nilsandClaude Opus 5.5 51e6f6fd48 Server: rewrite in Go as an API-only service
Same endpoints, request formats, validation rules and InfluxDB layout as
the Next.js server, so the car needs no change: POST /v1/telemetry,
PUT /v1/consumption/daily, PUT /v1/charging-sessions/{id}, GET
/v1/consumption/history/{id}, GET /v1/health. The dashboard, login and
the /v1/history reads are gone; Grafana takes over the dashboards.

- Go 1.26 standard library (net/http routing, log/slog) plus the
  official InfluxDB 2 client. Fails closed at startup on a missing
  InfluxDB setting or an ingest token under 24 characters.
- ABRP forwarder ported: newest fresh sample, rate limited, never
  queued, credentials only in the form body.
- 22 tests: validation, aggregation, forwarding, config, and the
  handlers through a fake store. govulncheck clean (x/net 0.60.0,
  toolchain go1.26.9).
- Image: static binary on distroless, about 11 MB, UID 65532, port
  8080; the build runs vet and the tests.
- Dev shell: Go, gopls and govulncheck instead of Node.

Nils' MG4 — car server

A small Go service at car.stinnesbeck.com: the API the car writes to, and the ABRP forwarder. Data lives in InfluxDB 2; Grafana reads it from there for the dashboards (../k8s/grafana/).

    ──daily chunks─────▶   │
    ──charging sessions▶   ▼
                       InfluxDB 2 ◀── Grafana

Configuration

Environment only; the server refuses to start when a required value is missing.

Name Notes
INFLUX_URL, INFLUX_TOKEN, INFLUX_ORG required; the token needs read/write on the bucket
INFLUX_BUCKET default mg4
INGEST_TOKEN required, at least 24 characters: openssl rand -hex 32
ABRP_API_KEY, ABRP_USER_TOKEN optional; both needed to forward
ABRP_MIN_INTERVAL_SECONDS default 5
LISTEN_ADDR default :8080

The ABRP credentials never reach the car.

Endpoints

All but /v1/health need 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). Unknown fields are dropped, known ones bounded. 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} — a finished DC session with its curve.
  • GET /v1/consumption/history/{installationId} — the car reads its own totals back.
  • GET /v1/health — {"status":"ok"}.

A bad request is a 400 naming the field; a database failure is a 500 without detail.

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. Numbers are always written as floats, because InfluxDB fixes a field's type on first write.

Development

nix develop          # from the repository root: Go, govulncheck, InfluxDB 2
cd server
go test ./...
govulncheck ./...

Container image

podman build -t git.stinnesbeck.com/nils/mg4-server:<version> .
podman push git.stinnesbeck.com/nils/mg4-server:<version>

The build runs go vet and the tests. The image is a static binary on distroless (about 11 MB), running as UID 65532 on port 8080.
