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.
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:
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/).
mkdir -p /data/podman/etc/containers/
mkdir -p /data/podman/var/lib/containers/
cat > /data/podman/etc/containers/storage.conf <<EOF
