I am playing with the Weewx (https://github.com/martinwiest/WeeWX-Docker) distribution and since I am a sort of stuck I hope someone can help me.

The issues I am facing:

1. HTML pages are not generates (except I force this through ./wee_reports ../weewx.conf

2. For some reason I can’t link the Public_HTML directory as volume @ local FS (docker-compose.yml : - "/home/weewx/public_html/:home/weewx/public_html/“)

The steps I followed:

1. Create docker-compose.yml file.

docker-compose.yml *

version: '3.3'

services:

weewx:

image: "martinwiest/weewx"

container_name: weewx

restart: always

ports:

- "80:80"

volumes:

- "./config:/home/weewx/config:rw"

devices:

- "/dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0"

environment:

- TZ=Europe/Amsterdam

- WEEWX_UID=weewx

- WEEWX_GID=dialout

- DEVICE_PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0

- WEEK_START=6

NOTE:

1) Tried to add @ Volumes - “./config/public_html:/home/weewx/public_html:rw”

That doesn’t work. Is there a way to export this to the local File System?

Install:

pi@raspberrypi:/home/weewx $ docker-compose up -d

Html pages get generated if I use the simulator. You need to wait for an archive interval of 5 minutes. There did not seem to be any problem exporting the public_html to

volumes:
- "./config:/home/weewx/config:rw"

- "./config/public_html:/home/weewx/public_html:rw"

ensure public_html directory has chmod a+x on the docker host and check after 5 min interval (typical). You should be able to see the webpage on the localhost

When configuring for the Vantage there was a problem. The python3-serial package is not installed on the docker image. You can temporarily install it with apt update and apt install python3-serial. You can restart the container from portainer and the

the " No module named 'serial' (<class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>)" should go away. I didnt have a Vantage station to test with but it looks like the driver times out after 4 tries. You can also try setting debug to 1 in the weewx.conf file for a bit more info in the log.

Hope that helps.
