Hey, I’m Dries and I created UniHosted [1]. It's a service that hosts UniFi Controllers in the cloud.<p>While it’s possible to self-host a UniFi Controller, doing it right can be very difficult.<p>You need to take care of installation, backups, software updates and make sure it runs securely. A Shodan search reveals numerous instances where these controllers are exposed to the internet without proper security measures. This is why I created UniHosted.<p>I'm trying to raise the bar from a sec perspective, and I’m quite proud of the result. Everything is automated with Ansible, and new servers are provisioned using Terraform. Gotta love Infrastructure as Code! ;) We also use multiple cloud providers to manage the risk of a catastrophic event. Remember the OVH cloud incident [2].<p>Other solutions, like Hostifi, have gotten quite expensive. Servers cost money; I know that. But I feel that if I can generate a decent living from business customers, I can offer it for free for the rest of us (up to 5 devices).<p>You should know it’s a shared server, but it's a great way to get started.<p>I would love to hear your feedback, so feel free to ask me anything.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.unihosted.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.unihosted.com</a><p>[2] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26407323">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26407323</a>
