Ansible deployment

[FinweVI]

Hey there,

thanks for this exporter, saved me quite some time when setting things up!
I've created an Ansible Playbook for automated deployment of this exporter.

I've also created a Grafana Dashboard, maybe we could publish ours on the Grafana Community and put the links in the README?

I can provide an MR with all that if interested, let me know.

That would be awesome. Please do. If you would like to include it in this project, and possibly become a maintainer as some point, I would be happy to discuss that too 😄

I don't mind including it in this project if you think it makes sense.
Though we might want to keep 2 separate repositories for the Ansible one to be available on Ansible Galaxy?

Maybe different repo- but would just be a small yaml file in repo right? For reference: I have a docker image I made that builds this. Then deploy to a RPi kubernetes cluster. I’ll have to contribute it back so maybe it can be published to DockerHub.

Also, yes! Would love to see those dashboards. As someone new to Grafana I haven’t gotten my wattage calculation to match VRM and don’t quite know how to normalize the date over the time gap.

Added the Dockerfile and published, https://github.com/TheEmpty/victron-exporter-dockerfile
