Plan: Add UniFi Pulumi Stack
Status: Abandoned Superseded by: segment-home-network
Why Abandoned
Attempted Feb 2026 with the ubiquiti-community/unifi Terraform provider via pulumi package add. Two issues made the approach unviable:
- API key auth skips UniFi OS auto-detection (provider bug #74) — requires username/password instead, which is unsuitable for IaC
- “No-op” update on the default LAN network reset undeclared properties — bricked the network, requiring a factory reset and backup restore
The provider ecosystem (ubiquiti-community, filipowm, pulumiverse) is too immature for critical single-device infrastructure like the home router. A provider bug that causes a network outage on a no-op update is an unacceptable risk.
What Survives
The network segmentation goals from this plan remain valid and are carried forward in segment-home-network, which describes how to configure three-network segmentation manually through the UX7 web UI.
