TeslaMate is an open-source data logger and viewer for Tesla vehicles. It allows Tesla owners to gather detailed data about their vehicles and view it in a user-friendly interface. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install TeslaMate on OpenSUSE Latest using GitHub.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
TeslaMate requires several dependencies in order to run properly. We need to install these dependencies before we can start installing TeslaMate. Open a terminal on your computer and run the following commands:
sudo zypper install -y git make gcc postgresql postgresql-server
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo systemctl start postgresql
The first command installs the required dependencies, while the second command enables the PostgreSQL server, and the third command starts the PostgreSQL server.
Clone the TeslaMate repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/adriankumpf/teslamate.git
Change to the TeslaMate directory with the following command:
cd teslamate
Now, run the following command to start the installation:
make
The installation may take several minutes.
Once the installation is complete, you should see a message indicating that TeslaMate has been installed successfully.
Now, we need to configure TeslaMate to work with your Tesla vehicle.
First, create a new database for TeslaMate using the following command:
sudo -u postgres createdb teslamate
Next, create a new user and give the user permission to access the teslamate database:
sudo -u postgres createuser -P teslamate
sudo -u postgres psql -c 'grant all privileges on database teslamate to teslamate;'
You will be prompted to enter a password for the teslamate user.
Next, copy the example configuration file and edit it to match your configuration:
cp env.example .env
nano .env
Change the values of the following variables according to your setup:
HTTP_USERNAME=your_http_username
HTTP_PASSWORD=your_http_password
DATABASE_URL=postgres://teslamate:your_db_password@localhost/teslamate
Save and close the file once you're done.
To start TeslaMate, run the following command:
make start
This will start TeslaMate in the background. You can then access TeslaMate by opening your browser and navigating to http://localhost:4000.
