- MongoDB replaced by InfluxDB 2 (one bucket, installationId tag). Consumption is stored per chunk at its recordedAt and summed on read, so a chunk the car re-sends from its cache overwrites itself instead of being counted twice ($inc did count it twice). Lifetime is a running total derived on read. - POST /v1/telemetry takes batches of samples in ABRP's tlm fields; every field is bounded, unknown fields are dropped, unread signals stay absent. - After a successful write the newest fresh sample is forwarded to ABRP with ABRP_API_KEY / ABRP_USER_TOKEN from the server environment; rate limited, never queued. The car no longer needs ABRP credentials. - Self-hosting: standalone output, Dockerfile (tests run in the build, runs as UID 10001), .env.example and README for the new setup. - Dev shell gains Node 22 and InfluxDB 2. Verified locally against InfluxDB 2.7.12: all endpoints, retry idempotency, and the dashboard pages. Unit tests: 17 pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Nils' MG4 — car server
|
|
|
|
Next.js app, self-hosted at car.stinnesbeck.com: the ingest API the car writes to, the ABRP
|
|
forwarder, and a phone-shaped dashboard for reading the history back. Data lives in
|
|
InfluxDB 2. Based on upstream's Vercel/MongoDB app in FatihsMG4.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
car ──live telemetry───▶ server ──▶ ABRP api.iternio.com/1/tlm/send
|
|
──daily chunks─────▶ │
|
|
──charging sessions▶ ▼
|
|
InfluxDB 2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Credentials
|
|
|
|
| | Who holds it | What it opens |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `INGEST_TOKEN` | the car, entered in the app | the write endpoints, and the car's own history read |
|
|
| `DASHBOARD_PASSWORD` | you, in a browser | the dashboard and the `GET /v1/history` reads |
|
|
| `ABRP_API_KEY`, `ABRP_USER_TOKEN` | only the server | forwarding live telemetry to ABRP |
|
|
|
|
The ABRP credentials never reach the car. A missing or empty one switches forwarding off.
|
|
|
|
## Environment variables
|
|
|
|
See `.env.example`. In Kubernetes they come from the Secret in `../k8s/`.
|
|
|
|
| Name | Notes |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `INFLUX_URL`, `INFLUX_TOKEN`, `INFLUX_ORG`, `INFLUX_BUCKET` | bucket defaults to `mg4`; the token needs read/write on it |
|
|
| `INGEST_TOKEN` | at least 24 characters, or every write is refused: `openssl rand -hex 32` |
|
|
| `DASHBOARD_PASSWORD` | at least 8 characters, or login is refused outright |
|
|
| `SESSION_SECRET` | `openssl rand -hex 32`; rotating it signs every browser out |
|
|
| `ABRP_API_KEY`, `ABRP_USER_TOKEN` | optional; both needed to forward |
|
|
| `ABRP_MIN_INTERVAL_SECONDS` | default 5 |
|
|
|
|
## Endpoints
|
|
|
|
Write, `Authorization: Bearer <INGEST_TOKEN>`:
|
|
|
|
- `POST /v1/telemetry` — `{ installationId, samples: [...] }`, up to 500 samples in ABRP's `tlm`
|
|
field names and units (`utc` in epoch seconds; flags as 0/1 or booleans). Stored, then the
|
|
newest sample is forwarded to ABRP if it is under 5 minutes old.
|
|
- `PUT /v1/consumption/daily` — one delta chunk of a day's consumption.
|
|
- `PUT /v1/charging-sessions/:sessionId`
|
|
|
|
Read:
|
|
|
|
- `GET /v1/consumption/history/:installationId` — ingest token; the car reads its own totals back.
|
|
- `GET /v1/history/:installationId/consumption`, `.../charging` — session cookie or
|
|
`Authorization: Bearer <DASHBOARD_PASSWORD>`.
|
|
|
|
`GET /v1/health` is unauthenticated and returns `{"status":"ok"}`.
|
|
|
|
## Storage
|
|
|
|
One bucket, `installationId` tag on every point:
|
|
|
|
| Measurement | Timestamp | Tags | Fields |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| `telemetry` | sample `utc` | — | the ABRP fields that were sent |
|
|
| `consumption_chunk` | `recordedAt` | `date` | km, kwh, hours, socDrop, sohPercent |
|
|
| `charging_session` | `startedAt` | `sessionId` | endedAtMs, duration, energy, cost, start/end SOC |
|
|
| `charging_curve` | point time | `sessionId` | powerKw, socPercent |
|
|
|
|
A point with the same measurement, tags and timestamp replaces the earlier one, so the car's
|
|
retries are idempotent: a cached chunk is re-sent with its original `recordedAt`. Days and the
|
|
lifetime total are summed from the chunks when read. All numbers are written as floats, because
|
|
InfluxDB fixes a field's type on first write.
|
|
|
|
## Local development
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
nix develop # from the repository root: Node 22 and InfluxDB 2
|
|
cp .env.example .env.local # Next loads .env.local automatically
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
npm test # validation, aggregation and forwarding rules; no database
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Container image
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
podman build -t git.stinnesbeck.com/nils/mg4-server:<version> .
|
|
podman push git.stinnesbeck.com/nils/mg4-server:<version>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The build runs the unit tests. The image runs as UID 10001 and listens on port 3000.
