Docker install

This document provides the necessary steps for installation of TeslaMate on a any system that runs Docker. For a walkthrough that provides the necessary steps for manual installation see Manual Install.

This setup is recommended only if you are running TeslaMate on your home network, as otherwise your Tesla API tokens might be at risk. If you intend to expose TeslaMate directly to the internet check out the advanced guides.

Requirements

• Docker (if you are new to Docker, see Installing Docker and Docker Compose)
• A Machine that's always on, so TeslaMate can continually fetch data
• At least 1 GB of RAM on the machine for the installation to succeed.
• External internet access, to talk to tesla.com

Instructions

1. Create a file called docker-compose.yml with the following content:

   docker-compose.yml

   version: "3"
   
   services:
     teslamate:
       image: teslamate/teslamate:latest
       restart: always
       environment:
         - ENCRYPTION_KEY= #insert a secure key to encrypt your Tesla API tokens
         - DATABASE_USER=teslamate
         - DATABASE_PASS= #insert your secure database password!
         - DATABASE_NAME=teslamate
         - DATABASE_HOST=database
         - MQTT_HOST=mosquitto
       ports:
         - 4000:4000
       volumes:
         - ./import:/opt/app/import
       cap_drop:
         - all
   
     database:
       image: postgres:15
       restart: always
       environment:
         - POSTGRES_USER=teslamate
         - POSTGRES_PASSWORD= #insert your secure database password!
         - POSTGRES_DB=teslamate
       volumes:
         - teslamate-db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
   
     grafana:
       image: teslamate/grafana:latest
       restart: always
       environment:
         - DATABASE_USER=teslamate
         - DATABASE_PASS= #insert your secure database password!
         - DATABASE_NAME=teslamate
         - DATABASE_HOST=database
       ports:
         - 3000:3000
       volumes:
         - teslamate-grafana-data:/var/lib/grafana
   
     mosquitto:
       image: eclipse-mosquitto:2
       restart: always
       command: mosquitto -c /mosquitto-no-auth.conf
       # ports:
       #   - 1883:1883
       volumes:
         - mosquitto-conf:/mosquitto/config
         - mosquitto-data:/mosquitto/data
   
   volumes:
     teslamate-db:
     teslamate-grafana-data:
     mosquitto-conf:
     mosquitto-data:

2. Choose a secure encryption key that will be used to encrypt your Tesla API tokens (insert as ENCRYPTION_KEY).

3. Choose your secure database password and insert it at every occurrence of DATABASE_PASS and POSTGRES_PASSWORD

4. Start the docker containers with docker compose up. To run the containers in the background add the -d flag:

   docker compose up -d

Usage

1. Open the web interface http://your-ip-address:4000
2. Sign in with your Tesla account
3. The Grafana dashboards are available at http://your-ip-address:3000. Log in with the default user admin (initial password admin) and enter a secure password.

Update

To update the running TeslaMate configuration to the latest version, run the following commands:

docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
