It's a little unclear if IBM will keep to the centos-7 EOL date of 2024 or not, if that helps any. While we know centos-8 will essentially become rhel-next-rolling-release-candidate, they haven't said what they'll do with centos-7 moving forward as far as I've heard. Maybe that helps a little.

How long does this check take when weewx restarts ? How much data do you think is being missed ? We'd have to see some logs. Set debug=1 and restart weewx and let it run for a couple archive periods. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user"

A quick FYI for folks running old ubuntu-1804 versions (bionic). If you install weewx via packages, there is no python3-cheetah package available to install, so the normal python3 dpkg installation fails. A workaround is to use the python2 package instructions which work fine. (tested in va
