Install NUT directly on Proxmox VE and control guests from here

[yunmkfed]

Hi,

I followed the tutorial at https://youtu.be/vyBP7wpN72c?si=dqMMot6WV3chdpAP (no connection to presenter). It was very detailed.

My use case is a single Proxmox server connected to a single UPS running 3 VMs (2 Windows, 1 Ubuntu).

Is it possible to install NUT directly on Proxmox and simply trigger Proxmox to gracefully shutdown the Guest OSs when there is a power failure and then power down itself? Is there a tutorial / guide I can follow?

Thanks

Here's a ProxMox specific HowTo that I've used in the past:

He never reported back

Maybe his power went down!

Sorry I missed the thread - my bad.

It worked even though I have a problem on my Windows Server 2022 VM in that proxmox is not shutting it down.

Great to hear!

This is arguably the best tutorial I've ever used. literally copy paste and I had this CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS System, 1000VA/600W, 10 Outlets, AVR, Mini-Tower, Black up and configured complete with LXC to monitor this too (I was not expecting that bonus to the tutorial)!! incredible. took mayyyybeee 20 mins from soup to nuts.

Hi, thank you so much for this post it is exactly what I am looking for, I would like to ask for a little bit of help though. I have set up one of my Synology NAS' as my NUT server as they don't seem to play nicely without customization as being the client. Would appreciate if you could help me with that in any way?

Found this, helps you set up Proxmox as a client to a Synology NAS...this might be simple to all except me but thought I would share
