TeslaMate is an open-source self-hosted monitoring and data logging tool for Tesla cars. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps on how to install TeslaMate on Debian.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose
First, clone the TeslaMate repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/adriankumpf/teslamate.git
After cloning, change the directory to the teslamate directory:
cd teslamate
Next, create a copy of the .env.example file and name it .env:
cp .env.example .env
Then, open the .env file using your preferred text editor:
nano .env
In the .env file, configure the values based on your environment. Replace the your_tesla_token_here value with your Tesla OAuth token. You can also configure other values such as the timezone, port numbers, and SSL certificates.
After configuring the .env file, start TeslaMate using Docker Compose:
docker-compose up -d
Docker Compose will download and build the necessary Docker images and start the TeslaMate container. The -d option runs the container in the background.
Once the container is running, you can access TeslaMate using your web browser. By default, TeslaMate runs on port 4000.
http://your_server_ip:4000
You can log in using the default credentials:
admin@teslamate.orgsecretAfter logging in, you can add your Tesla car by clicking the Cars menu and then clicking Add Car. You will be prompted to enter your Tesla email and password.
Congratulations! You have now installed TeslaMate on Debian. You can now monitor and log your Tesla car data on your self-hosted server.
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!
