Setting up a NUT Client

Install NUT client

• sudo apt install nut-client

Select your mode

• sudo vi /etc/nut/nut.conf

(I'm installing NUT on VMs and accessing the NUT server in it's own VM on the same ESXi server...)

MODE=netclient

Case #1: Non-GUI systems

(Running Debian 11...)

Select your REMOTE hardware

• sudo vi /etc/nut/upsmon.conf

MONITOR cyberpower@ups.server.tld 1 username password client

(where ups.server.tld is the name or IP of your NUT server.)
