About

HostBox

Features
Read full description

HostBox is the deploy-layer iOS app for My T (not a Docker terminal inside My T). SSH into your own VPS from iPhone and install My T Server: • TeslaMate + TeslaMateAPI • Optional My T Companion • Optional temporary public IP or Cloudflare Tunnel • Unified entry, step-by-step progress, and health checks • SSH command console and maintenance tools for your own server Temporary-IP mode publishes only the Bearer-protected My T API. TeslaMate web and Grafana remain private on the VPS, so first-time vehicle authorization and dashboards require an SSH tunnel from a computer. With Cloudflare Tunnel/domain mode, those pages can open directly in a phone browser. When finished, open My T from the completion screen. The URL contains no secret; a five-minute local connection package supplies the full setup. My T tests it and asks whether to overwrite an existing connection or save another name. Passwords, private keys, Tokens, and Cloudflare secrets stay in on-device Keychain. Optional iCloud backup contains non-secret connection metadata only and requires credentials and SSH host trust to be established again after restore. Remote commands run on your server. You need your own VPS and (optionally) a Cloudflare account. You still authorize the vehicle in the TeslaMate web UI.
