This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing TeslaMate on FreeBSD Latest. TeslaMate is a self-hosted data logger for Tesla vehicles, which supports tracking of various metrics such as battery status, charging information, and location data.
Before you begin the installation process, you should ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Firstly, you need to clone the TeslaMate repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/adriankumpf/teslamate.git
Next, you need to configure the environment variables for TeslaMate. These variables can be found in the .env.example file, which you need to rename to .env and modify to suit your requirements. You can do this using the following command:
cd teslamate
cp .env.example .env
nano .env
Note that you should modify the following variables in the .env file:
SENTRY_DSN - This variable enables error reporting via Sentry. Leave it blank if you don't want to use it.DATABASE_URL - This variable configures the database connection URL. You can use SQLite or PostgreSQL.REDIS_URL - This variable configures the Redis connection URL for caching.After configuring the environment variables, you can build and start the TeslaMate container using the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
Once the container is up and running, you can access TeslaMate by opening a web browser and navigating to http://<your_server_ip>:4000. You can then sign in using your Tesla account credentials and start tracking various metrics related to your Tesla vehicle.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed TeslaMate on FreeBSD Latest. You can now start tracking your Tesla vehicle's various metrics by using the web interface provided by TeslaMate.
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!
