Roger, I don't have any experience with the Raspberry Pi 4, but previous RPi models would just boot as soon as power is applied, so I'm guessing this is more of a problem starting NUT at boot.

Gene, assuming this is a "standalone" setup (upsd, driver, and upsmon on the same system). If so, I'd recommend using "LISTEN 127.0.0.1" if you don't need network access (e.g. upsc or other monitoring software on another box), or "LISTEN 0.0.0.0" to listen on all local network interfaces.

If the LISTEN line is't the culprit, I'd recommend posting the output of "systemctl status nut-server.service" after boot to see why it didn't start (or more likely, stay running after starting).
