To run it using docker, try the docker-compose.yaml file present in this repository. You will need the .env file too for that reasons, so the easiest thing is to just run the following commands:

git clone https://git.privacynerd.de/BlueFox/SolarControl.git && cd SolarControl
vi .env  # adjust the script to your needs
docker-compose up -d && docker-compose logs -f

barebone

The script can be configured using the .env file where you can adjust it (hopefully perfect) to your needs. After that, just run the script:

python3 lge320reader.py

Please note: the .env file needs to be in the same folder or any other folder higher up in the directory structure as the script (more specifically, the WORKDIR). It is just a help, actually, the script searches for specific variables in its environment variables. It only loads the .env file so that you do not need to export all the files before running (see https://pypi.org/project/python-dotenv/ for more details). This also means that when using it in docker, you can set the docker containers environment file to that .env file and it will be accepted too.

Updating

To update, simply use git pull to pull the latest changes. Afterwards, you need to restart your script (with docker, just use docker-compose up -d --force-recreate).

Building the docker image

To build the image for docker, simply use the following commands:

docker login  # login to docker hub
docker buildx create --name buildx-multi-arch
docker buildx use buildx-multi-arch
docker buildx build --no-cache --platform linux/amd64,linux/386,linux/arm/v5,linux/arm/v7,linux/arm64/v8,linux/ppc64le,linux/s390x -t bluefox42/solarcontrol:<VERSION> -t bluefox42/solarcontrol:latest . --push
docker logout  # so that credentials are no longer stored in clear but are deleted
