TeslaMate is an open-source data logger and viewer for Tesla vehicles. It allows you to track your vehicle's data, including location, charging, and energy usage. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install TeslaMate on Fedora Server Latest in a few simple steps.
The first thing we need to do is install some dependencies required by TeslaMate. Open the terminal and run the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install curl git gzip nano wget unzip openssl-devel postgresql postgresql-server libpqxx libpqxx-devel libcurl libcurl-devel libxml2-devel libgcrypt-devel
You might be prompted to enter your user password to continue. Type it and press ENTER.
Once the installation is complete, we can move on to the next step.
Next, we need to clone the TeslaMate repository from GitHub using the git clone command. Run the following command to do that:
git clone https://github.com/adriankumpf/teslamate.git
In this case, we're cloning the repository to the current working directory.
Once the cloning process is complete, navigate to the cloned TeslaMate directory:
cd teslamate
TeslaMate comes with an installation script that simplifies the installation process. Run the following command to start the installation:
./bin/install
The script will prompt you to enter some information, such as the database connection string, your TeslaFi API access token, and the installation mode. Follow the prompts and enter the required information.
Note: Make sure you have created a PostgreSQL database before proceeding with the installation. You can create it using the following command:
sudo postgresql-setup initdb
The installation process may take a few minutes to complete. Once it's done, you can proceed to the next step.
After installation, start TeslaMate by running the following command:
./bin/start
This will start the TeslaMate service, and you can access the web interface by navigating to http://<your-server-IP>:4000 in your web browser.
That's it! You have successfully installed TeslaMate on your Fedora Server Latest system. You can now enjoy the features of TeslaMate, including tracking your Tesla vehicle's data, charging and energy usage, and more. If you encounter any issues during the installation, refer to the TeslaMate documentation for troubleshooting steps.
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!
