Hello, Did you acquaint yourself with the NUT project? There are quite a few architecture and installation documents and README's (maybe a few too many for people just getting started, pull requests for simple entry points are welcome) :) In short, you would either have it installed via packaging prepared by your OS distribution maintainers (for `apc_modbus` in particular, you would need

Hello all, It has been too long that I was feeling a release is just around the corner, just gotta tie up a few loose ends. The significant ones we had are finally tied, some others delayed to v2.8.4 trail, and a documentation refresh remains. Thanks to some package maintainers taking a look at the master branch, some issues with "dist" archive creation and parallel builds were also

Hello fellow NUTs :) It is my great pleasure to get a bit of sunshine from other people's work, and announce that the initial pull request for `apc_modbus` NUT driver has recently been merged to the main NUT codebase, so it would be part of an eventual 2.8.1 release. Great thanks go to Axel Gembe for the implementation, and to numerous community members for testing as well as their bug-fix

I have installed NUT Server and everything went fine. Now when I try to run dradmin at raspberrypi:/etc/nut $ http://localhost/cgi-bin/nut/upsstats.cgi I get the following error dradmin at raspberrypi:/etc/nut $ http://localhost/cgi-bin/nut/upsstats.cgi I am trying to run this on a local host. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Got an update for APC Modbus users: a new PR is waiting for real-life testing for settable variables and instant commands support. https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/2184 As before, a custom build of libmodbus may be needed for USB support (detailed in the earlier PR), but Serial and TCP may already be well served by a distro near you!

Great! Thanks for the info, and hope the driver author can address the nits (forwarding now...)

So... April 1st came and went, busy with last-minute warnings from a newly set-up NetBSD build agent for the NUT CI farm, as Greg-inspired warnings exposed by the stricter platform kept popping up and biting. Led to some discoveries in toolkits and standards I thought I knew for decades, too. So it was a tad bit annoying, but good overall :) But now we are a day over the hopeful "not more

Hi, I'm trying to get NUT running. I've installed it with pkg_add nut I can see my UPS as follows: # nut-scanner Cannot load SNMP library (libnetsnmp.so) : file not found. SNMP search disabled. Cannot load XML library (libneon.so) : file not found. XML search disabled. Cannot load AVAHI library (libavahi-client.so) : file not found. AVAHI search disabled. Scanning USB bus. No start

I believe some fixes were applied to the branch since your report (most visibly, about battery time settings), are you in position to test how it behaves now? :) Thanks in advance, Jim Klimov On Wed, Nov 22, 2023 at 3:20?PM Jim Klimov <jimklimov+nut at gmail.com> wrote: > Great!

Hello, sorry and puzzled to hear about that. My guess would be permissions - while nut-scanner remains `root` (if started as one) and sees everything, drivers default to dropping privileges and may not see the devfs nodes (not sure OTOH which paths are involved on OpenBSD). One experimental workaround can be adding `user=root` to `ups.conf` entry for the device. But properly - tame whichever

Thanks again, Great to see confirmations of more and more things working! > I wonder what's the fastest method to test the function (previously I setup the ups and unplug the utility from the ups for testing). > is "upsrw driver.flag.allow_killpower=1" then "upscmd driver.killpower" the correct testing procedure? At least by intent of this new feature -- yes.
