TeslaMate VS DietPi

The graphs linked above were generated by a self-hosted application called TeslaMate, which connects to the Tesla API and harvest data as you drive, so I've got fairly extensive "health stats" for the Tesla I've owned. TeslaScope is a cloud based equivalent, which is cheap, and I also use, but mainly as a backup to my TeslaMate instance.

Interesting, that would work. I didn't know teslafi can CONTROL the car. I'm using teslaMate, which is basically read-only.

I use this https://github.com/adriankumpf/teslamate

Does anyone have experience with a self-hosted solution? Something like TeslaMate or TeslaLogger?

So Tesla drivers have TeslaMate which is a self-hosted data logger for their car's trip data. Anyone aware of anyone building a version of this for our EV6s? The Kia Connect infrastructure claims to have an API. Would be cool to develop something like this for us.

I just referred to a couple of legs from my trip from Sydney to Adelaide with the pod on (using Teslamate) and compared it to another more recent one without the pod on. The last of the three will probably give the best example as it is while driving the Hay Plain which is one of the most boring, flat roads you could imagine. It was during the COVID lockdowns so basically no traffic either.

DietPi is a lightweight Debian based Linux distribution for SBCs and server systems, with the option to install desktop environments, too. It ships as minimal image but allows to install complete and ready-to-use software stacks with a set of console based shell dialogs and scripts.

The source code is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi

That's a good point, but the array of devices supported by the DietPi team is extensive: https://dietpi.com/

Before someone starts the usual yadda yadda about the RPi biger community, the OS not having long time support etc. I would repeat one more time: do not rely on board vendor supplied images; this is valid for pretty much all boards. Just go to Armbian or DietPi pages and you'll almost certainly find one or more images that work on your board and forums to discuss about them with very knowledgeable people.

Those projects are well worth a contribution, as they don't have a giant like Broadcom behind them.

> bananapi do a lot of boards but their software story has been a bit poor

This is quite common with other board manufacturers too. I'd rather suggest to ignore completely their cobbled together distros, often also tainted by proprietary modifications, that become unmaintained in a few years, and see if they're among the many supported by Armbian or DietPi.

RPi OS = diet pi https://dietpi.com/ - initial config via text file - SDcard burning out partially mitigated as writes log files to ram then flushes to SDcard reducing write cycles

You could also try very minimalistic distros like TwisterUI or DietPi which are most known for their use in the RasprebbyPi / SBC computers but which also have editions for desktop / laptop.
