energy-fluidos

Small container to monitor the energy used/produced at home, using the BTicino energy logger, and to push data in Prometheus

Docker Container Implementation

To run the energy-fluidos container, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/frisso/energy-fluidos.git

2. Change to the project directory:

   cd energy-fluidos

3. Build the Docker image:

   sudo docker build --pull -t energy .

4. Run the Docker container:

   sudo docker run -d -p 8000:8000 energy

5. To see the container logs, use the following command (replace NUMBER with your container ID):

   sudo docker logs NUMBER

Port Forwarding for Prometheus

To access Prometheus UI, use Kubernetes port forwarding. Run the following command, replacing <prometheus-service-name> with the appropriate Prometheus service name:

kubectl port-forward -n monitoring svc/<prometheus-service-name> 9090:9090

This will forward the Prometheus UI to http://localhost:9090.

Adding Docker Container as a Target in Prometheus

To configure Prometheus to scrape metrics from the energy-fluidos container, update your Prometheus configuration file with the following scrape configuration:

global:
  scrape_interval: 15s  # Default scraping interval

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: "energy_monitoring"
    metrics_path: "/metrics"
    static_configs:
      - targets:
        - "<docker_ip>:8000"

Replace <docker_ip> with the IP address of your Docker container. This setup will enable Prometheus to scrape metrics from the energy-fluidos container.
