John, so maybe a project for the next days to put the loop-data.tx into ram and serve it via apache2. The WeatherBoard site:
https://livewetter.hcpeters.de and my main weather site: https://wetter.hcpeters.de/ . The gauges you see on the main site seems to use Javascript so that's why I asked...! :-D At the moment I just give a fixed value and render the entire site every minute...near realtime... ;-) But diving into java would be a big task.... not sure I'm ready for that....already fighting with Python...! :-D Regards, Christian jo...@johnkline.com schrieb am Mittwoch, 15.
