How to have Unifi available, but not started at boot

Help

You have a couple of options

  1. systemd.services.unifi.wantedBy = mkForce []; should do the trick
  2. allocate less memory services.unifi.maximumJavaHeapSize = 256;
  3. run it in a container with autoStart = false;

The unifi controller will easily run with less memory allocated so that can be done no matter what.

I use postgres and mariadb (mariadb far less) togther with redis so those are running in containers. This also allows multiple different versions which is very convenient.
