🏃 Running the client

This guide assumes you already have a working OCPP management/central system. If you do not have one already, check out SteVe and set it up according to their guide.

Standalone​

Before you run/connect the client, make sure the backend is available and the charge point is registered. Also, libnfc should be installed (a convenience script is available).

Running the client:

go run -tags=rpi .

or compiling and executing the client:

go build -tags=rpi -o chargepi .
./chargepi

🐳 Deploying on Docker​

  1. Build the client image on Docker:

    cd ChargePi/client
    docker build -t chargepi .

    or pull it from Docker Hub:

       docker pull xblaz3kx/ChargePi-go:latest

  2. Run the container from built image:

    docker run --device /dev/ttyAMA0:/dev/ttyAMA0 --device /dev/mem:/dev/mem --privileged chargepi

Deploying using docker-compose​

  1. Build the ChargePi client:

    docker-compose -f ./deployments build .

  2. Run services in daemon mode:

    docker-compose -f ./deployments up -d
