4e72-9d9c-477496c22450.6-x64

Run the file

./FILE_NAME

After the install is completed, you should see something like this that indicates it was successful install.

UOS Server is running at: https://IP_ADDRESS:11443/

These two commands will make sure everything starts up

sudo systemctl enable --now uosserver
sudo systemctl status uosserver
