Cool - some quick testing things I noticed in a ubuntu2204 vagrant vm... The vagrant base ubuntu2204 VM is very minimal so I needed to add a couple packages:
- sudo apt-get update - sudo apt-get install -y python3-venv # for venv itself - sudo apt-get install -y gcc # to compile pyephem within the venv I also did the station create explicitly just to try that too (which worked fine): - weectl station create --driver weewx.drivers.simulator --no-prompt Also tested calling weewxd from outside of the venv via a full path ala ~/weewx_venv/bin/weewxd which I suppose is where a future systemd startup file use if an absolute path was specified (???) Re: your installer mechanisms options, I lean toward this way since it relies on just core python and not a third party wrapper tool that might theoretically go away someday or might not work on all the unusual/creative places folks run weewx on like NAS or under WSL and the like. For the future, I guess I'd like to also see docs re: how to upgrade weewx and/or switch to a specified version of weewx. Sometimes folks need/want to freeze to a particular version. Very cool though as-is ! On Friday, December 30, 2022 at 2:16:31 PM UTC-8 Tom Keffer wrote: > For those who are still interested, finally something concrete! > > 1.
