Accessing UPS monitoring page on NS8

,

NethServer Version: NS8
Module: UPS

Hi,

Is it possible with NS8 to access my APC UPS moitoring page which is connect by USB
On the centos7 install i could access it by going ot http://x.x.x.x/cgi-bin/apcupsd/multimon.cgi

I tried on de Debian install to start apache, but that doens’t work. Maybe due to the install of the NS8 containers.
Is it maybe possible with SFTPgo?

Also i could access the APC status information with my domoticz with the IP and port 3551

Traefik uses the web ports 80 and 443. It could work using another port for apache but I’d recommend to not install software that may interfere with NS8 like a webserver or mailserver.
Maybe we could use a container like https://hub.docker.com/r/gregewing/apcupsd

Would be nice to have an UPC container if that is the best solution.
An UPC functionality is mandatory to my opinion.

NethSecurity already has nut packages, see also UPS (NUT) — NethSecurity documentation

I’ve see it but not yet tested it.
Shutting down my NS8 nicely is for me more important. Also configuring with APCUPSD is easiler to shutdown VM

I have a nut server running in an lxc container on Proxmox. The nut server lets all the other containers know to shutdown if there is a power outage and the battery backup starts to run low. So far it works well. Perhaps something like this might work for you?

I love to test it.
I’m using VM but i think that can be converted from a proxmox file

Let us know how it goes.

If you have any questions about how I set it up on Proxmox, I’m happy to share.

Hi Nuke

Can you share the lxc container or can ik download it somewhere

Hi @MadPatrick

I’m not sure how to clean out any private info from the lxc container but I can share the instructions that I followed if that is helpful.

I created the current debian lxc from the Proxmox menu. I use only 512MB RAM & 512MB Swap, 1 core, 8 GB storage.

I used the following two sites to guide me through the installation and set up:
