Setting up Unifi Talk without Touch device

I recently came across the issue that I wanted to setup Unifi Talk but I didn't want to buy a talk device just to set it up (this was the recommended way from Unifi)

For Unifi Talk 4.2.4 its a little more difficult but still possible:

1. Go to your Unifi Talk setup page and press right mouse button -> Inspect
2. Go to Network tab in Dev Tools
3. Search for index-

4. Reload the page
5. On the new item that just popped up right click and select "Override content"
6. It wants you to select a folder so select a empty folder on your pc
7. In the file editor hit Ctrl + F
8. Search for internalToolingEnabled: !1
9. Replace it with internalToolingEnabled: 1
10. Reload the page

Now you should be able to press the next button even with no devices!

Old solution

So I began investigating the code and found out that if you press 10 times on the "Setup Device(s)" text you'll be able to skip the device step.

Working with 4.2.11

1. Enable SSH
2. Login into device
3. Run the following command.

Same command from link, without escaped quotes and English.

Shell Command
psql -U postgres -d unifi-talk -c "UPDATE config SET data = jsonb_set(data, '{setup_complete}', 'true', true);" && systemctl restart unifi-talk && echo 'Setup complete and Talk Service restarted!'

Output
UPDATE 1
Setup complete and Talk Service restarted!

This is the only thing that worked for me on 5.1.2.

Thanks!
