Google Cloud have advised me to update from 18.04 to 20.04 LTS. I would be ok starting a new instance from start but I am completely lost updating without loosing my data.
I presume you're already backing up your data to somewhere other than your cloud instance?
If not, start here Backup and Restore | TeslaMate
There might be a GUI way from gCloud. Never used it.
I am new to Tesla with the addition of a MYLR about a month ago. I discovered teslamate yesterday.
I plan to install teslamate on my homeserver. A few questions before I start:
1. This home server goes to sleep after a period of of inactivity. Does teslamate require the home server to be on 24x7? Or is it sufficient to turn it on once a day for the MY to stream the data?
2. Can docker & teslamate be installed on a Raspberry Pi 1 Model B with only 512MB DRAM? I have one of the RPI1 running my music server & pihole ad blocker. Wondering if I can add docker and teslamate

Yes. The data is streamed live from the Tesla server. So the data would be lost anytime that TeslaMate isn't up and running.
Raspberry pi 1b · Issue #160 · teslamate-org/teslamate
Would this also work on a rapberry pi 1b? I have some collecting dust, so this would be a great application. Also how big is the data that is collected?

I feel like it would work, but might get a little questionable as the db grows. My pi4 isn't always the fastest, I'd guess that it'd be even more sluggish on a 1 with limited RAM.
I am ok to invest in newer hardware, but i already have existing older hardware that already runs a few useful applications. I am ok to run with some sluggishness and I am willing to put up with required debug etc.
But if it really overwhelms the older hardware, I will certainly get a newer RPI.

Good luck with that - RPIs are sold out everywhere due to component shortages. Might be sorted in the autumn
Hmm. I was able to successfully install docker on the RPI1 using instructions linked from the teslamate docs page. I successfully ran the hello-world example. Why do you say docker won't run on the RPI1?
I haven't tried installing teslamate yet.

Good point. Thats even more reason to try and install on my existing RPi1.
Just going by what was said in that linked page:
I don't think docker runs on raspi 1 (some cpu features missing). But don't take it for granted
you should be able to make in run "on metal", though. You may also hit memory size.
Fair point. You could always migrate to something else. Probably component shortages will have subsided by the time you'll have a large enough DB to care about it.
Supposedly it will get better in the second half of the year.

You are in THIS thread, so I assume this is not relevant
... but just in case:TeslaFi records data in cloud, so doesn't require you to be running anything. You can download it (if you want to do something with it), or use TeslaFi as an alterative (depending on appetite for giving someone else keys-to-car and so on). I can see when the driver seat heater has been on since the day I bought the car ... and on the one before that.
or run teslamate on google's free cloud and have the same just minus appYou are in THIS thread, so I assume this is not relevant
