First off, the unifi daemon runs on a non-standard port.

Secondly, I'd learn how to find what port things run on, regardless if
instructions are being provided.

$ ps aux | grep unifi

Replace pid below with the pid:
$ sudo lsof -p pid -i | grep LISTEN

You should find that the unifi daemon is listening on port 8443.

Also, there are directions for this:

If you can't figure these steps out, you might also need help on device
adoption:

These are professional devices and not necessarily aimed at home users.
(But once you get the GUI running it's not so bad.) Also, Ubiquiti's
support is pretty good I hear.
