Since Ubiquiti only publishes Debian packages for the Unifi Network controller software, running it on Fedora has historically been neigh impossible. Fortunately, a modern solution is available: containers. The *linuxserver.io* project publishes a container image for the controller software, making it fairly easy to deploy on any host with an OCI runtime. I briefly considered creating my own image, since theirs must be run as root, but I decided the maintenance burden would not be worth it. Using Podman's user namespace functionality, I was able to work around this requirement anyway.
