Or save more and put it in a Pi. If you have no idea what your doing it’s a great intro into the world of networking, ssh, Linux and docker, Ansible etc. But yes, this loses the cloud features.

IIRC, depending on your use case, you don't need the controller running 24-7.

Before I got deeper in the Unifi ecosystem, I just ran the controller on Windows when I needed to (when I only ran 2 APs -- in that case, you only needed an always-on controller if you wanted to run the captive portal).
