The actual source is this: https://community.ui.com/releases/UniFi-OS-Server-4-2-23/21df94e9-55d6… but only accessible if you opt-in to the Unifi Early Access program. We are talking beta software / first release here, so any criticism needs to be looked at through that lens.
Also there is the official announcement now: https://blog.ui.com/article/introducing-unifi-os-server

What does “OS” in the name stands for? My first thought was “Operating System”, but that doesn’t make sense when what they are providing is a server via a docker container. No one says they installed the Elastic OS…
Ubiquiti themselves call it “software package”:
> Self‑hosted software package that delivers UniFi Network [1]
My second thought was “Open Source”, but the absence of comments complaining about the license make me believe it isn’t this.
Any guesses?
