Thanks for the quick replies, this is encouraging! I suppose the first part is easy for almost all users: try to deploy both toolkits side by side, and constructively complain about what is missing :) e.g. in that https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/3301 ticket.
I understand the configuration methods may differ and cause some friction, and that is mostly to be accepted with migration to a different toolkit - new house, new rules. The more interesting part is about missing data points, device/protocol/media support, clients, tools (e.g. is there one to push firmwares to UPSes?) etc. I've now posted a starter page on Wiki about this: https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Migrating-from-apcupsd-to-NUT and would welcome the first explorers to update it with factual suggestions about the migration ("In apcupsd-land we did this, and for NUT a similar concept/setup looks like this"). NOTE: It may be problematic to install both toolkits side-by-side with packaging on some systems allowing only one of the UPS management implementations, but it is recommended to build the recent NUT master branch anyway to try the newest features (and debug-ability ever growing), e.g. following instructions from https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/wiki/Building-NUT-for-in%E2%80%90place-upgrades-or-non%E2%80%90disruptive-tests and platform-specific prerequisites linked from there. I'll be largely offline for a couple of weeks from mid-February, but hope other NUT community members can help out when questions arise. And we have a ton of documentation collected over the almost three decades... it might be a bit hard to dig through all of it, but hopefully most answers are out there somewhere. One starting point is https://networkupstools.org/documentation.html and the https://github.com/networkupstools/ConfigExamples/releases/latest/download/ConfigExamples.pdf book :) Hope this helps, Jim Klimov
