APC 900 with Raspberry and Proxmox

[vikozo]

Hello
i have a APC UPS Pro 900 with USB Port
conected to a Raspberry Pi, Model B+ PLUS - 512MB RAM

i installed some software and able to get the Information from the UPS.

Now the question how do i have to configure Proxmox to pickup the Information about remaining time and if 15 minutes Left Proxmox would be a nice and proper shutdown. AND if the Power get back he would also nice and proper Reboot.

what should be configured on the Pi else, and how to configure Proxmox?

If I remember apc have a tool for linux (maybe like upcups). This tool have some customize scripts who can be run on such events (power down, battery level, and so on). You can put in this scripts some ssh commands, like ssh proxmox halt, or what you need .

Don't know about APCs own software as I don't like closed source products. I'm using apcupsd which is a lighweight package and is working like a charm in a client/server setup.

@ojaksch
i have also installed apcupsd but did not get it to run the Homepage, the Tutorial way i think a bit old ;-)

@guletz
Thanks for your feedback, will have to read into the apcupsd tool

Done these things often with apcupsd.

apt install apcupsd

You can also build a APCcluster with on APC connected to an Masterserver.

I was speaking about apcupsd, and if I remember was created by apc (open source)
