It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

I've got a project to look forward to. Have my Proxmox server with a UPS, running NUT to watch the battery percentage and power down gracefully if the % gets too low. I have Home Assistant watching that so it's supposed to notify me before that happens. It's not notifying me though, so I gotta look into that. I know it's not working this morning because the power went out, so now I'm just sitting here theorizing instead of actually looking at it. 🙃

Oooo can you tell me more?
I have a UPS and it's connected to and communicate with my Synology, but the NUC could also benefit from a safe shutdown in case of power outages.

I used mostly this, but had to customize it a bit I think to get things working right. NUT feels like a super finicky system, but in the end it does work. My biggest issue right now is that it only reports a new status update to Home Assistant every few minutes, so the actions don't really get a chance to trigger before the server shuts down. It also shuts down with the UPS at way too high of a percentage remaining, so I need to figure out how to make it wait just a little bit longer before the power down. It wants to power off like < 2 minutes after the power goes out...
