This particular set of instructions is based on building a standalone VM to handle WeeWX. On my network, I have an existing WebServer & an existing Automation Server. The intent is to have the weather information served up as a web page (Default WeeWX thing...) by the WebServer and also be used by the Automation Server.

There is also a dedicated Database Server which will eventually be used.

Installation

(based on an install under Mint 20)

  • wget -qO - http://weewx.com/keys.html | sudo apt-key add -
  • wget -qO - http://weewx.com/apt/weewx-python3.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install weewx

Also:, If you wish to use MySQL as the database, you'll need to either install it on this machine or connect to the DB on your Database server.

  • sudo apt-get install python3-pymysql

Will be useful. (actually, mandatory :P )
