Managing multiple TP-Link Omada access points can be a breeze when you have your very own Omada Controller set up. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of creating your Omada Controller using a Raspberry Pi, giving you the power to effortlessly handle your access points. Let’s dive in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing Your Raspberry Pi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To start, make sure your Raspberry Pi is up to date:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y\nsudo reboot<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Installing MongoDB<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Omada Controller relies on MongoDB. Let’s install it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wget https:\/\/repo.mongodb.org\/apt\/ubuntu\/dists\/focal\/mongodb-org\/4.4\/multiverse\/binary-arm64\/mongodb-org-server_4.4.18_arm64.deb\nsudo apt install \/home\/pi\/mongodb-org-server_4.4.18_arm64.deb<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Ensure MongoDB is running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo systemctl daemon-reload\nsudo systemctl enable mongod\nsudo systemctl start mongod<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Installing Dependencies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You’ll need a few more tools. Install them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt install curl autoconf make gcc openjdk-11-jdk-headless\nsudo apt remove jsvc<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Compiling and Installing JSVC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Download and install JSVC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
wget https:\/\/dlcdn.apache.org\/commons\/daemon\/source\/commons-daemon-1.3.4-src.tar.gz\ntar -xzf commons-daemon-1.3.4-src.tar.gz\ncd commons-daemon-1.3.4-src\/src\/native\/unix\nsh support\/buildconf.sh\n.\/configure --with-java=\/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java-11-openjdk-arm64\nmake\n\nln -s \/home\/pi\/commons-daemon-1.3.4-src\/src\/native\/unix\/jsvc \/usr\/bin\/\n\nsudo mkdir \/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java-11-openjdk-arm64\/lib\/aarch64\nsudo ln -s \/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java-11-openjdk-arm64\/lib\/server \/usr\/lib\/jvm\/java-11-openjdk-arm64\/lib\/aarch64\/<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Installing Omada Controller<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now, let’s get the Omada Controller on your Pi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cd \/home\/pi\nwget https:\/\/static.tp-link.com\/upload\/software\/2023\/202303\/20230321\/Omada_SDN_Controller_v5.9.31_Linux_x64.deb\nsudo dpkg --ignore-depends=jsvc -i Omada_SDN_Controller_v5.9.31_Linux_x64.deb<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Accessing the Controller Interface<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can now access the Omada Controller’s web interface through your browser using:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • HTTP: http:\/\/192.168.0.4:8088<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • HTTPS: https:\/\/192.168.0.4:8043<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Keeping Things Updated<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Keep your system and MongoDB updated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    apt list --upgradable\nsudo apt-mark hold mongodb-org mongodb-org-server mongodb-org-shell mongodb-org-tools mongodb-org-mongos mongodb-org-database-tools-extra<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Final Checks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    Ensure everything is running smoothly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    sudo tpeap status\nsudo tpeap start<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    If you need to stop the Omada Controller:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    sudo tpeap stop<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    And always double-check MongoDB’s status:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    service mongod status<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    With your very own Omada Controller up and running on your Raspberry Pi, you’re now equipped to effortlessly manage and optimize your TP-Link Omada access points. Enjoy the convenience of centralized control and efficient network management!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
