Slightly Off topic, but I'll throw this hat in the ring and hope it doesn't come back too fast!
As the title suggests, it's about locking up the SDcard as a read only filesystem, then adding weewx to utilize those same features. It works for me, it should work for others but given the variation in setups - mainly your weather hardware - that statement may be prematurely optimistic? The current version is at https://github.com/glennmckechnie/rorpi-raspberrypi and the rather long winded wiki HowTo <https://github.com/glennmckechnie/rorpi-raspberrypi/wiki/Rorpi-Home> should help to fill in the expected blanks. Anyone feel up to trying it out? If it breaks, you get to keep all the pieces, if it works it's yours to polish and shine; or mistreat as you desire. I've used the notes on a RPi3 and it worked for a simulator, running since the 31st May, and a WS1080 since the 22nd May. However it needs a wider and more varied audience, also a more critical one - I know the routine too well so am possibly making assumptions. Rank beginners would need to take vinces advice and visit edx.org Linux class at https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-linux-linuxfoundationx-lfs101x-0 <https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-linux-linuxfoundationx-lfs101x-0> or find another way to come up to speed. (Always happy to be proven wrong though.) Apprentices will probably need to wade through the HowTo, unless your close to coming out of your time; in which case you can probably skim those notes. (but if you do run into problems, go back and read the notes. It's what they are there for!) Hardened journeymen can probably just the grab the zip file and start placing/replacing/linking them as they should be. ( and if you get the message "mount is busy" visit the tips page.) If you don't fall into any of those types, or refuse to be classified, then go for it anyway. It's the way a lot of us learnt, and will continue to do so. All feedback welcome. Testimonials (that would be success stories) especially welcome (ie: it will have been useful to others besides myself!) Problems? Yeah, let me know those too. Sometimes there's no hiding. Hopefully I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. Hopefully it won't generate too much extra traffic here, and if it does I may need to learn more about google groups? I've added a section to the weewx wiki pointing to the above HowTo. That's all Folks... or is it? cheers Glenn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
