When you are unable to login to the unifi controller or forgot admin password, you can restore access using SSH and manipulating mongodb directly.
Do not uninstall unifi controller - most of the data is not stored in mongodb. In case you thought a mongodb backup would be sufficient, you may have fucked up already, just like me. However I managed to write this "tutorial" for anyone to not run into the same trap.
| dash_id=xxxx | |
| api_key=xxx | |
| app_key=xxx | |
| # 1. export | |
| curl -X GET "https://app.datadoghq.com/api/v1/dash/${dash_id}?api_key=${api_key}&application_key=${app_key}" > dash.json | |
| # 2. edit dash.json | |
| move "graphs", "title", "description" up one level in the json hierarchy, from being beneath "dash" to being at the same level |
| import boto.vpc | |
| import time | |
| REGION_NAME = 'us-west-2' | |
| AMI_ID = 'ami-8e27adbe' # Amazon Linux AMI | |
| conn = boto.vpc.connect_to_region(REGION_NAME) | |
| # Create a VPC | |
| vpc = conn.create_vpc('10.0.0.0/16') |
