"UniFi OS Server" is the successor to #UniFi Network Application.

Is actually not a OS but supposedly a collection of podman containers and scripts that fuck around in the base OS as it pleases. 👀

Will this work in a dedicated #fcos VM? I'll find out.

Aaaand it won't. Of course it wants to write in places where it's not even sane to write to on a mutable OS.

UniFi OS Server installs just fine on Fedora CoreOS when doing "rpm-ostree usroverlay" before starting the installer.

This will allow it to create symlinks in /usr/bin which are not needed and don't need to be persisted. Without temporarily enabling usroverlay the installer will leave UniFi OS Server in a broken state.

Coreos is a great match for UniFi OS because the base system will upgrade automatically while application upgrades are managed by UniFi.
