Re: [weewx-user] Upgraded to V5 - will not run automaticly

Vince, Your confusion is probably caused by the enormous popularity of Docker. At this point most of us hear the word Container and only think of Docker. This is also a huge reason why LXC Containers are nowhere near as popular as Docker containers , no one knows they exist, let alone what they are

2 days ago I changed my password on Weather Underground after they requested I do so. My new password is accepted when logging on to their site. However if I update my weewx.conf with the new password uploads fail. Setting weewx.conf with the old password uploading works. I'm assuming that Weather

Very strange blocked rain funnel would be the number one suspect.

Wondering if any trees have started to encro

Re: [weewx-user] No logs at *ALL*??!

Seems like your system uses systemd since you state that you tried "I run systemctl start weewx" Based on that weewx seems to have a unit file name of "weewx" Under Systemd you can use journalctl to query the contents of the systemd journal. You can pass it a unit file name, and start stop ranges a

fake-hwclock is just plain silly, by design it sets the OS time to a known wrong state with the premise that it's a better than nothing choice. Funny the further down the rabbit hole I go the more I see that I don't like. Such as debian setting NTPD or timesyncd to use debian.pool.ntp.org ntp serv

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Power outage without RTC module

For hardware that supports WeeWx can set the onboard clock of the hardware. In your case the davis data logger supports setting of its onboard clock. This is controlled in the [StdTimeSynch] section of weewx.config I believe WeeWx ships with this as default: ##

Hello Herbert, My choice would be the USB Data Logger . Because the Raspberry PI , and many other modern computers,does not have a COMM port, you would have to add a COMM port or use a SERIAL to USB adapter. Many years ago the Davis USB Data Logger seemed to have issues and it seemed better to get

Gary V 10 as a service is almost 100% there. However if you add a [[field_map]] stanza to weewx.config, it gets honored correctly, however with the current logic we don't get a battery_field_map added at all. One way to fix, altho you probably have a more eloquent solution is: """Initial
