Insallation of Weewx on Synology NAS

[Ivan Schrooyen]

Hello,

Has anyone managed to install Weewx on a Synology NAS?

I am trying to follow the procedure described here without success: http://weewx.com/docs/debian.htm

I get error message saying : apt-get command not found.

Trying to fix this one brings me other ones, and I am a bit lost...

Thanks in advance for your help!

I did not install weewx on my NAS

I used to have weatherDisplay running on a win10 vm on my Synology NAS.

every time weatherDisplay write a data in a file, the disk of the NAS were awake, while

disks are usually sleeping in out-of-work hours. Also I had to stop all unnecessary services

running on windows, and probably you'll have to tune your linux distribution as well.

My VP2 was connected with USB, and the USB connexion disconnect sometimes, and I had

to restart the NAS. It was like if under certain circonstances, the USB port was not available

anymore in my VM.

Then I lost a coupe of week of data, because I was traveling and not monitoring my VP2...

Probably with an ethernet connexion this problem should not exist...

I decided to buy a Raspberry, and switch to weewx.

And it just works, I even don't have to monitor it every day..

I'm quite sure that the electricity power used by the raspPI is lower than the supplemental power generated by the supplemental disk I.O...

Just a feedback on Synology VM, that I use for other purposes.
