Quick Install:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/iot/evcc/evcc-ubuntu.sh
chmod +x evcc-ubuntu.sh
sudo bash evcc-ubuntu.shTutorial Steps
1 Download the Script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/iot/evcc/evcc-ubuntu.sh2 Make it Executable
chmod +x evcc-ubuntu.sh3 Run the Installer
The script installs Docker if needed and starts evcc on port 7070 with the --demo flag, so it runs with simulated data and you can explore the interface. Its data lives in a mounted volume. For real use you provide an evcc.yaml.
sudo bash evcc-ubuntu.sh4 Open the Web UI (Demo) and Plan Your Config
Open evcc to explore the demo dashboard, then replace the --demo flag with an evcc.yaml configuration describing your wallbox, PV system, and vehicle to control real charging:
