I have messed around with NUT to trigger a graceful shutdown of my home server running Ubuntu Server. I have struggled with setting NUT up on bare metal, but would like a gui anyway. I saw PVE-UPS which looks good, but I think but I think it is meant for Proxmox. Any alternatives, or a spin of PVE-UPS for docker compose anybody know about?

    I was hoping to setup a server and clients to shutdown the other Raspberry Pis and such, scattered around the house if the main server senses a power failure.

    Also, I had an issue where it insisted on triggering a shutdown the SECOND the UPS triggered, even if it came right back. I might take another swing at it at some point, but I liked the look of that PVE-UPS things.

      On clients you mostly have to set MODE=netclient in the nut.conf and modify the upsmon.conf according to the manual and detailed manual. By default, it should only shutdown systems when reaching a “low battery” situation, not immediately when switching to battery power.
