# @serve.zone/nupst

NUPST is a Network UPS Shutdown Tool for servers that need predictable behavior when power gets ugly. It monitors UPS devices through SNMP or NUT/UPSD, evaluates per-device and grouped power conditions, and runs ordered actions such as Proxmox guest shutdown, webhooks, scripts, and host shutdown.

## Issue Reporting and Security

For reporting bugs, issues, or security vulnerabilities, please visit [community.foss.global/](https://community.foss.global/). This is the central community hub for all issue reporting. Developers who sign and comply with our contribution agreement and go through identification can also get a [code.foss.global/](https://code.foss.global/) account to submit Pull Requests directly.

## Why It Exists

Power-failure automation must be boring, explicit, and local-first. NUPST is built as a single compiled Deno binary that can sit on a Proxmox host or another Linux server, poll one or more UPS devices, and execute a controlled shutdown sequence before batteries are exhausted.

It is useful when you need:

- SNMP monitoring for network UPS units.
- NUT/UPSD monitoring for USB UPS units exposed by Network UPS Tools.
- Multiple UPS devices on one daemon.
- Redundant or non-redundant UPS groups.
- Proxmox VM/LXC shutdown before host shutdown.
- Webhook or script notifications.
- A small authenticated HTTP JSON status endpoint.
- Pause/resume for maintenance windows.
- Configuration migration from older NUPST formats.

## Installation

Install the released binary:

```bash
curl -sSL https://code.foss.global/serve.zone/nupst/raw/branch/main/install.sh | sudo bash
```

Install through the npm package wrapper with pnpm:

```bash
pnpm add --global @serve.zone/nupst
```

The installer places the binary under `/opt/nupst/nupst`, creates a symlink in `/usr/local/bin` or `/usr/bin`, and preserves existing `/etc/nupst/config.json` when upgrading.

## Quick Start

Create the first UPS config interactively:

```bash
sudo nupst ups add
```

Test connectivity:

```bash
nupst ups test --debug
```

Install and start the systemd service:

```bash
sudo nupst service enable
sudo nupst service start
```

Inspect status and logs:

```bash
nupst service status
nupst service logs
```

## Configuration Model

NUPST stores configuration at:

```text
/etc/nupst/config.json
```

The daemon loads and migrates this file at startup. It also watches for configuration changes and can reload normal config edits without a service restart.

Current normalized config version is `4.4`.

Minimal shape:

```json
{
  "version": "4.4",
  "checkInterval": 30000,
  "defaultShutdownDelay": 5,
  "upsDevices": [
    {
      "id": "ups-main",
      "name": "Main UPS",
      "protocol": "snmp",
      "snmp": {
        "host": "192.168.1.100",
        "port": 161,
        "version": 2,
        "community": "public",

      },
      "groups": ["rack-a"],
      "actions": [
        {
          "type": "proxmox",
          "triggerMode": "onlyThresholds",
          "thresholds": { "battery": 30, "runtime": 15 },

  ]
}
```

## Protocols

SNMP supports these UPS model profiles:

| Config value | Typical use |
| --- | --- |
| `cyberpower` | CyberPower devices. |
| `apc` | APC/PowerNet devices. |
| `eaton` | Eaton/Powerware devices. |
| `tripplite` | Tripp Lite devices. |
| `liebert` | Liebert/Vertiv devices. |
| `custom` | Custom OID mapping. |

SNMP versions `1`, `2`, and `3` are supported. SNMPv3 supports `noAuthNoPriv`, `authNoPriv`, and `authPriv` with MD5/SHA authentication and DES/AES privacy.

UPSD/NIS supports UPS devices exposed by NUT:

```json
{
  "protocol": "upsd",
  "upsd": {
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": 3493,
    "upsName": "ups",
    "timeout": 5000,
    "username": "optional",
    "password": "optional"
  }
}
```

## Action System

Actions are evaluated in array order. Put Proxmox shutdown actions before host shutdown actions so guests get time to stop cleanly.

Action types:

| Type | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `shutdown` | Schedule host shutdown with an optional delay. |
| `webhook` | Send an HTTP GET or POST request. |
| `script` | Execute a script from `/etc/nupst/`. |
| `proxmox` | Shut down Proxmox VMs and LXC containers. |

Trigger modes:

| Mode | Behavior |
| --- | --- |
| `onlyPowerChanges` | Run only when status changes between online and battery states. |
| `onlyThresholds` | Run only when battery/runtime thresholds are newly violated. |
| `powerChangesAndThresholds` | Run on power changes or threshold violations. This is the default. |
| `anyChange` | Run on every poll/check. |

Threshold-based actions are edge-triggered. They fire when the condition is entered, not on every poll while the condition remains true. If the condition clears and later re-enters, the action can fire again.

## Groups

Groups coordinate conditions across multiple UPS devices:

| Mode | Behavior |
| --- | --- |
| `redundant` | Threshold actions trigger only when all group members are on battery and below the action thresholds. |
| `nonRedundant` | Threshold actions trigger when any group member is on battery and below the action thresholds. |

For destructive threshold-based group actions such as `shutdown` and `proxmox`, NUPST suppresses execution while any required group member is `unreachable`. This avoids acting on incomplete data during network failures.

## Proxmox Integration

The Proxmox action supports three modes:

| Mode | Behavior |
| --- | --- |
| `auto` | Prefer local `qm`/`pct` CLI tools when available as root, otherwise use the API. |
| `cli` | Force local CLI mode. Requires root on a Proxmox host. |
| `api` | Force Proxmox REST API mode with token auth. |

Useful options:

| Option | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `proxmoxHost` | API host. Defaults to `localhost`. |
| `proxmoxPort` | API port. Defaults to `8006`. |
| `proxmoxNode` | Node name. Defaults to system hostname. |
| `proxmoxTokenId` | API token ID, for API mode. |
| `proxmoxTokenSecret` | API token secret, for API mode. |
| `proxmoxExcludeIds` | VM/CT IDs to skip. |
| `proxmoxStopTimeout` | Graceful stop timeout in seconds. Defaults to `120`. |
| `proxmoxForceStop` | Force-stop guests that do not shut down. Defaults to `true`. |
| `proxmoxInsecure` | Skip TLS verification in API mode. Defaults to `true`. |
| `proxmoxHaPolicy` | `none` or `haStop` for HA-managed resources. |

## HTTP Status API

Enable interactively:

```bash
sudo nupst feature httpServer
```

When enabled, the endpoint returns cached daemon status and requires a bearer token or `token` query parameter.

```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" http://localhost:8080/ups-status
curl "http://localhost:8080/ups-status?token=<token>"
```

Response shape:

```json
{
  "upsDevices": [
    {
      "id": "ups-main",
      "name": "Main UPS",
      "powerStatus": "online",
      "batteryCapacity": 100,
      "batteryRuntime": 45,
      "outputLoad": 23,
      "outputPower": 115,
      "outputVoltage": 230,
      "outputCurrent": 0.5
    }
  ],
  "paused": false
}
```

## Runtime Behavior

- Default polling interval is 30 seconds.
- UPS devices become `unreachable` after 3 consecutive polling failures.
- Failure counters are capped at 100.
- Shutdown delay defaults to 5 minutes unless overridden per action.
- Pause state is stored at `/etc/nupst/pause`.
- Normal monitoring talks to configured UPS, NUT, and Proxmox targets. Upgrade and release checks contact `code.foss.global`.
