nilsandClaude Opus 5.5 582c084b35 Live dashboard: show what the car sends, compute pack energy

The car publishes no battery, cabin or outside temperature and no pack
energy (checked against the fields that reached InfluxDB). Instead of
panels that stay empty:

- Battery temperature tile -> Climate setpoint.
- Outside temperature tile -> Last update ("2 minutes ago").
- Energy in pack = SOC x usable capacity, from the hidden dashboard
  constant usableKwh = 50.8 (51 kWh battery).
- Temperatures chart -> Battery voltage and current.

Checked with a simulated drive carrying exactly the car's fields: all
11 panels return data, energy matches 61 % x 50.8 kWh. SPECS.md lists
the missing signals and why.

Kubernetes manifests — car.k8s.stinnesbeck.com

Plain manifests for the car server, InfluxDB 2 and Grafana. They are only files: nothing here is applied automatically. Apply them yourself.

File	What
`namespace.yaml`	Namespace `mg4`
`influxdb.yaml`	InfluxDB 2.7.12 StatefulSet (10Gi PVC, default storage class), cluster-internal Service, NetworkPolicy admitting only the server and Grafana
`server.yaml`	Go server Deployment (1 replica, non-root, read-only root filesystem) and Service
`grafana.yaml`	Grafana 13.2.3 Deployment (1Gi PVC), Service; datasource and dashboards provisioned
`grafana/`	The provisioned InfluxDB datasource and the MG4 dashboards (Live, Consumption, Charging)
`ingress.yaml`	Traefik `IngressRoute`s for car.k8s.stinnesbeck.com and Grafana, TLS from Traefik's default certificate
`secrets/secrets.example.yaml`	Template for the Secrets; placeholders only, not in `kustomization.yaml`
`secrets/secrets.yaml`	Your filled-in copy — gitignored, never committed
`kustomization.yaml`	Everything except the Secrets; generates the Grafana ConfigMaps

Before the first apply

Check ingress.yaml: Grafana's host (placeholder car-grafana.k8s.stinnesbeck.com). Both routes use the traefik-internal class, and both hosts must be covered by Traefik's default certificate.
Create the Secrets. cp k8s/secrets/secrets.example.yaml k8s/secrets/secrets.yaml (gitignored), replace every CHANGE-ME there (openssl rand -hex 32): influxdb-auth, mg4-server (ingest token, approval password for pairing, your ABRP API key and user token) and grafana-admin. Keep the template itself on placeholders only.
Registry access. The mg4-server package on git.stinnesbeck.com is public, so no pull secret is needed. If you make it private, add an imagePullSecrets entry to server.yaml.

Apply

kubectl apply -f k8s/namespace.yaml
kubectl apply -f k8s/secrets/secrets.yaml
kubectl apply -k k8s/

Use -k, not -f k8s/: plain -f applies the files without kustomize, so the Grafana ConfigMaps (datasource and dashboards) are never created and Grafana does not start.

Notes

InfluxDB's setup mode runs only on an empty volume. Changing admin-token in the Secret later does not change the token inside InfluxDB.
The server and Grafana use the InfluxDB admin token. A token scoped to the mg4 bucket (read for Grafana, read/write for the server) can replace it later.
The dashboards are read-only in Grafana's UI. Change the JSON in grafana/dashboards/; the ConfigMap name changes with its content, which rolls Grafana.
The server image is pinned by digest in server.yaml. To upgrade, push a new tag and put its digest there (skopeo inspect docker://git.stinnesbeck.com/nils/mg4-server:<tag>).
