Docker - Step-by-step installation guide (simple/advanced, SSL, PW and Tasker App) - DigitalOcean #180

Closed spacecosmos closed 5 years ago

spacecosmos commented 5 years ago

I made a step-by-step guide on how to install it on a Docker virtual machine at DigitalOcean. Both with SSL and password protection and the "easy setup" without any extra features.

You can find it here: (https://satheesh.net/2019/09/28/teslamate-digitalocean-docker-step-by-step-installation-guide/)

Please let me know if something is missing or anything can be done differently - cheers!

A shout out to both @adriankumpf and @helmi for doing such a stellar job!

adriankumpf commented 5 years ago

Wow, thank you! I added it to the list of community guides.

spacecosmos commented 5 years ago

Thank you, glad to help out!

BTW @adriankumpf, is there a Grafana desktop template available? (I'm too lazy to make my own...)

I'm sure someone else also would like this as well. Since the learning curve on Grafana can be quite steep.

What do you mean by "Grafana desktop template"?

What do you mean by "Grafana desktop template"?

@adriankumpf I'm sorry, I haven't used Grafana before this. But what I meant was gathering different values (Charges, Drives, Charging Stats, etc) in one view. (Instead of switching from one to another.)

Also, is there a way to have multiple logins or Tesla-accounts to the same Docker installation?

As an example I want to connect my parents Model 3 with TeslaMates. As their car is in another account than my car, it would be nice to have multiple logins to each accounts. But using the same installation, instead of having me buying a separate Droplet (virtual machine) just for my parents needs.

What I'm basically asking for is if it's possible to host my own Tesla-logger service for multiple accounts without having separate installations and servers?

Or maybe I should put this as a suggestion for future releases? :)

This is a feature I'd gladly accept as a PR ;)

You don't necessarily need two droplets for that. You'd basically need to extend the docker-compose file to have two teslamate and two postgres services. Then expose both on different (sub)domains.

I'm sorry to seem like a total idiot here, but could you please give me an example for the Docker compose-file? And do you mean having a different (sub)domains or not? (I was a bit confused by the "than" word in the beginning of your sentence.)

Having a login/logout button would be awesome to have btw. It would also be great if multiple people than could log in an get their car(s) status up. A multiuser system basically.

Sorry again for being such a noob. All of this is very new to me. I know Apache, NGINX and HTML/PHP, WordPress and those things. But not a single thing about Docker images etc. I'm very grateful for the help and support you give here! :)

adriankumpf commented 5 years ago

The thing is, implementing a multi-user system is quite complex and only useful for very few people. I'd rather spend my time doing something else tbh :)

adriankumpf commented 5 years ago

If you can create subdomains, one domain would be enough. If I find the time I'll try to come up with an example config.

spacecosmos commented 5 years ago

I totally understand and actually agree. Really looking forward to the new releases going forward!

When you get time, please do give me some examples for the Docker compose-file.

Keep up the great work! :)

spacecosmos commented 5 years ago

Updated the guide to include the Tasker App setup as well. Thank you all for helping out! 💯 https://satheesh.net/2019/09/28/teslamate-digitalocean-docker-step-by-step-installation-guide/

detritu5 commented 4 years ago

maybe it being very useful to have an example to have two teslamate,two grafana in different ports on the same docker-compose.yml

shassinger commented 4 years ago

guide worked great for me thank you!
