Based on 2 of 4 factors.

How is this calculated?

A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes

  • API calls use port 8043 If you use the Omada API, its examples call https://localhost:8043, so replace localhost with your controller's address and make sure port 8043 is open, or API calls won't reach the controller. The examples also use curl's insecure flag, so you may see a certificate warning when testing. source

Common questions

Which port must be reachable for Omada API calls?

The Omada API examples target port 8043, so port 8043 must be open on the controller address. Testing with curl's insecure flag may show a certificate warning.

What network address setup should I consider when self-hosting the controller with a VPN?

A self-hosting example uses a nonstandard 10.132.x.x range to avoid conflicts with VPNs. It also keeps the controller on a server with a static IP.

Can one software Omada controller manage multiple independent sites?

One user manages two completely independent sites on Omada Cloud Essentials. The source describes it as a hardware-free/software controller rather than a physical OC controller.

How do I match Omada AP pre-release firmware to a controller/app version?

The pre-release firmware note lists minimum update firmware and recommended management controller/app versions by AP series. For EAP65x/EAP67x, the minimum update firmware is EAP65x and the recommended controller/app is EAP650.
