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.
