# UPS Server
A websocket server reading data from a Bicker PSZ-1063 uExtension module in combination with one of their UPS through a serial RS232 connection.
The server daemon is monitoring the UPS and provides its parameters to a web application for visualization. In addition a system shutdown is initiated as soon as an UPS input power fail is detected. A shutdown delay is configurable. When input power returns while the delay is pending then the shutdown is cancelled.
Tested with Bicker UPSIC-1205 + PSZ1063. See [www.bicker.de](https://www.bicker.de)
The above hardware combination is powering a Nipogi mini PC via 12V supply. This mini PC is running Ubuntu Server and the UPS monitoring ensures a clean shutdown in case of input power fail.
There are three protocols implemented on the port that is provided by the UPS server: HTTP that serves the web application, a websocket where the web application connects to and a RAW protocol that is serving a apcupsd compatible output for tools like apcaccess or Netdata's apcupsd plugin.

## Debian/Ubuntu packages
It is designed to build as a Debian package.
### Build Dependencies
- libpthread-stubs0-dev
- libwebsockets-dev
- libconfig-dev
- libjson-c-dev
### Actually building it
Nothing special, just build it `dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc`.
### Installation
Install package `sudo dpkg -i ups-server_1.0.5~dev_amd64.deb`.
The ups-server binary is installed in `/opt/ups-server` while the web client is in `/opt/ups-server/client`.
### Removal
Remove the package `sudo apt-get purge ups-server`.
### Configuration
To configure the service in `/etc/default/ups-server.cfg` as required.
#### Netdata apcupsd configuration
The tool `apcaccess` from the apcupsd package is required to get the UPS metrics in netdata. Temporary install the package, copy apcaccess tool to a different location `sudo cp /usr/sbin/apcaccess /usr/local/sbin/apcaccess` and then purge the apcupsd package.
Edit the netdata apcupsd configuration with `sudo ./edit-config charts.d/apcupsd.conf`. Change the source IP and port to what is set in `/etc/default/ups-server.cfg`.
```bash
# add all your APC UPSes in this array - uncomment it too
declare -A apcupsd_sources=(
["local"]="127.0.0.1:10024"
)
```
Restart netdata service.
### Access
Web application in browser `http://localhost:10024`
APC status `/usr/sbin/apcaccess status localhost:10024`
## Building manually
You can probably just run "make" after installing the required dependencies.
Binaries are built in the source directory; you will need to arrange to
install them (and a method for starting them) yourself.
