NUT Driver Selection
-
I'll see about adding support for dummy when I next rev the package. Can you post the ups.conf that you are using please? Thanks.
-
Actually, it would be helpful to see your entire NUT config. You can PM me if you prefer. Thanks.

Hi,
All I have changed is /usr/local/etc/nut/ups.conf. It's below (it's not very exciting … LOL),
[APC] driver=dummy-ups port=/var/tmp/nutDummyUPS/nutDummyUPS.devThe driver is dummy-ups, and port is just the file name it points to.
Thanks!
-
FYI, this seems to be somewhat changed … is that correct? It's not getting overwritten on reboot / upgrade (yay!), but does happen some other times.
Should I add this to redmine, just so it's captured?
Thanks!
-
Hi,
OK, my mistake - another issue blocked me seeing this. It's still the same … ;).
Is there a file I can edit to store my desired ups.conf file? Asking because restarting some other services (like OpenVPN), resets the ups.conf file => I have to go in and edit it every time ... :(.
Thanks!
-
Not currently. I'll be working on a package rev next weekend.
-
Awesome - thanks so much! Just yell if I can do anything at all to help out!
-
If you want to help test the changes, PM me an email address and I will send you the files for testing.
Thanks,

The nut package with dummy has been released.
-
Thanks!!! Do you know what pfSense release this is bundled in?
-
The current NUT package should be available for 2.3 and later. Let me know if you don't see it in your available packages.
-
Ahh - gotcha … so not a pfSense update per se, rather just update the (nut) package - correct? And yes, I see 2.7.4_4 now ... is that the correct one?
BTW, do I need to undo the patches I tested out, or will this overwrite them (blow them away)? That would be easiest of course ... ;-).
Thanks again for all the help.
-
The new release is version 2.7.4_5. It will overwrite the files I sent you.
-
Perfect - thanks!
