Good news - Ubiquity has released version 6 of the Unify controller software in september 2020.
If you're running Unify on a Raspberry Pi (on raspbian) then you're likely to be greeted by a message that UBNT's repository has changed when you try to run apt-get update.
Something like:
E: Repository 'http://dl.ubnt.com/unifi/debian stable InRelease' changed its 'Codename' value from 'unifi-5.13' to 'unifi-6.0'N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.
So - what to do?
Simple: Run apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change
Details? Read on!
1) SSH into your Raspberry using Putty (or whatever you use to do so)
2) Run sudo apt-get update and notice the error message: Ubiquity has changed the relase to 6.0, so you need to accept that.
3) Run sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo - and notice how the error no longer shows.
4) Run sudo apt-get update again to verify
5) Make sure you downloaded a Unify backup to your workstation!
6) Run sudo apt-get upgrade Unify will now be updated.
