Show hostname in About This Station

[cric...@pobox.com]

Is there a relatively pain free way to include the hostname running the weewx instance in the About This Station?  I've got 4 instances doing different things, and I tend to forget which host is generating which set of graphs.

I'm running ver. 4.10.2, using the basic Seasons skin.

Thx, Chris

Assuming you want it in the seasons skin, you can edit about.inc.

Add the line:

#import platform

And add a row to the table.

   <tr>

      <td class="label">Host Name</td>

      <td class="data">${platform.uname().node}</td>

    </tr>

You do need to worry about updating the skin as it would overwrite this change.  Perhaps there is a better way.
