Personally, I was thinking of using VirtualBox to create  a RHEL VM on my
PC, and then installing it on that.  Maybe use vagrant to get it off the
ground and make sure I can rinse and repeat.

The production instance is running on a VM but I think the host is being
hammered already, so spinning another one up isn't an option.  Besides,
would VMWare let me share a USB controller and peripheral between two VMs?

But that does give me the idea of setting up a VirtualBox environment on my
PC. Only thing I won't have is the data but I can manually copy it over and
use outdated stuff, just to see what it looks like.

Perfect. Thanks very much.

[weewx-user] Staging Area to Experiment?

[Andy Sloane]

I am using the standard skin on Weewx, and would like to create a "staging 
area" where I can experiment with different skins.  This area would be 
completely hidden from public view, unless you had the URL.  Is this 
possible?

Thanks.
