Configuration for netclient only mode about ansible-role-nut HOT 4 CLOSED

Thank you for the commit :). I tested it and it worked for me.

from ansible-role-nut.

What do you mean with "don't configure nut-driver or nut-server"? If you do not configure any UPS, ups.conf will be basically empty.

Sorry if I was unclear, I only started using NUT a few days ago.

My understanding is that in netclient mode ups.conf does not need to be updated (since no ups is attached to the client) and the nut-driver and nut-server services do not need to be running, only nut-monitor.

ups.conf does not need to be updated

This would break the "idempotent" contract of ansible. Furthermore, if the service is not started, then the configuration files are ignored anyway.

nut-driver and nut-server services do not need to be running

Actually you can disable or enable all 3 services together with nut_enable_services. Allowing which service should be enabled could be useful though, so I just pushed a e4e395a in the dev branch to add this feature.

In tests/test.yml file I just added a NetClient only mode example that should be similar to what you want: could you test it please?
