Well, the original question was, how to see weewx from a public ip. I must confess, that I did not think about security issues and just did it this way: I used a IPv6 only DNS from dynv6.com. So I could readily access http://raspbee.example.dynv6.net:8000/weewx/index.html from outside. So far,

I have a couple domain names from google domains for the couple websites I have. The raspberry pi just runs weewx to upload my weather station to some of the options on there and the pi also has a broadcastify scanner feed that I have on there. On Friday, January 6, 2023 at 8:25:18 AM

Are you saying that you have a registered domain name (and that is as far as you have gone), or that you have a web server that is already successfully serving other pages to the public internet? What exactly is that raspberry pi doing? If it is serving web pages, is it the same machine that

Lots of info. Thanks. I have a website domain already and use a raspberry pi for this. I apparently just can't seem to get it to show other than on the local network. On Thursday, January 5, 2023 at 12:13:20 PM UTC-5 pannetron wrote: > If you host a public website from a personal Linux

If you host a public website from a personal Linux server, as I do, look into using fail2ban as a way to detect and block some bad actor bots. My implementation currently has about 2500 IPs blocked because they were looking for typical webserver security flaws. On Wednesday, January 4, 2023

Glad some of you find this useful. I have been using this method since it came out this summer (July 2022). I run my infrastructure (Web Server, WeeWX, MQTT, MariaDB) as containers in one stack in its own network all in Docker. I do this to limit what the cloudflare tunnel can access on my

If you're asking that question, you really shouldn't do it for security reasons. There are s many bots and automated scanners out there looking for victim sites that you'd be massively attacked within literally a minute or two. Please don't. Really. But to answer - you'd need to alter
