Why this Configuration?

• True Data Sovereignty: 100% GDPR-compliant on-premises deployment. You own your configuration and data without vendor lock-in.
• Hardware Agnostic: Optimized and verified across low-power ARM64 SBCs (Raspberry Pi 5) and x86_64 hypervisors (Proxmox VE LXC & VM).
• Engine Freedom: Tested and supported under standard Docker Engine and unprivileged rootless Podman.
• Platform Verification: Tested on Proxmox LXC: docker (v4.2.0, 2026-09-14), podman (1.19, 2026-09-14); Proxmox VM: docker (v4.2.0, 2026-09-14), podman (16.15, 2026-09-14).

Quick Start (Standalone Docker Compose)

The snippet below is immediately ready to run in any standard Docker or Podman environment:

services:
  teslamate:
    image: "teslamate/teslamate:latest"
    container_name: njorddeploy-teslamate
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - ENCRYPTION_KEY=supersecretencryptionkey123456789
      - DATABASE_USER=teslamate
      - DATABASE_PASS=secretpassword
      - DATABASE_NAME=teslamate
      - DATABASE_HOST=teslamate_db
      - MQTT_HOST=mosquitto
    ports:
      - "4000:4000"
    depends_on:
      - teslamate_db
    networks:
      - njorddeploy_net

  teslamate_db:
    image: postgres:16-alpine
    container_name: njorddeploy-teslamate-db
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=teslamate
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=secretpassword
      - POSTGRES_DB=teslamate
    volumes:
      - "./data/teslamate/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data"
    networks:
      - njorddeploy_net

networks:
  njorddeploy_net:

Start the service directly via the command line: docker compose up -d
