After having the new Unifi Dream Router for a while i had the desire to add additional services like NTP. For this you’ll need a container engine like podman which unfortunately isn’t pre-installed anymore.

On-Boot Script

Install the unifios-utilities according to instructions :

1
curl -fsL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/HEAD/on-boot-script/remote_install.sh" | /bin/sh

The directory /mnt/data/on_boot.d should now be available. Unfortunately the filesystem layout has changed in Unifi OS 2.x, hence we need to move the directory to the internal SSD:

1
2
3
4
5
mkdir -p /data/on_boot.d/
mv /mnt/data/on_boot.d/* /data/on_boot.d/
mv /mnt/data/.cache /data/
rm -Rf /mnt/data
ln -snf /data /mnt/data

Installation of Podman

  • Navigate to the Build-Overview of the unifios-utilities  for the “UDM-SE Podman”. Click on the latest build and download the file “udmse-podman-install.zip” from the artifacts section.

  • Unpack the file - this unpacks “podman-install.zip”.

  • Create a persistent directory on the UDR:

    1
    
    mkdir -p /data/podman/
    
  • Move the file “podman-install.zip” to the UDR (e.g. via WinSCP) into the directory (/data/podman/).

  • Then unpack the file (this is the “installation”)

    1
    2
    
    cd /data/podman/
    unzip podman-install.zip
    

Configuraion of Podman

Now various config files have to be created.
