As in title. I’m leaving my minipc in a place for summer, and there are power outages sometimes. I wanted to configure it to shutdown when on UPS power, and was curious about how people go about doing that.

As a bonus, how do I automatically boot it up when regular power is back on? It’s an N100.

Should further info be needed, please let me know.

    Thanks for the NUT idea. I’ll look into it and reply back again when I’m next awake. Thank you.

    I was worried about the powering back, unfortunate. Will look for ups’ that can help with this. If anyone knows of this please let me know.

      So, something to note is that a lot of UPSs have a configuration for sensitivity. Your power actually fluctuates quite a bit, but you don’t notice. I have my UPS on the default sensitivity, and there have been a few instances of it going onto battery power when none of my other devices even flickered.

      So, with that in mind, I use NUT. My server has it setup and it’s set to gracefully shutdown after my UPS hits 25% battery remaining. That way false positives don’t shut it down, nor will small flickers, nor will an outage less than an hour or so. My UPS says I can run for about 90mins on current load.
