I just measured the time it takes for me to do the full rsync of
/var/www/html/weewx .
Rersults: real 0m0.438s / user 0m0.050s / sys 0m0.107s
Source was my main computer (5y old mother board) to a RPi400 (Rpi4B witj 4
GB mem, inside a keyboard)
So your connection must be very slow to make it around 5 minutes.
In this case, a possible "trick" could be to use the "compression" option
of rsync. Add -z or --compression in the options of rsync.
The size of all transmitted files is reduced by ~30 %. In facts, the image
files are almost unchanged, but they are all rather small, while the
Index.html and other text files are strongly compressed.
30 % reductionis not much, but is still 3.5 min instead of 5 which would
solve you problem.
Before changing the configurations, you could test just rsync with the
following command on the machine running weewx (not the www server):
time rsync -av /var/www/html/weewx/index.html <www user>@<your
www-server>:
Then remoce index.html on the <www server> and try the same rsync on the
weewx machine, but with compression:
time rsync -avz /var/www/html/weewx/index.html <www user>@<your
www-server>:
Do you get some/sufficient improvement ? I would be interested to see
your results and possibly make some (helpfull ?) comments.
Good luck ! Yours, Paul
