Yes, in thinking about this Docker implementation, it was not meant as a workflow, but rather a deployment mechanism. The way I use it is to get things working on my laptop or in a VM. Then I use the Docker workflow to deploy it to Kubernetes on GCP.
I think if one were to think of is an iterative thing where every time I made a change to a skin, a template, or weewx.conf I had to build an image, upload it to a repository, etc. I would bail. But as a deployment mechanism, it works really for me and has for years now. -- Tom Mitchell t...@tom.org Real Time Beverly, MA Weather http://weather.tom.org "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts." - Bertrand Russell On Wed, Apr 22, 2020 at 6:40 AM weerstation Maurik < l...@weerstationmaurik.nl> wrote: > Hi Sven, > > Sorry for very late reply! > > As Tom said it's not straightforward to map folders you would like to, > It is possible to use for volume mapping for /home/weewx/public_html so > you can serve HTML from your NAS. > I had no luck with in getting the conf folder and/or database folder to > map. > > Best way forward is to build your docker when changes occur. > That's why I stick to using my RPi instead of the Synology. > On the Pi I can access the whole RPi and all these folders straight away > through a share on any PC for backup, check or changes. > > > > > > > > Op dinsdag 14 april 2020 11:38:11 UTC+2 schreef Tom Mitchell: >> >> Hi Sven, >> >> Mark and Nico have had some success running their weewx on syno with >> Docker.
