Usage

Installation

The easiest way this is to run the docker container and set it to restart always. This basically makes it a system service that will always run.

To make it safe and avoid passing credentials we're using a configuration file.

mkdir /etc/solaredge_modbus_mqtt
chmod 700 /etc/solaredge_modbus_mqtt
cp config.yaml-dist /etc/solaredge_modbus_mqtt/config.yaml
docker run --detach --name=solaredge_modbus_mqtt --restart=always --volume=/etc/solaredge_modbus_mqtt/config.yaml:/app/config.yaml marijnkoesen/solaredge_modbus_mqtt:latest

Uninstall

docker update --restart=no solaredge_modbus_mqtt
docker stop solaredge_modbus_mqtt

Update
