FreeBSD

This guide describes the installation on FreeBSD using the official package from the FreeBSD Ports tree.

Installation

Install
Section titled “Install”

Open a terminal as root and install evcc:
Terminal window
```
pkg install evcc
```
Start
Section titled “Start”

Enable the service at boot and start it:
Terminal window
```
sysrc evcc_enable="YES"
service evcc start
```
Set Up
Section titled “Set Up”

Open the evcc interface in your browser: http://localhost:7070. Set an administrator password and configure your devices directly via the web interface.

Configuration

After the first start, you can configure your evcc instance at http://localhost:7070. Settings are automatically saved in the database.

Alternatively, you can use an evcc.yaml configuration file at /usr/local/etc/evcc.yaml. Details can be found in Configuration.

Upgrades

To upgrade to a new version, perform the following steps:

Check the releases for breaking changes (BC) affecting your installation
Open a terminal as root
Upgrade evcc:
Terminal window
```
pkg upgrade evcc
```
Restart the service:
Terminal window
```
service evcc restart
```

Additional Commands

Check the status of the evcc server:
Terminal window
```
service evcc status
```
View logs:
Terminal window
```
tail -f /var/log/evcc.log
```

nginx as Reverse Proxy

If you already have nginx running, add a new virtualhost with the following configuration:

server {
  ...
  server_name evcc.<your-domain>
  ...
  location / {
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

    proxy_redirect off;
    proxy_read_timeout 240s;

    proxy_http_version 1.1;

    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:7070;
  }
}

The evcc interface will then be available at http://evcc.<your-domain>/.
