William, The only thing that you need to know regarding WeeWx on FreeBSD, is that the rc script no longer works on boot. The bundled script uses a legacy format that is no longer fully supported. I haven’t had any luck writing my own. Any time I reboot the server, i.e. for OS updates, I manually run "service weewx start” after logging in.
