Backends

[goRaspy]

Hello,

Your works with OpenCharginCloud seems pretty awesome. I can't measure the maturity of the project, but you seem to have implemented a lot of awesome features.

I have a question about the backend library. It seems the "WWCP Cloud" which allows to run distributed backends is not public or not available for the moment. Is that because the code is private or because not existing ?

I should be very interested to test your project. If that possible could you furnish a sort of "quick start guide" especially for CPO features ?

Many thanks

Hi there,

thank you for your interest in this project. Currently the entire project is under heavy refactoring, in order to make it more flexible, e.g. for customer-specific protocol extensions on p2p-links and for some new use cases. I guess in the next weeks there will be another big code release for the WWCP Core and OICP, OCHP, OCPI, OIOI and OCPP adapters. Some projects, which are stable enough, are already being developed completely as Open Source, others are still more a big "hack"... nevertheless most parts already survive production use ;)

The architecture is roughtly the following:

• WWCP_Core defines the main data structures.
• WWCP_Net defines HTTP, TCP and UDP networking.
• WWCP_OICP|OCHP|OCPI|OIOI|OCPP are adapters to talk to other (roaming or charging station) protocols.
• WWCP_Cloud defines charging stations, charging station, e-mobility provider and parking sensor backends either as "virtual" software solution e.g. for automatic tests or as stubs to connect your own stuff. We e.g. have some nice Netduino and ESP8266/ESP32 demo hardware which uses these interfaces.
• ...a couple of subprojects for e.g. service discovery in a distributed roaming network, crypto and blockchain stuff, automatic service tests which are waiting to be included into the larger projects.

Cheers...

I am clearly impressed. You are working on some much projects which are so fascinating for me.

Do you do that alone or it is your job ? It is awesome !

I already use the open source project STEVE (https://github.com/RWTH-i5-IDSG/steve ). If STEVE should be connected to WWCP I think it should become the best CMPS worldwide !

Another point about ESP. Did you already implement OCPP onoard and connect it an Open Source EVSE ? I would love to find some project like that.

Cheers

(will be impatient for the next big code release !)
