Configuring Proxmox VE node as client for remote NUT server running on Synology NAS

Network UPS Tools User Manual

---

• Use Shell on Proxmox Node to install NUT

apt-get install nut

• Edit /etc/nut/nut.conf using vi

vi /etc/nut/nut.conf

Modify the last line

x to delete existing characters

i to insert characters. ESC to go back to command mode

MODE=netclient

:q! to quit without saving if you fuck it up

:wq to save and quit when you get it right

• Edit /etc/nut/upsmon.conf using vi

vi /etc/nut/upsmon.conf

There won't be an existing line, look for the other MONITOR example comments and add after that.

MONITOR <system> <powervalue> <username> <password> ("master"|"slave")

<system> is anything@your.nas.ip.address

monuser and secret are the default <username> <password> for a Synology NAS

<powervalue> is going to be 1 unless you have multiple UPS's

Since you're monitoring your NAS you are in slave mode

MONITOR ups@192.168.1.5 1 monuser secret slave

• Start monitoring:

upsmon start

• To check UPS status: upsc <name>@<address> for remote UPS

upsc ups@192.168.1.5

This will return a bunch of your UPS info if everything is working correctly
