weewx is designed for unix/linux systems, so in my opinion you should be running on a native linux/usinx system rather than some variety of linux running on windows 10.
run on an RPI and get to know the delights of linux/raspbian/whatever. Collect the data in the sqlite database. Generate a website also on the rpi to display the wether data using one of the weewx skins customised to your requirements. Use your browser on the windows PC to view your web pages being updated on the RPi. Use SSH to access the RPI over your home netwoek so you never actually use the RPI GUI. Not sure what data files you want on the PC as they would all be kept within the database on the RPi On Thursday, 20 February 2020 16:13:18 UTC+2, david glenn wrote: > > It may not be relevant but I am using the WeatherLink LIVE device to > receive the sensor data and transfer it to my network. > > On Sunday, February 2, 2020 at 9:52:51 AM UTC-5, david glenn wrote: >> >> I am new to weewx and have very basic linux and python skills.
