You must ensure you are running MongoDB locally or via an external server.
This port of the controller will not automatically launch and manage the
MongoDB server for you. By default this port configures the Omada
Controller to use the normal MongoDB service running on localhost.

In order to configure an external MongoDB server or configure
credentials, modify the following line in the
%%JAVASHAREDIR%%/omada/properties/omada.properties file:

db.mongo.uri=mongodb://user:password@IP_ADDRESS:PORT/omada

Adjust username, password, IP_ADDRESS, PORT and database name
according to your needs.

This port of the Omada Software Controller uses a modified omada-common
jar file to alter an OS check to accept "FreeBSD" as a Linux system.
This requires decompiling the jar file with a tool such as Recaf to change
the string matched for the os.name check. The path to the class as
decompiled in Recaf is com/tplink/smb/omada/common/util/S

The function you want to modify looks like this:

    public static boolean c() {
        boolean isLinuxOS = false;
        String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
        if (osName.toLowerCase(Locale.ROOT).indexOf("linux") > -1) {
            isLinuxOS = true;
        }
        return isLinuxOS;
    }

There are some other features that may be nonfunctional due to missing
native library support. Examples:

bin/topdf - a Linux binary, presumably to generate a PDF has been replaced with /usr/bin/true

Some jar files don't have freebsd-x86-64 support. e.g.,

grpc-netty-shaded-1.59.0.jar/META-INF/native/libio_grpc_netty_shaded_netty_tcnative_linux_x86_64.so
webp-imageio-0.1.6.jar/native/linux/64/libwebp-imageio.so
netty-transport-native-epoll-4.1.106.Final-linux-x86_64.jar/META-INF/native/libnetty_transport_native_epoll_x86_64.so

It is unclear what effect these have on the Controller software.

Use at your own risk!
EOM
