So I have my own Grafana board setup and do not use this container but you should be able to just edit the telegraf.conf and enable the server and enter unraid IP under [[inputs.apcupsd]]. I don't remember having to do anything else to get my APC UPS stats to appear.

Understood. Just a different approach from what I am used to seeing on other containers with VPNs where it simply refuses to run without a VPN link. As a novice user, it scared me to see the container running without it. I do not fully understand all the back end work that goes into this and simply reported it as it was something I did not expect and thought it may have been an issue. Thank you for the explanation and updating the container.

Yeah I read that step but it concerned me that the container was running when the VPN link was not up as there was no VPN configured yet. Made me think that if my VPN ever stopped, the container would continue to run without it and reveal my IP and data. Thanks.

Just installed the OpenVPN HyDeSa container. The kill switch does not seem to work correctly. I just installed it and the container running and is reporting my real IP address(used curl ifconfig.io to verify). I did not setup any OVPN config files yet so I would assume the container should refuse to start or at least refuse connection to the internet shouldn't it?

I am having the same issue but I do not use PIA. I have a Privoxy with VPN as well which does not have any issues. I am guessing it is an issue with the docker container, not our VPNs. I'm a derp...It was my VPN after all. I didn't realize my .ovpn config file in this container was connecting to a different server than my Privoxy+VPN. Switched it out to match what I have in Privoxy and this worked immediately. Guess one of their servers was down or something. All good now.

Same here. This seems to happen to me every 2-4 weeks it will just randomly fail. I think the DB keeps getting corrupted somehow and I have to delete the app folder, download a fresh image, restore from backup file i transfer into the new app folder, and then it works again for another 2-4 weeks before failing again.

I wish I could be more helpful here but I only have personal hands on experience with that particular model UPS in my earlier post since it is the model I personally own. I would assume that if there is no display, you should have some sort of console or serial port to manage the UPS. It's possible the settings I am referring to exist in the console. I would recommend calling up APC for support. Don't tell them you are trying to get the UPS working with a montioring system in linux or anything like that as they wont know how to help. Just ask them if your UPS support ModBus(or the other options unRAID supports) and ask how to enable it. Id be happy to assist beyond that step if you like but I am by no means an expert. I work for an MSP providing level 2/3 tech support for enterprise clients but our company does not work much in the Linux world, mostly Windows. Though I still pick up enough info here and there to connect the dots that others may not notice if you catch my meaning. I have good resources and can ask my engineering team for advice if there is something over my head as well.

So I had the same issue but the solution made me feel like an absolute idiot....spent a good 20-30 minutes trying to figure this out but eventually got it: 1. Enable advanced config options on your UPS via the on screen display 2. Open configuration options and scroll down until you find ModBus 3. Change ModBus to Enabled. It is disabled by default on all APC UPS units. 4. In unRAID UPS Setting menu, set the "UPS Cable" to USB and set "UPS Type" to ModBus. No additional settings like /dev/tty** are required. It may take a minute or two for the info to load but it will. ***Make sure you use the USB-A to USB-B cable to connect your UPS to the server, not the RJ-45 to USB-A. ModBus does not seem to work with the RJ-45 port on the UPS***
