Thanks for your quick reply. The NOAA files are stored within the HTML area served by nginx, thus should be visible for a web browser. Only the selection is not possible because the variables are set by CheetahGenerator - as to be expected.
Thus my best solution will be data migration. The author of the new ecowitt driver even provides an sql script for that purpose. I'll give it a try. Tom Keffer schrieb am Samstag, 25.
