Ubiquiti USG Advanced Configuration

Overview

Integrated DNS Overview

When using a USG with Ubiquiti's Unifi Controller software (version 5.6 and earlier), the functionality of integrating the hostnames of clients (when they request a DHCP lease) into local DNS does not appear to work as you would find with Consumer grade routers. To work around this limitation, we can add static host mappings to a configuration file that will be provisioned to the USG when either a configuration change is made or we force provisioning to the USG itself.

Non-GUI Supported Dynamic DNS Providers

I've added in the necessary syntax for adding Cloudflare DDNS to the USG for VPN/Services setup courtesy of this post by britannic on the Ubiquiti Forums.

Configuration File

Docker compose as a systemd unit

Create file /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]. SystemD calling binaries using an absolute path. In my case is prefixed by /usr/bin, you should use paths specific for your environment.

[Unit]
Description=%i service with docker compose
PartOf=docker.service
After=docker.service

	#!/bin/bash -
	set -e
	scriptname=$(basename $0)
	pidfile="/tmp/${scriptname}.pid"
	if [ -d /var/run ] && [ -w /var/run ]; then
	pidfile="/var/run/${scriptname}.pid"
	fi

	if [ -f $pidfile ]; then
	pid=$(cat $pidfile)
