Dockerized Python script that will send data from apcupsd to influxdb.

This is a fork of https://github.com/atribe/apcupsd-influxdb-exporter to add InfluxDB 2.x support.

• This still works as-is, but due to influxDB's terrible way of managing v1->v2->v3, I've decided to stop maintaining this altogether.
• Trying to move away from InfluxDB, using greptimeDB as replacement, and prometheus exports / gRPC whenever possible.
• You can check out my Rust Prometheus Export here - https://github.com/xNinjaKittyx/rsapcupsdexporter
  • Ram consumption 30 MB -> 8 MB
  • Docker image size is very small. ~2 MB

docker run --rm  -d --name="pyapcupsdexporter" \
    -e "WATTS=600" \
    -e "INFLUX_URL=http://10.0.1.11:8086" \
    -e "INFLUX_TOKEN=asdflkajwse;orfiajsdklfjaskl==" \
    -e "INFLUX_ORG=my-org" \
    -e "APCUPSD_HOST=10.0.1.11" \
    -t ghcr.io/xNinjaKittyx/pyapcupsdexporter

Note: if your UPS does not include the NOMPOWER metric, you will need to include the WATTS environment variable in order to compute the live-power consumption metric.

version: '3'
services:
  pyapcupsdexporter:
    image: ghcr.io/xninjakittyx/pyapcupsdexporter
    container_name: apcupsd-influxdb-exporter
    restart: always
    environment:
      WATTS: 1500 # if your ups doesn't have NOMPOWER, set this to be the rated max power, if you do have NOMPOWER, don't set this variable
      APCUPSD_HOST: 10.0.1.11  # Host running APCUPSD
      INFLUX_URL: http://10.0.1.11:8086  # URL of the InfluxDB instance
      INFLUX_ORG: my-org  # ORG Associated with your influx bucket.
      INFLUX_TOKEN:  # Token associated with your influx instance/org
      INFLUX_BUCKET: apcupsd
      INTERVAL: 5
      VERBOSE: true

If you want to debug the apcaccess output or the send to influxdb, set the environment variable "VERBOSE" to "true"

Building the image is straight forward:

• Git clone this repo
• docker compose -f docker-compose.yml build
• docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up

These are all the available environment variables, along with some example values, and a description.

With the changes to InfluxDB 2.0, this currently requires you to have an ORG + Token setup instead of the base username/password.

Contributions are welcome. I will try my best to review it as soon as possible.
