There are 2 systems I consider critical on my network (at the moment). My main router Firewall running Nethserver and my QNAP NAS. In the event of a power failure, both must terminate gracefully.
I tried to set NETHSERVER UPS as my master which worked. The problem was having my QNAP server communicate with it as a UPS client. QNAP specifically wants to communicate with a service name “qnapups”. The Nethserver UPS service does not allow me to configure my own service and user names which prevents me from using that approach.
Fortunately for me, I fixed this issue by having my QNAP NAS Server set as Master and Nethserver as a client which worked.
It would be very useful that NethServer UPS allows us to define our own ups service name, username and password. Please consider adding this as a feature.
Thanks it is a good idea but still, NethServer’s UPS Server should allow me to set my own username and password . At least for those, like me who currently want to use Nethserver as a UPS Server since I have nothing else I can use… Well I do, I have the work around, my NAS.
I have not investigated this in depth, I think there might be a way by editing some file. Through the User Interface it isn’t possible and in my view it should be.
