evcc-with-grafana

Docker setup to run evcc with time series database and grafana. evcc, InfluxDB and Grafana should be already connected but need configuration for the local network.

Setup

To setup create a file .env in this repo and call make install-podman and make install-service. For automatic startups the user needs to be automatically logged in at startup. At the Raspberry PI this can be done using raspi-config.

.env must define the following environment variables:

• GRAFANA_USERNAME
• GRAFANA_PASSWORD
• VICTORIAMETRICS_USER
• VICTORIAMETRICS_PASSWORD

Howto development versions of evcc

Patch docker-compose.yml

git apply own-build.patch

Then build evcc and rebuild the container. Make sure that the base image version in evcc-own-build.Dockerfile approximately matches that of the code (nightly version or release).

cd evcc
devcontainer up --workspace-folder .
devcontainer exec --workspace-folder . bash
make build
exit
cp evcc ../evcc-with-grafana/evcc-bin
systemctl --user stop evcc-with-grafana
podman rmi localhost/evcc-with-grafana_evcc:latest
systemctl --user start evcc-with-grafana
