How to install apcupsd on Centos 8?

[oSAlj]

Hi to all!

How to install UPS monitoring software (apcupsd) on Centos 8? yum install apcupsd does not find the package. I have the epel-release package installed.

Thanks for any help

Packages in EPEL are tracked via bugzilla.redhat.com in the Fedora EPEL section. You need to check there and see if there is an existing bz requesting apcupsd for el8 and if not present then create one.

When can we expect more packages in CentOS 8?
There are currently no acpupsd, hddtemp, uptimed and several other packages.

[TrevorH]

Those have never been in CentOS or RHEL. They all come from EPEL. The correct way to request packages from EPEL is via a bz on bugzilla.redhat.com in the Fedora EPEL section. Search first and see if there is already an open request and if not, raise one.

I think the project apcupsd was abandoned a while ago. I think most people these days have moved on to "nut" (https://networkupstools.org/). Maybe you'd like to give it a try?

I don't think this project is abandonned at all.

I try to install NUT but I have problem with pygtk2-libglade

Code: Select all

[root@server01 ~]# dnf install nut

Error:
 Problem: package nut-2.7.4-24.el8.x86_64 requires libupsclient.so.4()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
  - conflicting requests
  - nothing provides pygtk2-libglade needed by nut-client-2.7.4-24.el8.x86_64

On the bugzilla.redhat.com I find this

I installed CentOS 8 on my HP Microserver N36L with 4GB RAM. This is the server for Nextcloud, DLNA, http. I wonder if it would be better if I installed the system again, but in version 7. I don't know what will be better for me.

If it was me, I'll search into fedora 25 repos which works with a 4.13 kernel, then if available, download the package and then try the installation
with a
rpm -ivh apcupsd.x86_64.......rpm --test

and if not error is reported then install it for good (i-e without --test)

[edit]
you can find package apcupsd-3.14.14-2.fc25.x86_64.rpm
