This release does not have any exciting new features, but it is the first release to have docker support. With the ability to use docker to run SolarThing, I also decided that a minimum Java version bump was overdue. To run the client program (solarthing.jar), you must have Java 11. To run the server program (solarthing-graphql.jar), you must have Java 17. You are responsible for upgrading your Java version. In general, it should be very easy unless you are using a Raspberry Pi 1 or a Raspberry Pi Zero.

Docker support is available with packages published here: https://github.com/orgs/wildmountainfarms/packages?repo_name=solarthing. Documentation for using Docker is not yet complete, but example docker compose files will soon be available. Docker will likely not be the recommended way to run SolarThing client, but may be recommended for SolarThing server. The advantage of docker is that you won't have to manage your Java installation yourself. All you need is a docker installation!

New features:

  • Ability to provide interpolated values in select configuration files. This can make it easier to share configuration between programs running SolarThing while customizing options for each.
  • --validate option. If you are running solarthing directly, you can add the --validate option which will not run any code to upload data or to retrieve data, but will instead tell you if your configuration is valid or not. An exit code of 0 indicates a correctly formatted configuration.
