I've got a HP Elitedesk 800 G5 with Core i7 CPU and 32 GB Ram. How do you guys handle load shedding situation? I have a mini ups for the Router and ONU and a 650V one for the mini pc. I don't think it will give me more than 20 minutes backup. Should I gracefully shutdown after 10-15 minutes when electricity is gone and automatically boot up when electricity is back?

Some (most?) UPSs have a way for them to communicate to the PC so that the PC can automatically cleanly shutdown. You should look into that if its available on your UPS.
@ml @selfhosted yes, definitely. There's no other way really :)
Yes.
UPSes are to bridge gaps in short outages, either mains blips or the gap between the mains going out and the generator coming online. Do not rely on them for extended runtime.

There can be a period after graceful shutdown where the UPS is still running and the server will not restart if mains power comes back on. Not a likely scenario, but for apps you can’t afford to have down it’s something to consider.
