I had a Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LITE show up from Amazon today. I got it
physically set up and plugged into my dhcp server. Host name "klaatu",
of course.

It lights up, gets an IP address, and responds to pings. That's nice.

The software, on the other tentacle, is a train wreck. I built a VM
with debian 9, one version the documentation says it works with. It
installed this time, with one glitch: it insisted on
"java8-runtime-headless". So just for the halibut, I installed
"default-jre-headless" That worked.

The software runs, according to "service unifi status". However, I
cannot reach it with a web browser. It is not a firewall issue.

I cannot find any instructions on bringing up the software.

Unless someone has some good advice, I'm going to ship it back with
some of what I said here and elsewhere, and order something else that
does not require me to install a bunch of software.

"When we talk of civilization, we are too apt to limit the meaning of
the word to its mere embellishments, such as arts and sciences; but
the true distinction between it and barbarism is, that the one
presents a state of society under the protection of just and
well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government
of brute force."
- The Rev. James White, Eighteen Christian Centuries, 1889
