[SOLVED] Howto config a UPS with PVE?

[LooneyTunes]

Hi,
I have searched for instructions on how to correctly configure an UPS (apc) for use with PVE, and have not found any such thing yet. In the manual the word "UPS" is only mentioned twice, and then just as recommendations to use a UPS, which is good but...

I have understood I need to use the apcupsd utility, but how do I make PVE aware of this to cleanly shut down my VM's when running under UPS power?

I am running latest PVE; pve-manager/7.2-7/d0dd0e85 (running kernel: 5.15.39-1-pve)

Thanks

Just search for setup instructions for Debian/Ubuntu, which should work on PVE.

A shutdown of the system will take care of that automatically, so you don't have to configure anything.

Oh. That would explain the lack of config in PVE. Thanks!
