Have you seen this extension for the Ecowitt API? Excellent implementation that may save you a lot of time.

You can only run one driver, however weewx-gw1000 can also be run as a service. Quote from the repository: -
‘The GW1000 driver can be operated as a traditional WeeWX driver where it is the source of loop data or it can be operated as a WeeWX service where it is used to augment loop data produced by another driver’.

Have a look at the wiki https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-gw1000/wiki which tells you how to setup as a service. Regarding data my personal suggestion would be to create an additional database for Ecowitt and bind to that. You could then pull data from each database as and when you require it, even integrate the two sets of database into one website.

That sounds interesting, is there some documentation that shows how to control where the data goes when running it as a service?

One thing I am keen to try is using the config file to define the directory as you show above Vince, but that will have to wait till I have time to experiment on my "spare" raspberry Pi. Not trying that on my live system. So for the time being the directory is defined as a constant
I used to use Virtual Box all the time but these days tend to spin up EC2 hosts, but hadn't even thought of that for WeeWX testing, so definitely going to give that a go
