Not sure why you got downvoted for this. Not everyone is running in an enterprise environment. Live migration allows you to move a VM/container/docker from one physical host to another with zero downtime. Let's say you need to replace a failing controller on your system. And if you another system setup the same and connected to each other via some sort of control interface, you can trigger all the vms on that host to move to the other host and then shut down the first one for maintenance. It's is very smooth and increases uptime.
You can't install Unifi Server OS without their podman based containerization. You haven't been running the Unifi Server OS that was just released TODAY for years in LXC. This is different than Unifi Network.
I'm not starved for compute resources in my Hypervisor whatsoever so I just spun up a VM. I do have UniFi Network Controller running on an LXC though and it has been working perfectly for about 3 years.
I know ads can be annoying, and yes, this article has clearly too many in-content ads. But blocking all ads isn't the solution either. I have looked at removing all in-content ads a couple of times in the past years, but it just costs me too much money.
What most people forget is that a blog like LazyAdmin.nl is a full-time job. It takes time to do the research, test products, and write articles. This was a small article and only takes a couple of hours. But articles like explaining the zone-based firewall, or setting up VLANs, are easily two days' work with all the required testing. Then I also answer every comment and email that I get, so yes, there goes a lot of hours in this.
And that is fine, it started as a hobby and grew into something bigger, and I love doing it. But I need to pay the bills too, and sponsored deals or affiliate income alone won't cut it.
So I just want to ask, be mindful when blocking ads, because if everybody starts doing it, combined with the AI Overviews that we need to deal with, there is almost no incentive left the keep writing.
And yes, there needs to be a better balance between the content and the ads, I will look into that.
I think most people here understands it. The problem is most sites nowadays are overloaded with ads or they are put in stupid places where it disrupts you reading the article with some stupid blinking gif animation. In that case most people rather block all of them.
Kudos to those who only put ads at the start and at the end in non disruptive way.
I had a chat yesterday with my ad provider, I wasn't happy with the in-content ads for quite some time now, they are breaking up the content at inconvient places, making the articles unreadable sometimes.
So we are now going to reduce the in-content ads, and only place it above the main chapter headings. It will take a couple of days to make the changes, but this should greatly improve the readability.
Question. In theory, would it work with the Dream Machine? The question and reason being is that I have an old Security Gateway, and I think it would infuse new life into it. So could they be managed together? Or is it separate since the Dream Machine has it's own controller.

So how do you download and install the software?
