UniFi OS Server Early Access: Incremental Improvement or Game Changer?
2025-08-04

Ubiquiti's UniFi OS Server, now in early access, promises a significant upgrade for MSPs and enterprise IT. This self-hosted platform allows running UniFi Network and select apps (InnerSpace, Identity) on your own hardware, eliminating the need for Dream Machines or Cloud Keys. While it unlocks newer cloud features like InnerSpace, Site Magic, and UniFi Identity, limitations remain. Cloud Gateway incompatibility and incomplete organization management hinder its full potential. For those already self-hosting UniFi Network, it's a welcome addition, but it falls short of replacing unifi.ui.com or providing a comprehensive MSP control panel. More of an iterative enhancement than a revolution.
