Correction on my typo. That should be "I was calculating $day.humidex.max, $month.humidex.max, etc.," not "I was $day.humidex.max, $month.humidex.max, etc.," - Paul VE1DX On Monday, November 27, 2023 at 11:44:21 AM UTC-4 WindnFog wrote: > It works. I am still using the old Standard skin, and

It works. I am still using the old Standard skin, and it seems to be working as well as on v4.10.2. Here's v5.0.0b15: https://ve1dx.net/v5/ And here is v4.10.2: https://ve1dx.net/ We can conclude that "weectl extension install" works in the venv. Also, I was $day.humidex.max, $month.hum

WeeWx v5.0.0b15 seems to be working fine. I want to add Mathew's Sftp extension and put the files on my VPS web server in a non-public directory for now. I use that extension on my production 4.10.2 weewx version. I need to use keyed SFTP to upload; this extension does what I want on pre-v5 ve

Thanks, Vince. It seems to be working well on my "play" system and displaying the site on Firefox. I've got a few other things to work on for a day or two, so I'll just let it run for now. - Paul VE1DX On Tuesday, November 21, 2023 at 5:07:19 PM UTC-4 vince wrote: > Paul - I updated my scrip

Re: [weewx-user] Is WeeWx 5.0 beta stable enough for non-experts to fool around with?

Paul - I updated my script to be more flexible for vagrant vs. running on top of a native os, if you wanted to give the new one a try. In the updated script I switched gears a little to have weewx write through a symlink into a new /var/www/hmtl/weewx subdirectory which is safer from a security

That works great, Vince. It seems to be running smoothly on Debian-12. Now for the dumb question. It looks like the web page is under /root/weewx-data/public_html/ . . . how does a person view the web page using a browser? I'm just using the Simulator for now on a Pi 4B. - Paul VE1DX On Thur

Re: [weewx-user] Is WeeWx 5.0 beta stable enough for non-experts to fool around with?

Thanks Vince for the script - very helpful for testing. I could rebuild my weewx on a test raspberry pi 4 with the extensions cmon, mqtt, mqtt-subscribe and the Belchertown skin. vince schrieb am Donnerstag, 31. August 2023 um 20:34:10 UTC+2: FWIW, I have a github repo (here)

FWIW, I have a github repo (here) with a bash script that automates the v5 pip install, installs and configures nginx and my 'mem' extension, hooks weewx into the nginx web, and starts it all up. I use this on pi and vagrant virtual mach

Re: [weewx-user] Is WeeWx 5.0 beta stable enough for non-experts to fool around with?

The intention with V5 is to cleanly separate the WeeWX code base from "user data." The latter is things such as weewx.conf, skins, the database, and, yes, any user extensions. So, instances can share the code base, but each have their own user data area, with their own extensions (and extension.py

Re: [weewx-user] Is WeeWx 5.0 beta stable enough for non-experts to fool around with?

in V5 i am assuming a single station can be created but separate weewx.conf’s used, as in V4 weewx-multi config, with the downside that they share same extensions.py i.e. not utilising V5’s design change in my case, i want same codebase and python modules available to all weewx instances but ea

Re: [weewx-user] Is WeeWx 5.0 beta stable enough for non-experts to fool around with?

I have looked gitHub and see there is a 5.0 beta out there. I am wondering if it is stable enough for a casual user to fiddle around with it before official release, or should only experts be using it now to test and give feedback to the developers? Just curious.  Dale -- You received thi
