I'm keen to set this up either using remote hosting or on Pi. I looked at using my NAS but I don't leave it running 24/7.
There is an alternative, Tesla Logger, which is very comprehensive and also the inspiration for TeslaMate I believe. Those guys are German and provide a plug-and-play Pi system. It's currently on Pi 3 so I've asked if they can update to the latest hardware. For £140 it's a good, quick option for those of us where server admin and coding is a bit of a distant memory.
That said, setting up a remote VM also sounds quite attractive as long as it's secure and also comes with clear instructions for old timers like me to follow. To give an idea, it's probably 15 years ago that I went anywhere near a command line!
Is the remote VM worth a crack for someone like me and importantly, is it secure enough? Or do I spend £140 on a pre-configured system - cost isn't too bad.
Cheers
Dave
