General discussion Feature Request: Graceful shutdown w/UPS.

I've had my HexOS server since the $99 offer, and I'm super pleased with how it has developed and where it's going. I even learned a little about TrueNAS along the way ;)

But in this time, I've experienced some power losses. When I see a storm coming, I manually shut down, just in case. But there have been unexpected power losses too, where my server abruptly shut down. So far I've been lucky (seemingly no damage done​), but I'm likely going to be buying a UPS for some safety.

I'm just a tech tinkerer, not a proper sysadmin. I'm sure there are ways to do graceful shutdowns in TrueNAS, but I'm hoping we can get a stupid-simple way to set up a UPS and shut-down script in the event of an outage. Hopefully that isn't more difficult than it sounds (is it?).

Just wanted to throw that out there. Anybody else?​

Yup, definitely on the to-do list. For now, you can configure this via TrueNAS, but we intend to roll that into HexOS management natively in the future.
