What type of operating system or environment does evcc run on?

Docker container

External automation

• I have made sure that no external automation like HomeAssistant or Node-RED is active or accessing any of the mentioned devices when this issue occurs.

Nightly build

• I have verified that the issue is reproducible with the latest nightly build

Version

You have probably a error in your docker volume mounts. See https://docs.evcc.io/en/docs/installation/docker#volumes

I cant see it, can you help?

Does your user on the server really has the name user? Did you create the files and folder before starting?

Create these directories on your host system. In this guide we use the paths /home/user/.evcc/ and /home/user/evcc.yaml as examples.

What does a ls /home/user/evcc.yaml and a ls /home/user/.evcc show?

So where are your evcc.yaml on your docker host? You must use that path. And for the .evcc folder you must use some existing path so evcc can write there.

This is the problem i think. I am very new at this and dont understand 100% i think i done every step but it sound like something is missing for me. is it maybe possible to get some remote help from you? would be wounderfull if you could check it out.

goes back to Demo mode + also my settings

I guess you're misunderstanding how docker works and are missing the volume mounts. Please note we're not giving docker support.

On what hardware are you giving support so i can buy it?
