Move data files from /NOAA to new computer

[Tim]

I had a computer running Ubuntu 12.04 and weewx v3.2.1.   It died.  It stored its data in /var/www/weewx/NOAA/   I got a new computer and it has Ubuntu 18.04 and weewx  v3.8.2 and the data is stored in /var/www/html/weewx/NOAA.  If I move the data from the old computer to the new one, how can I get the /var/www/html/weewx/index.html file to show this data?

I searched and did not find anything that addressed this.  Sorry if I missed it.

Thank you,

Tim

You can just copy the NOAA files around

do you mean that you have the old data ONLY in NOAA files, or also in the database??

if you had salvaged the old database and copied that to the new machine then weewx should have regenerated the NOAA files for you anyway on startup

can you possibly explain in more detail what you have done, what you have rescued and what exactly the problem is??

I only have the .txt files from ...NOAA   But I think I can get the other.

Are you saying if I copy /var/lib/weewx/weewx.sdb to the new computer that the NOAA files will be regenerated?   I can try that.   Thanks.

That worked!  (copying weewx.sdb to the new computer)  As you knew it would.    Thanks a zillion.

That sounds like a sqlite database, and the real store of your weather
history.

Yes, your NOAA files will be recreated.
