Re: [weewx-user] Re: WeeWX Docker Image for Synology.

[Tom Mitchell]

Yes, in thinking about this Docker implementation, it was not meant as a
workflow, but rather a deployment mechanism. The way I use it is to get
things working on my laptop or in a VM. Then I use the Docker workflow to
deploy it to Kubernetes on GCP.

I think if one were to think of is an iterative thing where every time I
made a change to a skin, a template, or weewx.conf I had to build an image,
upload it to a repository, etc. I would bail.

But as a deployment mechanism, it works really for me and has for years now.

 Also very interested in a Synology Docker version, could test it as

[weerstation Maurik]

Hi Sven,

Sorry for very late reply!

As Tom said it's not straightforward to map folders you would like to,
It is possible to use for volume mapping for  /home/weewx/public_html so 
you can serve HTML from your NAS.
I had no luck with in getting the conf folder and/or database folder to map.

Best way forward is to build your docker when changes occur.
That's why I stick to using my RPi instead of the Synology.
On the Pi I can access the whole RPi and all these folders straight away 
through a share on any PC for backup, check or changes.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: WeeWX Docker Image for Synology.

[Tom Mitchell]

Hi Sven,

Mark and Nico have had some success running their weewx on syno with
Docker. Maybe they can share some of their tips. Along the way, I have
learned about the usability (or lack of) in my docker/weewx solution that I
am working on. More to come soon as I am testing with it now, trying to run
weewx 4 beta 18 and the Belchertown skin. I am troubleshooting an error
with writing the DarkSky forecast and once that is solved I intend to
update the latest base docker image for v4.

I am way open to suggestions on how to make the images more usable by more
people. They were intended to allow me to host multiple weewx sites on
Kubernetes and I have not yet accounted for other peoples' use cases. But
it's open source and I would love any contributions or suggestions on
usability.

You can map volumes for sure to keep your database on a local drive. But it
gets tricky if you try to map /home/weewx because if you do that to expose
your weewx.conf, it will hide the rest of /home/weewx/. So the current
solution is to define your own docker image that uses mine as a base.

@Mark and @nico can you chime in?

Re: [weewx-user] Re: WeeWX Docker Image for Synology.

['Sven Strunz' via weewx-user]

Hi all,

I am also trying to get weewx running in a docker on my synolog ds718+.

@Tom: with your docker-image I can get it running, but I don't get managed 
to mount volumes to have the weewx.conf available and to have the html 
files. And it would be nice to safe the database in a separate mounted 
volume.

Background is, that I would like to have my Netatmo weather Station within 
weewx ( https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-netatmo ).

Are there any News?

Regards
Sven

Re: [weewx-user] Re: WeeWX Docker Image for Synology.

[Mark Stanchin]

Hi Tom, Yes I would like to try out your docker ver of WeeWx ! I'm very new
with setting up docker and I do have a few containers running home
assistant on my  synology nas.
I'm also very new with WeeWx but did  accomplish getting it set up on a
raspberry pi 4  I did have some problems with the Davis IP data logger
stopping and getting  corrupted .
 I'm hoping that you could help me get this installed with explicit
instructions with the container installation as well as getting Weewx  set
up and running inside the container .

I'm Excited to get this going !

Thanks Tom !
