If you're willing to do so, the easiest way is to install the v5 beta via 'pip' within a python virtual environment, as that defaults to running without any privileges required. Getting it to startup on boot might be your only issue that I can think of. I suppose you could write yourself a

Ah, All is well now. The change to Locale worked. I noticed that to my surprise, I was not running the Standard skin, I was running the seasons skin. I added my radar lines to Seasons and I am good on both issues. Thanks, Bill-AB6OR On Wednesday, August 9, 2023 at 12:11:42 PM UTC-7

1. Why not just continue to use your old skins? For the most part, skins have been upwardly compatible for a long time. In any event, to answer your question, we need a little more information. What does your [Extras] section look like in skin.conf? 2. The WeeWX applications work like any other

I have version 4 of Weewx running well after having used version 3 for a very long time. I have two questions. 1. In the standard report, I would like to display weather radar data. I added the URL and GIF information into skin.conf. Radar info was not displayed.. Likely other changes are

Might seem like an odd request, but I'm trying to find some guidance on installing weewx as a normal user on a shared linux host without root access. I'll be using websockets to get weather station data (Tempest Weatherflow), so I don't need serial or USB access on the server. My goal is to

Certainly an interesting spin-off discussion: developing a platform to ensure our data will remain our data. A first approach could be designing a console. Many stations out there, modular or not, use wireless sensors that only transmit their readings unencrypted and simplex. It should be
