gersilex / apcupsd-docker Goto Github PK

Is it possible to compile a Linux/arm and Linux/arm64 versions of this? I would like to run this on my Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. Thank you very much.

The default apcupsd.conf for this container specifies a UPSTYPE net. A custom config with UPSTYPE usb is needed for an UPS connected via USB according to the USB configuration in APCUPSD's documentation.

But trying to use the apcupsd.conf file

## apcupsd.conf v1.1 ##
UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE
BATTERYLEVEL 5
MINUTES 10
LOCKFILE /var/lock
UPSCLASS standalone
UPSMODE disable

and mapping it onto the container with

volumes:
      - /tmp/apcupsd-docker:/tmp/apcupsd-docker
      - /file/path/apcupsd.conf:/etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf
      - /file/path/doshutdown:/etc/apcupsd/doshutdown

results in a COMMLOST error using apcaccess:

STATFLAG : 0x05000100
END APC  : 2022-04-26 15:14:00 +0000 

with the log also not showing NIS server startup succeeded.

Using the apcupsd.conf as

# /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.conf (in the apcupsd-docker container)

UPSCABLE usb
UPSTYPE usb
DEVICE
BATTERYLEVEL 5
MINUTES 10

at least results in a successful NIS server startup succeeded, followed by a loss of communications:

/sbin/apcupsd: Expected: "## apcupsd.conf v1.1 ##"

A working USB option apcupsd.conf file would be highly appreciated.

Hi, any ideas what other devices than /dev/usb/hiddev0 would need to be handed over to the container when trying to use modbus?
I am constantly getting COMMLOST when running in docker. If I install on the host, modbus communication is perfectly running using the same apcupsd.conf

Hello and thanks a lot for this repo,

I've been using it on a Rpi with libreelec for a while now and it's been very helpful. The only issue I had was with the docker stop command in host-trigger-check.sh because I create all my containers using the --restart unless-stopped option. When manually stopping a container created with this option, it will never be started after a reboot (when power comes back).

I know that in your guidelines you specify that custom changes might be needed per use case but I would like to ask you why not simply halt the system? It will try to gracefully stop the docker service which will stop all containers. 'Systemd' usually has a sane timeout (90 secs on most installations I've seen).

Regards,

Panos

Hi,

I think you forgot to include host-trigger-check.sh in Dockerfile, at least the Readme says, that I should copy it from the dockercontainer to the host.

Thanks for the container, have a nice day,
