Azure help - Unifi Controller, ScreenConnect

[seedubya]

So, as suggested by the guys here, I've taken advantage of my $100 per month Azure credit to fire up a 2 core, 7GB VM running Ubuntu Server 14.04. I'd like to move my SC installation to it and to to install the Unifi Controller software too.

Can anyone point me to a good guide, specifically for Azure, for either or both of these. I've had them both running on in house VMs already and have SC on Linode at the moment. Specifically I seem to be having issues with DNS resolution to Azure and Endpoints\Ports not passing traffic (I think)

Can't help as I'm just getting started with Azure. Was not aware of the credit until someone mentioned. But if I do find anything I'll be sure to pass them along. The one thing I was not happy about is the limited offerings for Linux "authorized" distros compared to AWS.

I've got my controller set up on Azure @seedubya Not Screen Connect, but Unifi. PM me.

I setup both on windows vm's within azure. For dns i just setup a cname to point unifi.<domainname>.com to <cloud-csname>.cloudapp.net

As for the ports, I'm assuming the Linux is the same as windows (on Azure side), if you click on the vm and then click on the endpoints link at the top, you can add the ports to forward.

I have them both running on a single Windows VM in Azure. I have endpoints 80 and 443 open for Screenconnect. Then ports 3478 (udp), 8080, 8443, 8843, and 8880 (All tcp) open for Unifi. I can't remember if those were the default ports or I had to change Unifi because of sharing the server with Screenconnect.

I have a cname entry for support.domain.name pointing to name.cloudapp.net (whatever it shows under Computer name in the Azure control panel) for Screenconnect.
Then an A record pointing unifi.domainname.com to the external static IP address of the Azure VM.

I set my inform address on the AP's to http://unifi.domainname.com:8080/inform
The Unifi control panel is accessed by http://unifi.domainname.com:8443

I access screen connect by going to support.domainname.com

Not sure if that is setup the best way but it works great for me. There could be other variables with your Linux VM that I'm not aware of (iptables?)

Here is a link to the Ubiquiti support forums that seems to confirm the ports I have open.

Hope that helps.

@seedubya - Did you get this working? I have both Unifi and SC running on same VM albeit Windows.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll try out what you've posted and will get back to you.
