I recently purchased a Davis Instruments Vantage Pro 2 weather station and would like to log data and make it available across an Internet link since it is installed at a remote property. Weewx appears to be up to the task, however I've found that it's not a straightforward task to do this using a Raspberry Pi. The biggest hurdle appears to be the transition from Sys V init to systemd between Debian wheezy and jessie and a lack of updates to the documentation and Debian packages at weewx.com. I've updated the apt sources list in a fresh install of the current release of Raspbian and installed weewx, however it appears that the daemon is not running afterward as expected. Elsewhere in this newsgroup are a few threads describing work-arounds, but so far I haven't been able to get things to work.
Can anyone provide a link to a straightforward set of instructions for installing and configuring weewx under the current release of Raspbian? I'm not at all familiar with systemd and would really prefer not to have to divert down the path of learning that just to get this to work. I suppose an alternative involves starting with an archived copy of Raspbian-wheezy, though that's pretty far out of date at this point. Should I take that route, am I likely to encounter any difficulties related to the fact that the Debian package for weewx is (evidently) in an even older squeeze repository, if "/etc/apt/sources.d/weewx.list" is configured as the documentation describes? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
