I made a dropbox link of my PI3 image since the other link is about to expire

Will this image work for RPi 4B? It's only $5 more than the 3B.

Unfortunately I dont have one to test. I dont see why it shouldnt. Its made with the latest pi image so it has all the correct drivers for the pi4Will this image work for RPi 4B? It's only $5 more than the 3B.
After playing around with this software for the day, it looks to be an incredibly powerful and quick logger set. Running it on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ is plenty powerful enough. Kudos to @addison for creating this, I'll be buying you a beer through your paypal link - thanks so much! With @BigTonyTones image, the installation was super easy, and I wouldn't have had the skill set to get this going without you. Since the software is so powerful, it also looks I'll be also cancelling my subscription to my hosted logger soon because of this.
One question I have. I set up external port forwarding on my router to my RPi so I can access this from work and get my trip mileage etc. This is straight forward and easy enough to do, but I'm concerned about security in doing this? All someone has to do is enter in my home IP address and the external port, and it forwards directly to the Teslamate interface. What is the exposure risk to the RPi, my home network & my car? Is there a way to add a secure password to external access?
Understood, turned off the port forwarding. I'll keep it local & learn about the rest. Very informative.You really should NOT forward the IP of the Pi to the public, you're also forwarding the SSH service which is one of the most targeted services by malware/hackers. SSH is essentially a remote command line for linux. You could setup a reverse proxy with HTTPS for the Pi and add credentials / disable registrations and anonymous access to Grafana then just forward the single port to your reverse proxy. However, I don't want to sound like an ass but if installing the container was beyond your skills that may be as well, here's a good guide on how to do it.

A better option would be to not forward anything and just VPN into your home network. Most new routers have an option to enable a VPN server then just add DDNS (free hostname so you don't have to remember your ever changing IP). All phones/tables/PCs nowadays support VPN connections as well.
is there a recommended size of microSD card needed to install and run this image on a RPi? thx in advance

Cute little device but everything it offers can easily been done with cheaper hardware. A raspberry pi running pihole and an openvpn server can accomplish the same thing.Just jumping in here.. I found the VPNs built into different routers to be problematic... then I found this product called Firewalla (it was a kickstarter project) -- it's a tiny device that goes on your router and acts as a firewall and VPN server, device monitoring,ad blocking, parental controls, and lots of other features (see link below). It's about $100 and no monthly fees. It's the best $100 I spent! I can access the VPN via Tunnelblick on my MacbookPro or OpenVPN on my iPhone and it "just works" and is very stable. I use it constantly while traveling to access my home network devices without exposing anything to the outside.

If you want to get really fancy, download the best firewall I have used and run it on any old computer you may have. Its call pFsense. Has a free adblocker addon called pfblockerng
Does anyone use Android's Macrodroid for resuming higher frequency scanning when you connect to your Tesla by bluetooth? This is so that you don't miss the first so many minutes set when you start driving from a sleep state. I'm trying to figure out a proper action configuration in the macro setup but failing so far... Following the guide here, but the action sequence in the guide isn't complete. Thanks.

Absolutely. But if people want dead-simple plug-and-play with zero configuration or software installation, it's a cheap and easy alternative for $100. It also has a robust and free mobile app to monitor your network activity and devices.
How much is your time worth to set up an R-Pi and install an OS and install, configure, and maintain all that software?
Setting this up on a Rpi but having trouble starting it.
(Created docker-compose.yml file)
Afterwards start everything with docker-compose up
(This gets "command not found")

I seem to be missing something here.
I recently released v1.0 of TeslaMate, a self-hosted data logger. It can be easily setup on a Raspberry Pi, Synology NAS or any cloud/home server.

Not to go totally off topic here, but is Firewalla a replacement for your existing firewall (I use UniFi USG) or more of a internal lan security system?
