Shamefully, running a bit old version of WeeWX, from 2019, on a Raspberry Pi Zero W, which has Raspbian and mainly default settings WeeWX. The same SD card since. The Pi operates in an interceptor way, it creates a hotspot for the weather station which sends all information to WU, WeeWX with Interceptor intercepts it, meanwhile the Pi connects to the local network by Wifi as well. A bit over complicated, but it was before the FineOffset clones were offering a custom URL option in their firmware.
It was a minimum budget project, still runs without any issues. (Knock on wood.)
