Thanks for getting in touch Vince. It seems like there may be a few challenges to overcome before I get there. I was just scratching around your repo when you messaged so good timing. A couple quick questions while I have you:
- What would be a good base container to start building on top of? Should I use one of the existing weewx containers (mitct02, jgoerzen, felddy etc) and modify the Dockerfile or start with something like fresh like alpine or Debian? - I would like to avoid a privilege container to access the SDR/usb. Would it be possible to serve the SDR up remotely via ser2net and the container access and consume via TCP? I wasn’t sure if there was a weewx plugin that could consume Davis packets via TCP. This could make life simpler and a more secure container. Thanks again. > On 30 Nov 2023, at 8:10 am, vince <vinceska...@gmail.com> wrote: > > You're in deep deep trouble if you think that :-) > > I did at one time reach success and put up a repo at > https://github.com/vinceskahan/weewx-rtldavis that might help you get > started, but it's written assuming you are setting up a VM rather than a > docker container for runtime.
