Custom server

[ShogunPanda]

Hello!
I'm trying to write a custom telemetry server to process data from Tesla.
Note that I'm NOT using fleet-telemetry at all.
I have few questions:

1. Can you please add the flatbuffers definitions (not the compile Go ones) in the repository)?
2. I'm not really into Go code, so I need to know the following: do we need to confirm receipt of a message via StreamAckMessage or we just receive StreamMessage and that's it?

Thanks!

I've also looked into this a little bit so will contribute what I know:

The protobuf definitions are all here (compiled pb.go and uncompiled .proto) https://github.com/teslamotors/fleet-telemetry/tree/main/protos

I dont know for sure, but I believe the vehicle is expecting messages to be ack'ed because I have seen vehicles retransmit messages to my fleet-telmetery instances.

Out of interest what language are you writing it in? I started a NodeJS version but gave up very quickly.

Thanks for your input!
Yup, I see the proto there but it seems the message receives them embedded a in a flatbuffer structure. I hope they publish this.

I'm writing them in Node.js (see at my profile and you'll get why ;)). I'm using @fastify/websocket which makes the process pretty easy.

@ShogunPanda are you able to make it work?
We are trying to build using Node/Express and hosting it using Google Cloud Run behind a load balancer.

One of our cars is connecting using Websocket and sending some messages, but we are stuck trying to convert the message to a JSON using protobufJS(https://www.npmjs.com/package/protobufjs)

We did some tests creating a custom proto file, sending a message using Websocket and decoding the message and it worked, but we are failing miserable using the proto files provided on this project.

Unfortunately not. I ended up installing the Go fleet-telemetry and getting it via the JSON stdout log
