TeslaMate is an open-source self-hosted data logger for Tesla vehicles. In this tutorial, we will see how to install TeslaMate on Arch Linux.
The first step is to clone the TeslaMate repository from GitHub. To do that, open a terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/adriankumpf/teslamate.git && cd teslamate
Before running the installation script, it is necessary to create an environment file for TeslaMate. To create the environment file, run the following command:
cp .env.example .env
Then, open the .env file with your favorite text editor and set the required environment variables. Replace the default values with your own credentials:
DATABASE_URL=postgres://teslamate:password@db:5432/teslamate
TESLAMATE_HOST=0.0.0.0
TESLAMATE_SECRET=
TESLA_CLIENT_ID=
TESLA_CLIENT_SECRET=
TESLA_USERNAME=
TESLA_PASSWORD=
TESLA_ACCESS_TOKEN=
Once the environment file is configured, it is time to run the installation script. The installation script will set up the required services and create the database tables. To run the installation script, use the following command:
./teslamate install
The installation script may take some time to complete.
Once the installation script completes, you can start TeslaMate using the following command:
./teslamate start
TeslaMate is now running on your Arch Linux machine. You can access the TeslaMate dashboard by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:4000.
In this tutorial, we have seen how to install TeslaMate on Arch Linux. Now you can use TeslaMate to collect data from your Tesla vehicle and analyze it with the TeslaMate dashboard.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
