i agree with vince: weewx provides a root directory for its html tree, and
there its responsibility towards nginx ends.
nginx picks up from there, and maps the weewx html root to url location / (if
the website is dedicated to weewx)
so if weewx root html is /home/weewx/station/public_html then nginx interface
to weewx would be something like:
server {
root /home/weewx/station/public_html;
index index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
noting that nginx interface to network (server name, ports to listen to etc)
are in addition.
cheers
