UPS support

[alwynispat]

Does Cloudron supports UPS shutdown notifications? Or do I have to manually install a tool in linux?

Please provide more context and a more in detail explanation of what you are looking for.

@BrutalBirdie my Cloudron is self hosted onprem. I have a UPS which powers my Synology, Cloudron, etc.
My Synology acts as a UPS server which tells devices when they are on battery or if the UPS is almost flat.
I would like Cloudron to be able to read that and prepare to gracefully shutdown.

@alwynispat I will move this to a feature request.

Hey, can we expect a feature launch in the near future? I'm just starting to implement a UPS startup on my local network to protect servers and automatically shut down due to power outages. If it will not be implemented in the near future, can I install “nut-client” on the server myself?

Just check if automatic security updates keep applying on the server periodically . Sometimes adding additional packages causes conflicts. Is nut-client in universe/multiverse?

@joseph Hey, I'll provide a link here, where the exact details of the package are given. I think there should be no problem.

I would also like to see this added to Cloudron officially. With settings for nut server.

@charlesnw is nut the same as https://networkupstools.org/ ?
