Changed Homebridge readme to be easier to read and use. (#222) 
I updated the homebridge readme to include more detail and that you need cni plugins. It also includes a bit more detail when it comes to command line.

Run Homebridge on your UDM

Features

  1. Run Homebridge on your UDM(P).
  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.
  3. You have applied cni-plugins to setup for cni configeration. (You dont need the configeration files, just place the script in the on boot folder.)

Steps

  1. Type this command: mkdir -p /mnt/data/homebridge/run

  2. Copy 25-homebridge.sh to /mnt/data/on_boot.d. To do this, cd into /mnt/data/on_boot.d, then type vim 25-homebridge.sh then go to this page and copy everything using CTRL + A and then CTRL + C and then paste it into vim then click ESC and then type :x then click the enter key.

  3. Copy 90-homebridge.conflist to /mnt/data/podman/cni. This will create the podman network that bridges the container to your VLAN. To do this, cd into /mnt/data/podman/cni and type vim 90-homebridge.conflist then go to this page and the press CTRL + A and then CTRL + C and then paste it into vim and click ESC and then type :x then click the enter key.

  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.

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.
