PeaNUT is a small web dashboard for NUT. it runs on truenas1 as the catalog app, and shows both UPSes. checked against PeaNUT 6.0.0.

the app

Apps > Discover Apps > PeaNUT, with the defaults. the web UI is on port 30224.

the servers

the gear icon > Manage Servers. one entry per NUT server:

Name Server Address Port Username Password
ups-truenas 192.168.1.86 3493 empty empty
ups-proxmox 192.168.1.81 3493 empty empty
  • use the host's LAN address, even for the UPS on truenas1 itself. the app is a container on its own Docker network, so 127.0.0.1 is the container
  • apply before you test. the test button only accepts a server that is already saved. testing a new address first fails with Connection failed, and the container log says Connection to this server is not allowed
  • leave the username and password empty. they are only for sending commands to the UPS, and reading needs no login. upsmon is the account that decides when to shut down, so do not give it to a dashboard

the second entry is pve1, the one proxmox node whose NUT server listens on the LAN.
