I'd do it this way: - leave your existing installation running
- install v5 the pip way, exactly like described here, including provisioning a new station: https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/quickstarts/pip/ - provision the station with default values - start and verify it - copy your old weewx.conf over the newly created one - check your paths in your weewx.conf (WEWWX_ROOT, HTML_ROOT, SKIN_ROOT and so on) - in case of using sqlite: copy your database to ~/weewx-data/archive, overwriting the newly created one, if the file names are the same, otherwise delete the newly created one, to have things tidy - install all extensions (drivers, skins, ...) you had before , see: https://weewx.com/docs/5.0/utilities/weectl-extension/ - if any, copy all your bin/user files that didn't come with an installer to ~/weewx-data/bin/user/ - if your device isn't limited to exclusive access, run weewxd in the venv and validate - if your device is limited to exclusive access, stop the old installation and run (the new) weewxd in the venv and validate - once validated, enjoy Depending on your hardware, you might want to copy the udev rules and apply them (~/weewx-data/util/udev) Depending on your needs and environment, create and enable systemd scripts (~/weewx-data/util/systemd) gary....@gmail.com schrieb am Mittwoch, 21.
