I think it's well established that the RaspiOS is just fine for all the things you are trying to do, and my 'guess' is you are either running into firewalling issues or you're not running sudo when needed. Without seeing your logs and/or error messages, nobody can help you at all basically.
There 'is' ubuntu for the pi if you wanted to go that way. I just installed the 64-bit variant of LTS server on a pi4 yesterday and it worked fine in minimal testing, but personally I see zero reason to run other than the RaspiOS which works in every way for anything I've ever tried to do on it. It's just another Debian(ish) distro anyway. I do have to ask, however, why are you trying to use MariaDB rather than the default sqlite3 ? That ups your complexity factor significantly. The sqlite3 default just works right away out of the box. If you can't get something simple like rsync to work, I'd suggest sticking with sqlite3 for the least complicated setup if at all possible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
