I am still using the old Standard skin and was playing around with the beta v5 version that existed before this release candidate, so I wasn't new to the venv, etc. One thing that got me: If it's an install on a new Debian system (mine was), we have to tell the system to trust weewx.com. That's in the documentation but not in your instructions above. I tried adding the weewx.list to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, and it didn't like it. Adding the key as per https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/quickstarts/debian/ fixed that. Everything looks fine on Debian 12 on a Pi 5 . . . so I give it a thumbs up!
https://ve1dx.net/v5/ <-- There are a lot of customizations here that I added over the years, and they all work. - Paul VE1DX On Thursday, December 21, 2023 at 7:07:40 PM UTC-4 Tom Keffer wrote: > Celebrate the solstice (coming up in 4 hours) and the start of Winter with > a WeeWX release candidate! > > *Changes since b17* > We gave up on a standalone logger and have gone back to whatever your > system uses.
