@elvisimprsntr I think i need to explain what i am asking for. I am fully aware if your netgate router is attached to an UPS you can configure netgate. Let us say you 5 UPS's in your home and you want nut server to read all the UPS's and show me a dasboard about the status of all the UPS's ? - Is there a ready made docker container for client server nut with dashboard functionality? something like this

No, and I believe most people would say that the type of thing you are asking for isn't something you want to run on your firewall. I recommend using a general purpose operating system behind the firewall instead.

Can you please explaing this? The server is a isolated nut server whose ports are not exposed (becuase this runs on cloudflare tunnel if exposed by public domain and has access control from cloudflare) and this gathers the clients info and shows it in a dashboard. Kindly explain me how this is bad? I am not doubting your remarks (you "helped" me in this setup before) and fully aware you are the author of the nut sevices in netgate routers and "very knowlegeable" in nut and everthing nut related

this is a good project to work with....of course as you've been suggested nothing to run on your pfsense machine but on a separate one. -

Basic security principles. Any additional services that you add to a system increases the available attack surface of that system. And the more critical the system is (cost of failure or compromise), the more important it is to minimize the attack surface.
Your firewall is a pretty critical system, and you want to avoid running random services on it unless necessary. Sometimes it is necessary due to the unique position of the firewall in the network, but you really want to avoid using the firewall as a general purpose server.
