Well, after doing an apt upgrade the problem seems solved. I've set a cron job to capture the RSS of the weewx daemon periodically, and after several days running it seems stable at under 50MB. So the theory about a buggy library looks likely. On Wednesday, 1 December 2021 at 5:15:50 am

Sorry Clyde, this one pre-dates the wee_extension installer. I've updated the readme in the github repo with today's installation instructions. Download the zip file, install with wee_extension, restart weewx. That simple. On Tuesday, November 30, 2021 at 1:21:04 AM UTC-8 Clyde wrote: >

correction - I do apparently have swap enabled, only 100MB. That must have been the default Raspbian setup. On Tuesday, 30 November 2021 at 5:59:03 pm UTC+11 Clyde wrote: > Thanks for the replies - in no particular order: > > I'm running "Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)" on a Pi Zero. I used to

Thanks for the replies - in no particular order: I'm running "Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)" on a Pi Zero. I used to run Raspbian Wheezy on an original Pi, with weewx 3.9.2. I don't *think* this problem was there when I first migrated to 4.5.1 - but I haven't touched the system since then so

We have seen many instances where memory has grown after a system update. Some underlying library starts to leak. Vice-versa as well. Perhaps in the last two days you did an update that fixed whatever was broken? On Thu, Nov 25, 2021 at 2:06 PM Clyde wrote: > Thanks, that was helpful - I had

You might want to install my memory extension (link) to get some data and make some minimal graphs to go along with that. I run on a 128MB system which runs for many many months without issues, FWIW, with Belchertown and several other

Thanks, that was helpful - I had been looking in /var/log/messages. The syslog does contain useful information: Nov 23 07:32:10 weather kernel: [4443467.475752] Out of memory: Killed process 25057 (python3) total-vm:357356kB, anon-rss:255512kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:0

Not much information here. I know you think there is nothing in the log, but humor us, include it anyway. Please see *Help! Posting to weewx user* . The log /var/log/syslog is preferred. On Thu, Nov 25, 2021 at 12:57 PM Clyde

[weewx-user] Weewx service stops randomly

2021-11-25 Thread Clyde
I'm running weewx 4.5.1 with a Belchertown skin on a Raspberry pi. All was working fine, but recently the service randomly stops. There is nothing in the /var/log/messages other than normal reports. Restarting the service (`service weewx restart`) resumes normal operation until the next time.
