I took advantage of the opportunity to start with a new OS install and did a pip install. After installing extensions and copying the database to the new location, I edited in the changes from my old weewx.conf file. Surprisingly, I had old driver detritus like interceptor entries that no longer apply. I use MQTT for several things. Mosquitto doesn't like to share anything SSL related when not running as root. Once done, every piece of the puzzle runs as a user. No more root.
