Please continue to support manual installs for Teslamate!

Is there an existing issue for this?

What happened?

As per comment in PR#3439, I am repeating my request to continue to support manual installs here.
I am running Teslamate on a Raspberry Pi which already has instances of Grafana, Postgresql and a MQTT service running for a lot of services.
Duplicating all these for each service would totally overload the little machine and - IMHO - makes no sense.

So I would continue to need a supported way of installing either a single Teslamate-only docker image with hooks to existing Grafana / Postgres / MQTT services (and not duplicating the complete infrastructure), or (preferably) a manual installation option.

Thank you!

Is there a risk of manual install going away? My setup is manual debian. Thx.

My understanding is that the discussion was concerning the future of the documentation. Manual installs would continue to work even if the documentation is removed.

I don't think anybody was going to actually remove the documentation.

I think there was frustration that we have to keep multiple installation procedures tested and in sync. I don't think that is a good reason for removing documentation though.

If anything, I would like to see more installation methods documented, e.g. nix.

I am going to move this to a discussion for now, as I do not see an "issue" at the moment.
