In case this is useful to anyone... As the web server data is written to the SD every 5 minutes, I felt it would be appropriate to create a RAM disc for it. Should, in theory, improve lifespan of the SD card.
Anyhow, I just created an entry in */etc/fstab* for the folder which is just the weather data, in my case it's the root of the web server */var/www/html* but in your case (and default) may be */var/www/html/weather*. The entry is... *tmpfs /var/www/html tmpfs nodev,nosuid,size=20M 0 0* I gave it 20MB of RAM even though the web server is currently using ~700KB, but I have 1GB of RAM total to play with and will allow for potential expansion. Plus, it's the only thing I have on this particular Pi (Orange Pi PC running Armbian). Just means, that on boot it can take up to 5 minutes for the web server to be populated with files and will likely return a 403 error when you try to look at it from a browser. I also created a temporary splash page that just says "loading, please wait." which is loaded by a cron entry on @reboot. *cp /home/pi/temp-splash.html /var/www/html/index.html* Hope this is useful to someone. Has been quite fun to instigate. -James Muirhead. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
