Ansible Role: NUT
Installs and configures NUT (Nework UPS tools) on Debian based systems.
Role Variables
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.
