Proxmox

important

This is a community guide for advanced users. We cannot provide support for Proxmox-specific questions and bug reports.

Proxmox is a virtualisation platform which enables very simple evcc hosting. If you plan to run evcc on a Linux Home server, Proxmox can be a flexible alternative, which makes it possible to install other systems in addition to evcc. An evcc installation on Proxmox then behaves exactly the same way as an installation on a dedicated Linux server.

The following installation has been tested with Ubuntu 24.4.

Manual Installation​

  1. If not already present on your system, load a current Ubuntu template onto your server.

  2. Create a Debian based LX container that is configured with minimal resources. (8G of disk and 512MB of RAM are plenty of resources)

  3. Install evcc as described in the instructions for Debian-based Linux systems Debian, Ubuntu Installation.

  4. Update evcc via the Debian package management.

Using Helper Script​

If you prefer to use a script for the installation, copy the bash script under the following link Proxmox VE Helper-Scripts into the Proxmox console.

This way creates a container with 1 GB RAM and since evcc is already installed, you can start directly with the configuration wizard. There are also other useful scripts on this page, e.g. for backups to external systems.
