dim notch Jan 29, 2025, 4:51 AM

#

ah you have an older version of terminal;

#

glass crescent Jan 29, 2025, 4:52 AM

#

I just typed terminal in add-on store and chose the matching result.. don't know why an old one would be the default..? 🤔

dim notch Jan 29, 2025, 4:52 AM

#

look for "Advanced SSH & Web Terminal"

dim notch Jan 29, 2025, 4:53 AM

docker exec -it addon_a0d7b954_nut /bin/bash

glass crescent Jan 29, 2025, 5:01 AM

#

worked?

dim notch Jan 29, 2025, 5:01 AM

#

you are now in the shell in the container

#

upscmd should now be accessible

glass crescent Jan 29, 2025, 5:02 AM

#

ok.. I tried the command shown in the docs but I don't know the ups name apparently..?

root@a0d7b954-nut:/# upscmd -l my_ups
Error: Unknown UPS
root@a0d7b954-nut:/#

#

is it in here somewhere?

#

AHA! found the name

dim notch Jan 29, 2025, 5:04 AM

#

progress!

glass crescent Jan 29, 2025, 5:04 AM

yeah loosing wife points in that situation is never good

glass crescent Jan 29, 2025, 5:10 AM

why in the world would it be this convoluted to do such a common task that seems like it should have been made into a switch like years ago!

dim notch Jan 29, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

i suggest you make some notes about this proceedure for youeself

glass crescent Jan 29, 2025, 5:10 AM

#

yup. adding it to secure notes in lastpass right now

dim notch Jan 29, 2025, 5:14 AM

does seem like something you would want. i have never used nut so dont know much about its server or intregration so dont know how easy it wouuld be to add. but in any case you now have learnt a few things and know how to solve the problem if it happens again 🙂

glass crescent Jan 29, 2025, 5:18 AM

#

yeah.. the thing I hate is not knowing enough to know how to get the answers other folks seem to have. I don't know anything about using docker at the command line. its really hidden from you in home assistant and the only other place I have it is on my unraid boxes- where it is also mostly hidden. you really never have to step outside the gui..

#

though on unraid at least it has a convient way to get a bash shell in the docker container
