Run Homebridge on your UDM

Features

  1. Run Homebridge on your UDM.
  2. Integrate Unifi Protect cameras in HomeKit via homebridge-unifi-protect.
  3. Persists through reboots and firmware updates.

Requirements

  1. You have successfully setup the on boot script described here.
  2. You have applied container-common change to prevent UDM storage to fill up with Homebridge logs and addon error messages that can move fast.

Customization

  • Update 90-homebridge.conflist to match your network:
    • Change "bridge": "br0" to the appropriate VLAN for your network.
    • Update "subnet" and "gateway" to match that VLAN.
    • If you want a specific IP assigned, update "rangeStart" and "rangeEnd". Otherwise those properties can be deleted.

Steps

  1. mkdir -p /mnt/data/homebridge/run

  2. Copy 25-homebridge.sh to /mnt/data/on_boot.d.

  3. Copy 90-homebridge.conflist to /mnt/data/podman/cni. This will create the podman network that bridges the container to your VLAN.

  4. Run the Homebridge docker container. Change the timezone (-e TZ) to match your timezone, and DNS (--dns) to match your VLAN gateway.

     podman run -d --restart always \
        --privileged \
        --name homebridge \
        --net homebridge \
        --dns 192.168.1.1 \
        --dns-search lan \
        -e TZ=America/Chicago \
        -e PGID=0 -e PUID=0 \
        -e HOMEBRIDGE_CONFIG_UI=1 \
        -e HOMEBRIDGE_CONFIG_UI_PORT=80 \
        -v "/mnt/data/homebridge/:/homebridge/" \
        -v "/mnt/data/homebridge/run/:/run/" \
        oznu/homebridge:latest
    
  5. Access the Homebridge UI based on the IP you assigned, like http://192.168.1.20/.

  6. If using the UDM Pro, the homebridge-unifi-protect plugin can be installed via the Homebridge UI to integrate Unifi Protect cameras.
