I have no idea how WesternDigital managed to make their UPS client configuration tool so … annoying that despite basically running NUT I can’t get it to agree to use my real NUT server.

Their config tool scans the NUT server for a set of particular names (fine, I can provide those), but then apparently also expects some magic strings in the answer that short of reverse engineering their 32-bit ARM I can’t figure out for the life of it.

I can of course just log into the NAS and start `upsmon` after each reboot, but given how they in general write configuration files on startup, I think I might be missing any tunables on how to gracefully shut down the system (bar completely overriding the config-file). Given that this should be scripted, I might probably just do this with ssh.

Since the NAS serves NFS, I need to first shutdown ProxMox, as otherwise the containers get stuck when the NAS “leaves” first. *sigh*
