apcupsd

Docker - APC UPS Power Management Daemon. Typical usage would be to integrate with Home Assistant or openhab

Building

Build via:

docker build -t retrohunter/apcupsd-cgi:latest .

Running

Run via:

docker run --device=/dev/usb/hiddev0 retrohunter/apcupsd-cgi:latest

Where --device=/dev/usbhiddev0 is the USB port connected to your UPS. Some sites suggest this may be /dev/ttyUSB0 on older Linux kernels.

This may vary on some systems, try lsusb to see a list of devices.

If you want to verify this look at:

udevadm info --name=/dev/usb/hiddev0 --attribute-walk

If you cannot access port 80 you may need to use docker's host networking like:

docker run -ti --rm --net=host --device=/dev/usb/hiddev0 retrohunter/apcupsd-cgi:latest

Using

Simply point your web browser to port 80 whereever docker is running. eg:

http://localhost:80/cgi-bin/upsstats.cgi

or

http://localhost:80/cgi-bin/multimon.cgi
