Just one last update - I took your starting point and tweaked it a bit to
do a multistage build to drop the size by 75% and added a
docker-compose.yml file to bring everything up and save persistent storage
under /mnt/weertlsdr/{archive,log,public_html} for non-NAS users. Works
fine here for me on a current raspios pi4 under docker.
https://github.com/weewx-contrib/weewx-rtldavis/tree/main/docker if you
wanted to take a look.
Thanks again for posting the good starting point.
