Getting Started with UI

[cbility]

Hi,

Running the UI following the instructions at Getting Started :: Open Energy Management System doesn’t seem to work for me. The websocket server is running on port 8085:

curl.exe -i -N -H “Connection: Upgrade” -H “Upgrade: websocket” -H “Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13” -H “Sec-WebSocket-Key: dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ==” [http://localhost:8085]
(http://localhost:8085/) HTTP/1.1 101 Web Socket Protocol Handshake Connection: Upgrade Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 10:37:27 GMT Sec-WebSocket-Accept: s3pPLMBiTxaQ9kYGzzhZRbK+xOo= Server: TooTallNate Java-WebSocket Upgrade: websocket

The Felix web console at http://localhost:8080/system/console/configMgr works fine, but navigating to https://openemsuilocal.consolinno.de/ or http://localhost/login both get an Unable to connect.

I’ve tried using the prebuillt openems-edge.jar and cloning the repo and running within eclipse, with the same result. Building using the docker images does let me access the UI, but not the web console.

Hi,

consollino UI is outdated and shall not be used anymore. You need to use the prebuilt UI or build/deploy it yourself.

May I know which Company you are working for in the UK?

consollino UI is outdated and shall not be used anymore.

It’s still referenced int the getting started guide though. What is the recommended way now (to update the getting started guide)?

Well… I’m afraid the best variant is to remove that part of the documentation via a PR.

Okay - noting consollino can still be accessed when deploying via docker. I’ll try running the UI separately. I’m at the University of Edinburgh. I think we will be opting for a commercial solution over OpenEMS.

That isn’t the case. Deploying via Docker delivers the latest UI in the container—it has nothing to do with Consollino. Besides, the Consollino interface is extremely outdated and is only meant for development purposes.

You mentioned two options, not stating which one is the preferred one (what is what I asked for). Anyhow, I

@stefan.feilmeier

remove that part of the documentation via a PR.

did so, mentioning both options: Update gettingstarted.adoc: removed consollino by sjjh · Pull Request #3251 · OpenEMS/openems · GitHub

I suggested 2 Options as both of them are feasable solutions for your Problem - basically it is more of a personal preference But if tou want to go the “easy” way - use the prebuilt Version from GitHub
