The controlleris a Java program that'll run just about anywhere (uses MongoDB as thebackend database). If time is more important than money I'd suggest gettinga Unifi Cloud key, which is just a small computer with the controllerpre-loaded. Otherwise you can run the controller software on just aboutanything. There are a bazillion youtube videos about setting up acontroller. The Crosstalk Solutions channel has some pretty good ones.
