<h1>Electrical Failover (basic UPS setup) </h1>
|
|
<b>Threat Model:</b>
|
|
<p>What if an adversary tells your electricity provider to temporarily power off your electricity to check if it manages to shut down a particular hidden service ? How do you ensure that your hidden service running at home remains accessible even without the main electrical input ?</p>
|
|
<img src="0.png" style="width:250px">
|
|
<p>In this tutorial we'll look at the most fundamental part of both Disaster Recovery Planning and Business Continuity for home servers. We'll look at how to deal with power outages. </p>
|
|
<img src="1.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
<p>For the Electrical Outages, we'll setup a UPS in between our homeserver and the main electrical input, so that in case of a power outage the home server can keep running for a while before finally shutting down. The UPS will then send a message to the Network UPS Tools suite to tell the server to shutdown when the batteries run low. </p>

<h2><b>Electrical Outages - UPS setup </b></h2>
|
|
<p>Before buying a UPS, you need to know how much your home server can draw power (in watts), to make it simple just look at your power supply in your Homeserver. Mine is a RM 750x:</p>
|
|
<img src="2.png" style="width:250px">
|
|
<p>and as explained in the technical specs, it can draw up to 750 Watts of power:</p>
|
|
<img src="3.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
<p>So you need a UPS that can generate at least 750 Watts of power, such as the APC Back-UPS 1600VA:</p>
|
|
<img src="4.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
<p>For my usecase, i picked that one because it can power my homeserver with the 900Watts it can output. Perfect for my server that can draw 750Watts.</p>
|
|
<p>First make sure your homeserver's plugged onto the UPS which is plugged onto the main electrical source. Then power on the homeserver, and after it booted, connect the serial to usb cable from the UPS to the homeserver, and you'll see it appear like so:</p>

|
|
<p>And now we can browse it from the web on port 80: the url is: <b>http://192.168.0.100/cgi-bin/nut/upsstats.cgi?host=apc-ups@localhost&treemode</b> </p>
|
|
<img src="6.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
<p>we can see the following graph to know the Battery Charge, Voltage, Input and Load:</p>
|
|
<img src="7.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
<p>And for more details you can see the data tree:</p>
|

<img src="8.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
<p>Now let's test if it works by unplugging the main electrical source:</p>
|
|
<img src="11.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
<p>First thing you'll notice is the UPS starting to do a loud beep every 3 seconds, but you can see it in action from the web interface:</p>
|
|
<img src="9.png" class="imgRz">
|
|
<p>Here as you can see the UPS is working on battery, and slowly the charge is being drained from 100% (now at 97% after 5 minutes) Of course it's being drained slowly due to being on a low load (18% currently), meaning it could last another 20 minutes of electrical outage easily.</p>
