I have been remiss in upgrading my Weewx implementation and have decided it's time to do that. I'm running version 3.9.1 (!) and plan to move to the latest version 5.x. My install was setup.py. My station is a Davis Vantage Vue.
I'm running on a Pi Zero W with Buster OS and an added RTC. I've looked at the upgrade guide, at least briefly, so far. I have a couple of questions: 1: I also want to upgrade the OS. I have a spare Pi 3B+ (also running on Buster) and think I'll move Weewx to that device. Should I move my implementation to the 3B+ before moving forward? 2: Should I upgrade the OS first, or do the Weewx upgrade first? 3: Am I best doing the Weewx upgrade in stages; moving to a version 4.x of Weewx first before going to 5.x or go directly to 5.x? If so, which 4.x version? The Upgrade guide talks about moving 4.x setup.pi to 5.x, but not moving from 3.x to 5.x. 4: I know I need to install Python 3.6 or higher. I'll check the Upgrade guide on that. 5: I've seen a number of posts regarding expanding the database. Should I do that before upgrading Weewx? Or is that ifo in the Uprade guide? Thanks in advance.
