The following article works:
http://erikvanpaassen.tweakblogs.net/blog/10024/turning-a-raspberry-pi-into-a-unifi-controller-appliance.html
But I had to change JAVA_HOME to “JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-armhf/” in the sysv-init service file (/etc/init.d/unifi) provided by erikvanpaassen.tweakblogs.net because I used OpenJDK-7-jre instead of the Oracle Java runtime environment.
In addition to that I had to install the jsvc package.
#!/bin/bash
