Just FYI: current update seams to break NUT dependancies

@rzr
Hi, thank you for having a look.Regarding point 1.)
As it was written by Olivier Lambert in post https://xcp-ng.org/forum/topic/10250/what-os-is-xcp-ng-8-3-based-on/8?_=1773671654080 I understand that your focus is on datacenter usage. Nevertheless I still think - and in other posts users mention it as well - there are quite a lot small non-datacenter - installations in place that use xcp-ng in small office structures using and needing an USV, since it simply essential. I love using XCP-NG and believe it would be a goodie that would make a lot small open source supporters like me very happy.Regarding point 2.)
I am always careful when interfering with "mighty" tools like hypervisors. My experience is that my knowledge is unfortunately to small to see all caveats. -

@FritzGerald workaround
yum update --exclude=net-snmp*This is dangerous.
@stormi Do you see any immediate threat? I am asking since it is working so far for me
-
You can install nut on a separate (small) machine and let it
sshto Your master and run a shutdown script.
That's how I do it since a while back when the NUT-package was temporarily removed from the extra repo -
Yes this "extra" tool was not (never?) supported ,
NUT has never been supported in XCP-ng, it has been asked about for a long time though and a lot of people handle XCP-ng not as an appliance but as any other Server/Desktop system and install packages because they aren't blocked from doing so
-
@rzr @stormi @olivierlambert Please consider this such a request. NUT's functionality at the small system/appliance level (i.e. not datacenter) of use is too useful to ignore but not enough to build a dedicated VM for on systems/appliances with limited resources.
-
I second this request.

Not a great response, if this is really a need paying customers should go and put a request in on the ticketing side.

In case my experience can help with this problem:
The package causing compatibility issues is nut, but nut-client works and allows the xcp-ng hosts update.
I installed nut-client and defined the pool hosts as clients, with my nut server on a Truenas server.
This installation is working and has allowed me to continue using nut on my hosts.

Hi, I had a look at it and may have something to be tested soon (TBC https://github.com/xcp-ng-rpms/nut/pull/1 )
Is any of you volunteering for testing an extra (unsupported?) package ?
Or if the client is enough maybe we can put this on hold unless there is more traction?Reminder: https://docs.xcp-ng.org/management/additional-packages/

@rzr Hi. Thank you very much. I will be setting up a new server within the next 2 weeks and will definitely test it. Then I will give you feedback! Thank you again for picking it up!

Hello, sorry for not getting back earlier. I had some "other" unexpected trouble-shooting project.
Since I have never installed this type of "dev" package, I just wanted to let others know how to install (please to so on a testing server). Besides that, just run:
yum install nut --enablerepo=xcp-ng-ciThat's it. At least installation on my newly setup and completely patched test "XCP-ng 8.3" server worked like a charme:
