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,

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

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
