OCPP Central System Service

OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) implementation in C++. Built on base Apostol.

The software stack consists of a compilation of source code, libraries and scripts.

Overview

Open Charge Point Protocol OCPP is a communication protocol between multiple charging stations ("charge points") and a single management software ("central system").

Currently, two versions of OCPP (1.5 and 1.6) are released. A draft is being prepared for the new version (2.0). Version 1.5 uses SOAP over HTTP as the RPC/transport protocol. Version 1.6 uses SOAP and JSON over WebSocket protocol.

Build and installation

Build required:

Compiler C++;
CMake;
Library libdelphi (Delphi classes for C++);
Library libpq-dev (libraries and headers for C language frontend development);
Library postgresql-server-dev-10 (libraries and headers for C language backend development).

ATTENTION: You do not need to install libdelphi, just download and put it in the `src/lib` directory of the project.

To install the C ++ compiler and necessary libraries in Ubuntu, run:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev make cmake gcc g++

To install PostgreSQL, use the instructions for this link.

A detailed description of the installation of C ++, CMake, IDE, and other components necessary for building the project is not included in this guide.

To install (without Git) you need:

Download OCPP Central System Service;
Unpack;
Download libdelphi;
Unpack in src/lib/delphi;
Configure CMakeLists.txt (of necessity);
Build and compile (see below).

To install (with Git) you need:

git clone https://github.com/ufocomp/apostol-ocpp.git

To add libdelphi to a project using Git, do:

cd apostol-ocpp/src/lib
git clone https://github.com/ufocomp/libdelphi.git delphi
cd ../../../

Build:

cd apostol-ocpp
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release . -B cmake-build-release

Compilation and installation:

cd cmake-build-release
make
sudo make install

By default ocpp will be set to:

/usr/sbin

The configuration file and the necessary files for operation, depending on the installation option, will be located in:

/etc/apostol-ocpp
or
~/apostol-ocpp

Run

If `INSTALL_AS_ROOT` set to `ON`.

ocpp - it is a Linux system service (daemon).

To manage ocpp use standard service management commands.

To start, run:

sudo service ocpp start

To check the status, run:

sudo service ocpp status
