The sonnen-data-logger is a Spring Boot application that retrieves status data from a sonnenBatterie and persists it in a mongodb.
The easiest way to start the data logger is through docker compose.
The git respsitory contains example configurations and scripts in src/main/linux.
That directory also contains a README that contains the steps to follow.
To start the docker data-logger application you need a mongo db. Either you have an existing instance that you can connecto to or you can start up a docker mongo db.
If you want to start a docker mongo db you have to make sure that the data-logger can access the mongo db. Therefore they should be in the same network. To achieve this you should create a network first.
docker network create sonnen-net
Startup a mongo db connected to the network
docker run -d --name sonnen-db --network=sonnen-net -p "27017:27017" -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=root -e MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=example mongo:4.4.13
The data-logger is a Spring Boot application and needs an application.properties file to configure it.
You can use this template and edit the spring.sonnen properties at the top.
spring.sonnen.api-url=<EDIT_ME>
spring.sonnen.api-token=<EDIT_ME>
# Do not start tomcat. We only want to execute a rest client application.
spring.main.web-application-type=none
#logging.pattern.console=
spring.main.banner-mode=off
spring.data.mongodb.host=sonnen-db
spring.data.mongodb.authentication-database=admin
spring.data.mongodb.username=root
spring.data.mongodb.password=example
spring.data.mongodb.database=sonnen
Now you can start the data-logger:
docker run -d --name data-logger --network=sonnen-net -v $pwd/application.properties:/application.properties linkintersystems/sonnen-data-logger:latest -s PT10.000S
If you need a web gui you can also start mongo express
docker run -d --name sonnen-db-browser -p 8081:8081 --network=sonnen-net -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINUSERNAME=root -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_ADMINPASSWORD=example -e ME_CONFIG_MONGODB_URL=mongodb://root:example@sonnen-db:27017/ mongo-express
