Should it be possible to run TeslaSolarCharger BLE API on same RPi

Describe the problem

Hi guys.

As Tesla changed their API a few weeks ago, TeslaSolarCharger has a few problems. There is now a BLE API which requires eg a RPi.

Should it be possible to run this docker container on teslausb?

thanks!

Since / is mounted as read-only, docker fails to start due to few directories being non-writable.

You would need to create separate partition for writable data, mount it on top of read-only system, mount --bind subdirectories into appropriate locations and running docker image should be possible.

If you know which directories need to be writeable, you can either mount a tmpfs on them (for data that doesn't need to be preserved across reboots), or symlink them to folders in /mutable (for data that does need to be preserved)

What a great idea. Many (including me) need to find an alternative to managing charging amps to utililze excess solar using BLE instead of the old API. I’m willing to collaborate/test to the extent of my abilities.
