Title: Feature Request: NUT netserver mode
Post by: aimdev on November 09, 2020, 06:21:41 pm

As opnsense is on 24/7, and is on a UPS capable of supporting more server's, it would be helpful to make netserver option available to inform other NUT netclient's that the power is failing, and to initiate a shutdown.

Netserver Mode is essentially identical to Standalone Mode but with the additional benefit of offering NUT services to other machines on the network by way of those machines running NUT client software

Just add a port forward to localhost with the usual port

A nut-server plugin would indeed be nice, currently im using a raspberry pi just for that.

Again, just add a port forward, Interface LAN, source LAN net, dest LAN address, port 3494, redirect target 127.0.0.1, thats enough :)

Actually this was not needed, it works fine as is.
My nas is now on the same UPS as opnsense, the UPS being controlled from opnsense.
