Omada Controller Docker

Omada controller bundled in a Docker image

Image size	RAM usage	CPU usage
371MB	350MB	Low

It is based on:

• Debian Buster Slim
• Omada controller software

Setup

1. Create directories and set their permissions:

   mkdir logs data
   chown 1000 logs data
   chmod 700 logs data

2. Use the following command:

   docker run -d \
   -p 8080:8080/tcp -p 8043:8043/tcp \
   -p 27001:27001/udp -p 27002:27002/tcp \
   -p 29810:29810/udp -p 29811:29811/tcp -p 29812:29812/tcp -p 29813:29813/tcp \
   -v $(pwd)/logs:/omada/logs -v $(pwd)/data:/omada/data \
   qmcgaw/omada

   or use docker-compose.yml with:

   docker-compose up -d

Environment variables

Environment variable	Default	Possible values	Description
HTTPPORT	8080	Port from 1025 to 65535	Internal HTTP port, useful for redirection
HTTPSPORT	8043	Port from 1025 to 65535	Internal HTTPS port, useful for redirection

Notes

• It is useful to change the HTTPSPORT as Omada redirects you to its internal HTTPSPORT. So if you want to run the container with -p 8000:8000 for the HTTPS port, you need to set HTTPSPORT=8000.
• From TP Link Omada's FAQ, Omada controller uses the ports:
  • 8043 (TCP) for https
  • 8088 (TCP) for http
  • 27001 (UDP) for controller discovery
  • 27002 (TCP) for controller searching
  • 27017 (TCP) for mongo DB server (internally)
  • 29810 (UDP) for EAP discovery
  • 29811 (TCP) for EAP management
  • 29812 (TCP) for EAP adoption
  • 29813 (TCP) for EAP upgrading

TODOs

• Healthcheck
• Instructions with proxy and port redirection
