Hallo,
i have installed weewx 5 Hi, I installed weewx5 via pip. What I unfortunately don't understand in the instructions, how do I access the data in the browser? The IP on the local network is 192.168.2.27. And do I need a websever like apache2?

Yes and no, there are so many possibilities. For the narrow context, given you want to access the pages weewx created, on the machine, weewx is running: you need a webserver on that machine. Once this is set up, you need to have the pages accessible to the webserver. This can easily be done creating a symlink from the servers html root to the folder, where the pages reside.

Thanks, I was able to solve the problem like this, maybe it can help someone else:
ln -s ~/weewx-data/public_html/ /var/www/html
chmod o+x /root/weewx-data/public_html/
chmod o+x /root/weewx-data/
chmod o+x /root/
