I recently released v1.0 of TeslaMate, a self-hosted data logger. It can be easily setup on a Raspberry Pi, Synology NAS or any cloud/home server.

Which installation method did you choose? You can either run the teslamate/grafana docker container or import everything manually. The dashboard files can be found here: adriankumpf/teslamate

I don't have a Synology NAS myself but someone wrote down the necessary steps here: BRAVO! Working on my Synology NAS in minutes! · Issue #78 · adriankumpf/teslamate Hope that helps.

There's a good reason (one we may not really know) for this occurring (data logging service companies and apps popping up). Personally, I don't like the privacy aspect of it (or lack thereof), even though the reports are cool (all "services")…. For this reason, I will just look at other's data via the fleet reports/statistics that these companies provide.
This privacy aspect is the whole reason I build this! The code is open source; one can run this software on own hardware and not data is being shared with a third party.

Okay, but why did you build it, out of the goodness of your heart? If so, Kudos to you for helping others.
Well, I just felt like starting a new project. Now that it's open source everyone can contribute which makes it better for all of us.
I installed it on a pi 3 with Docker. The manual install isn’t really working properly but docker works fine once you can get docker on the Pi (easier said than done).
Great work, I like it but have a few requests:
Is there a way to put the dashboards behind a password on grafana? I’m not even sure how to log in versus a standalone installed grafana (outside of docker).
Any way to see instantaneous data like speed and charging voltage/current? Sort of like what the Tesla-apiscraper project elsewhere here.
Also can I put multiple panels on one screen?
Also any way to add kWh rate to calculate costs?
I admit I’m not that familiar with grafana.
But the best part I like is the history. I travel and get miles reimbursed so I need to document my trips. This works really well.

This looks fantastic! I'd love to get off my subscription logger and host my own data. I'm terrible with Linux, although I've tinkered in the past with ubuntu and made a retro-pi machine. The Git-hub installation instructions are not nearly baby/dummy steps enough for me. Alternatively is it possible to get a raspberry pi SD card image of this, and then just edit some variables for our login credentials? Or does it not work that way? Or maybe a baby step by step installation on the QNAP NAS?
And it appears to be working well. My only suggestions are...
1) Include the docker-compose.yml file in the repo itself
2) Add emphasis to the environment variables, and perhaps remove the ones that don't really matter (db username, instance name, etc) - to leave to the new user only the ones that really matter.
Those are great suggestions!
OP Great utility and thank you for putting in this excellent work!
Im running ubuntu. Thoughts on how to make this start on startup? I was thinking a crontab but was wondering if you had any suggestions
Im willing to make a vmware virtual machine if anyone is interested. Heck I could even do a pi image.
If anyone is interested let me know
On a side note: If you have a spare computer, I recommend installing vmware esxi. Once you go this route, youll never use raspberry pis again.

Thank you!
Authentication is not part of this this project. When exposing Teslamate to the internet I recommend the use a "reverse-proxy". I'll need to write a guide on how to do this. But I haven't had time for this yet. If you just want to password protect Grafana, sign in with the default credentials and change the user password. Afterwards set the env variable " GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED" to false.
Someone already started working on dashboard that is similar to the Tesla-apiscraper. But I mostly want to keep instantaneous and historical data separate (web UI vs Grafana). I'll add charging voltage/current to the web UI.
There is no way to add kWh rate yet.
There is a Github Issue where someone explained how to do that: BRAVO! Working on my Synology NAS in minutes! · Issue #78 · adriankumpf/teslamate
