TeslaMate [megathread]
- Thread starter Roy W.
- Start date
See the other two threads in this forum on this topic, but in short - if you're running Teslamate from your home it's working fine.
There are only Tesla API problems for people hosting applications inside Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Amazon AWS.

I imported everything from TeslaFi to Teslamate and never looked back.
After last nights TeslaFi outage, I've just ordered a Pi4 starter kit for around £70.
I'll look forward to reading through all 34 pages of this thread and using the helpful guide on:
How to install TeslaMate on a Raspberry Pi without using a monitor - TeslaEV.co.uk

I can see there might be a shortage of Pi4s coming up...
After some farting around, I've got TeslaMate running and working on a Digital Ocean 'Droplet' ($5 per month).
To get this running, you'll need to sign up for Digital Ocean - Signing up on this referral link: https://m.do.co/c/506805040c1f gives you $100 credit and me $25 credit
When you first sign up, complete your details and payment method etc.. you get presented this screen:
Click 'Docker app' then click next, you can then choose your local data centre and OS, I left everything apart from data centre location (choose London) then created the box.
The password you choose when creating this box will be your SSH password, so make a note of it!
Once this step is done, you can follow my Google Cloud guide from the 'Docker Compose install' section onwards.
Once setup, you can SFTP into the box IP address, root for the username, whatever password you set and copy over your last backup file, then follow the restore section of the TM backup/restore guide: Backup and Restore | TeslaMate
You'll need to re-setup the automated backups if you had them in place.

Thanks for this. Set this up and everything starts fine. Backup restored fine as well. However I am unable to login with my Tesla account. Anything special with Traefik?

Issue resolved. I reset my .htpasswd file and all is ok now. Thanks!
I've put together the guide in one place now
https://www.teslaev.co.uk/how-to-setup-and-run-teslamate-on-a-digital-ocean-droplet-server/
The restore step is fairly painless, it's all working on mine at the moment, I've reinstalled the automated backup and monitoring too.

Nice write up mate! I've more or less done the same thing but have my backups going to backblaze B2. One other thing I'd suggest is installing the latest patches on the DO instance:
1) apt list --upgradeable
2) apt upgrade
Good shout, I’ll stick that in there at some point over the weekend
The Google Drive backup solution does work well, good for free too

Yeah sure and I'm not knocking it (although I avoid Google for personal privacy reasons). I already use Backblaze B2 for other S3 like needs. So it was a no brainer for me. And it's super cheap compared to Amazon S3.
I’ve heard that Backblaze is great for backing up your entire machine, something in need to checkout at some point!
