Installs and configures NUT (Nework UPS tools) on Debian based systems.

Available variables are listed below, along with default values (see defaults/main.yml):

nut_managed_config: true

If this is set to false, none of the following options will have any effect, that is any and all changes under /etc/nut/ will be your responsibility. This is often desirable when you have complex configurations.

nut_host: localhost
nut_user: monitor
nut_password: Whatever...

Mainly used for configuring the monitor user. A user in the NUT sense is not the typical user a UNIX administrator is used to.

nut_maxretry: 3

According to the NUT documentation, the default value should mitigate race with slow devices.

nut_ups:
  - name: UPS
    driver: riello_ups
    device: /dev/ttyUSB0
    description: Some descriptive information

name and description are arbitrary values used for debugging and reporting purposes.

driver depends on your hardware and must be one of the available NUT driver. Be sure the NUT version installed on your server has that specific driver available.

device is device where the UPS is listening (typically an USB port or a serial device).
