Recent radar no working

[Christian Schuhmann (I__-CRaZY-__I)]

Hello weewx friends,

my system is running in docker with weewx 4.9.1, weewx-gw1000 driver, the Weather data center 2.3.2 skin and database is mariadb. 

I'm a complete newbie in weewx.

My ecowitt GW1100 is running with the latest firmware V2.2.1 and not connected to any cloud services, i uploaded only the GW1100 live data to home assistant.

Any Idea why the "Recent radar" is not wokring?

Regrads,

Chris

What skin are you running ?   That one does not look familiar.

What does your weewx.conf stanza for that skin contain ?

Do you have any errors in your logs ?

Skin: Weather Data Center 2.3.2

    [[WdcReport]]
        skin = weewx-wdc
        enable = true
        lang = de

I have only the output from the docker log, no logfiles stored /var/log/weewx or /home/weewx/

[vince]

Again, we need to see your skin.conf or weewx.conf where you set the radar URL.

Did it 'ever' work ?

It has never worked.

Can you confirm the radar_img and radar_url links are correct? When I try to load those links, I get a 'Server cant be found' error.

Quick google says the -aa hostname was a hack somebody figured out years ago when WU broke things.  It doesn't even resolve in a DNS lookup today.  "radblast.wunderground.com" does resolve in DNS but doesn't respond to a URL query.

So WeatherUnderground is broken.   Like it always seems to be.
