Running Unifi Controller in systemd-nspawn with cloud-init

This uses Ubuntu's server cloud image as a stateless container to run the UBNT Unifi Controller software. Configuration data is stored in a directory outside the container. Cloud-init is used to automatically set up the container image, so a new version can be dropped in with minimal effort. This should work with pretty much any modern Linux distro with systemd.

Setup

Systemd-nspawn prefers to store its machines on btrfs, so if your /var/lib/machines is not currently btrfs, you should create one and mount it there. Otherwise it will automatically create an image file at /var/lib/machines.raw and mount it.

A set of instructions on how to fix the harfbuzz + Infinality issue and restoring good-looking, Infinality-like font rendering.

Disclaimer: Please follow this guide being aware of the fact that I'm not an expert regarding the things outlined below, however I made my best attempt. A few people in IRC confirmed it worked for them and the results looked acceptable.

Attention: After following all the steps run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache as root, this prevents various gdk-related bugs that have been reported in the last few hours. Symptoms are varied, and for Cinnamon the DE fails to start entirely while for XFCE the icon theme seemingly can't be changed anymore etc.

Check the gist's comments for any further tips and instructions, especially if you are running into problems!

Reboot after running. Scripts for reversing are included and commented. Fork of https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script (different defaults). N.…

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:
