Connect to controller via Unifi Portal?

[MarkV74]

Hi, i have some clients running on a CKgen2 or UDM. All of them are added to my Unifi Portal with the same Ubiquiti account. Is it possible to use our product directlty on this portal or do i have to create port forwardings to the controllers on every site?

Thanks!
Mark

The unifi.ui.com portal communications uses WebRTC which isn’t supported by PHP. For this reason this library doesn’t support unifi.ui.com. There is a Node.js-based library that provides experimental support for unifi.ui.com, the last time I tested it things were quite unreliable…

hum ? WebRTC ? did you have more informations about it ? because, when I go to unifi.ui.com, on my side, it just call the normal API ... just it use a custom domain, and a different login method .

Also, it use websockets for events, but the same way the local environment use it .

Thank you .

After some search, the REST API is used only if you use the portal inside the LAN of the UDM ... outside it use raw websockets messages .

Thanks for your reply, i hoped it was easy to accomplish but will consider creating port forwardings on every site.
