Weather station playing up has to rebuild, but found Weewx 5 has some breaking changes and world has moved on so here goes.
NB Weewx can be installed
10 Feb 2024. Weewx 5.0.2
1) Burn images Raspberry pi Legacy 32 bit lite.023-12-05 for headless operation, then install updates and Nginx.
pi@PiWeewx:~ $ sudo apt update .... pi@PiWeewx:~ $ sudo apt full-upgrade ... pi@PiWeewx:~ $ sudo apt remove apache2 ... pi@PiWeewx:~ $ sudo apt install nginx ... pi@PiWeewx:~ $ sudo systemctl start nginx ### Check webserver is running.
Install Weewx. Instructions here.
# 1st time only allow apt to see weewx
sudo apt install -y wget gnupg
# NB Bug workaround: You may need to use the keys-old.html
wget -qO - https://weewx.com/keys.html | \
sudo gpg --dearmor --output /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/weewx.gpg
echo "deb [arch=all] https://weewx.com/apt/python3 buster main" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list
## Install Weewx
sudo apt update
sudo apt install weewx
Install SDR extension for Weewx. This is a bit undocumented at present so some experimentation gives:.

Run sdr.py to examine parsed output:
pi@PiWeewx:$ cd /etc/weewx pi@PiWeewx:$ sudo PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/weewx python bin/user/sdr.py --cmd="rtl_433 -M utc -F json"
# If using USB stick you may need to give the user weewx permission to accesss the USB port
sudo usermod -aG plugdev weewx
Now the BME280 drivers. First activate the I2C and spi interfaces:
pi@PiWeewx:~ $sudo raspi-config
# Select interface options->I2C->Yes
# Select interface options->SPI->Yes
# Reboot computer
sudo reboot.
You may need to install pip, the python package installer before you can install the BME drivers.:
pi@PiWeewx:~ $ sudo apt install python3-pip
