I have only had one failure among several RPIs, I think. (I am running NetBSD but I don't think that matters here.) I do have my skins generate to /tmp/public_html as this data has no lasting value and it avoids writes. I don't have a firm belief that this is necessary -- it was just easy. My weewx RPI3 has been running since early 2018. (weewx itself late December 2017, and I swapped in a RPI3 for the original 2006 Macbook. I am using a 32G card and the machine does only weewx. So writes are basically logs (normal unix, plus weewx errors only) and database updates (sqlite3). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
