Where I have found documentation to do a step, I have referenced it, so if things don't work for you, go there, they have probably changed something (and hopefully their documentation too!)
If you have any suggestions for improvements, let me know by commenting on this post.

I am adding this picture, to make everything slightly more interesting:

CREATE DATABASE unifi
USE unifi
CREATE USER unifipoller WITH PASSWORD 'unifipoller' WITH ALL PRIVILEGES
GRANT ALL ON unifi TO unifipoller
Install unifi-poller (https://github.com/unifi-poller/unifi-poller/wiki/Installation#debian-variants-ubuntu-knoppix):
curl -s https://golift.io/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -
echo deb https://dl.bintray.com/golift/ubuntu bionic main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/golift.list
apt update
apt install unifi-poller
Correct the unifi-poller configuration file (https://github.com/unifi-poller/unifi-poller/wiki/Installation#linux-post-install):
