USG-3P continuously adopting

I’ve been using Ubiquity Unifi for my home network for a couple of years now. I use a USG-3P (gateway) which is directly connected to the fiber, a couple of switches and two APs. I have a home server where I’ve installed the controller software (in Docker). Everything was working great!

A couple of weeks ago my server needed to be rebooted. After everything was up an running again, for some reason the USG-3P decided to throw a fit. It got in a state where it was continuously adopting. The network was working without a problem, I had an internet connection, all clients got IP addresses when needed. But the fact that is was continuously in a state of adopting was bothering me. I tried several things like rebooting the USG-3P, and at one point I reset it. Now another problem surfaced, I could not reach my internal network from the internet (some simple websites). Apparently there was a DNS problem, but I could not figure out what to do.

After a lot of googling I found the solution. The USG-3P for some reason was trying to send the ‘inform’ command to the wrong IP address. So, after I managed to SSH into the USG-3P, I could set the correct IP address:

set-inform http://ip-address-of-controller:8080/inform

Et voila, the USG-3P got adopted, and everything is working fine ever since.

Hania Rani

About two weeks ago I stumbled across a Youtube video of a mini concert of Hania Rani for KEXP radio. I was flabbergasted. Especially the fourth song, Buka, is exceptional. Buka starts at 19:50. I have been playing it again and again.

After I watched that video I’ve been discovering more and more of Hania Rani. What a great musician. I have a new favorite artist!

On to Europa

In an ongoing tradition I have joined the mission to Europa (a Jupiter moon).

Broken

If the person telling you things are broken is the same person who sends you the bill to fix it, run the other way.
