Updating Cloud Key firmware manually

2024-07-13

I have a very old Cloud Key 1, which is “Vintage” hardware according to Ubiquiti. (I love the terminology!)

Even though it can't be updated to the absolute latest Unifi software, it was still quite out of date. Updating via the Web UI wasn't working. After some tinkering, I was able to use a manual SSH update — but even that didn't work following the stock instructions!

=> supposedly what to do [Ubiquiti Help Center]

Here's what did work:

=> the fwupdate.bin trick [Ubiquiti community]

=> » Sysadmin » Unifi notes
