TeslaMate is an open-source, self-hosted data logger for Tesla vehicles. It allows Tesla owners to access and analyze their vehicle data, including real-time location tracking, charging sessions, and more. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing TeslaMate on Kali Linux Latest.
Before you can install TeslaMate on Kali Linux Latest, you will need to have the following:
Open your command line interface and navigate to the directory where you want to store the TeslaMate files. Then, clone the TeslaMate repository from GitHub by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/adriankumpf/teslamate.git
This will download the TeslaMate files to your local directory.
Navigate to the TeslaMate directory by running the following command:
cd teslamate
Next, copy the example configuration file to a new file named .env:
cp .env.example .env
Open the .env file using a text editor and edit the values to match your own Tesla account:
DATABASE_URL=postgres://teslamate:<your_postgres_password>@db/teslamate
DEFAULT_TESLA_EMAIL=<your_tesla_email>
DEFAULT_TESLA_PASSWORD=<your_tesla_password>
You should also change the default password for the TeslaMate web interface by setting the TESLAMATE_WEB_PASSWORD variable in the .env file:
TESLAMATE_WEB_PASSWORD=<your_web_password>
Save the file and close the text editor.
To build and run TeslaMate, navigate to the teslamate directory and run the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This will build the TeslaMate Docker container and start the server in the background. You can view the logs for the server by running:
docker-compose logs -f
You should see logs indicating that TeslaMate is running and fetching data from your vehicle.
Once TeslaMate is running, you can access the web interface by opening a web browser and going to http://localhost:4000. The default username is admin and the password is the value you set for TESLAMATE_WEB_PASSWORD in the .env file.
TeslaMate is now installed and running on your Kali Linux Latest system. You can now access your Tesla vehicle data through the web interface and start analyzing it to your heart's content!
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!
