I did see that, but I have a permission issue that I need to solve for now.
I really appreciate all your comments/posts over the past years. I've been
able to find a lot of answers from your posts. You are very patient and
helpful!
Thank you!

Thanks, Jon! I changed the directory in the weewx.conf file to point to the
external drive's symbolic link rather than /var/lib/weewx. The result was a
critical error:
CRITICAL __main__: Database OperationalError exception: unable to open
database file
So it seems it is a permissions issue as
It's really very simple. Just set SQLITE_ROOT to the directory where you
want the database to be saved. You'll find it under [[SQLite]]
[DatabaseTypes]
...
[[SQLite]]
...
SQLITE_ROOT = /path/to/your/sqlite/dir

Hi Ben
I was sneaky, I moved the weewx directories to the NAS and then created the
symbolic link in the place of it. I am lucky in that I have a production
system on 4.10.0 whilst I build my 5.0.2 system. It is really important to
get the permissions right otherwise it will be a disaster...!
Hi, John!
Yes that is exactly what I'm trying to do as with your NAS, but with an
external drive USB-connected to the RPi. It's mounted and I can write to
it. I just haven't quite figured out (or found the resource yet) to update
the appropriate weewx conf file to tell weewx to use the
I am doing something similar using my NAS.
I have mounted the NAS and then created symbolic links to the appropriately
named folders or directories on the NAS. When mounting the NAS, I needed to
make sure that the permissions were correct for weewx which was eventually
quite simple to achieve.
