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
  • 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:
    - DATABASE_USER=teslamate
    - DATABASE_PASS=secret
    - DATABASE_NAME=teslamate
    - DATABASE_HOST=database
    - MQTT_HOST=mosquitto
    ports:
    - 4000:4000
    volumes:
    - ./import:/opt/app/import
    cap_drop:
    - all
    database:
    image: postgres:13
    restart: always
    environment:
    - POSTGRES_USER=teslamate
    - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secret
    - POSTGRES_DB=teslamate
    volumes:
    - teslamate-db:/var/lib/postgresql/data
    grafana:
    image: teslamate/grafana:latest
    restart: always
    environment:
    - DATABASE_USER=teslamate
    - DATABASE_PASS=secret
    - DATABASE_NAME=teslamate
    - DATABASE_HOST=database
    ports:
    - 3000:3000
    volumes:
    - teslamate-grafana-data:/var/lib/grafana
    mosquitto:
    image: eclipse-mosquitto:1.6
    restart: always
    ports:
    - 1883:1883
    volumes:
    - mosquitto-conf:/mosquitto/config
    - mosquitto-data:/mosquitto/data
    volumes:
    teslamate-db:
    teslamate-grafana-data:
    mosquitto-conf:
    mosquitto-data:

  2. 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.

Update#

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

docker-compose pull
docker-compose up -d
