Configuration web UI?

[Warren Gill]

I found an old disk drive and managed to find this gem.

Makes me think, hmm, a config web UI would make little changes less error prone.

Feel free to cook something up that can safely (!) and securely  (!!) do whatever you think it should be able to do.  

It would need to handle at least pip and packaged installations (debian and redhat-like) and be something folks can ‘optionally’ choose to add. Bonus points if you can stop people from going outside its capabilities and hand-editing (breaking) their setup.

That’s not a small job.

Also probably not worth it; seems a majority of problems posted here are skins related.

The old wview didn't have a settings file; it was its own sqlite database.

That'd just be a path setting, similar to what weeWX does, and if weewx.conf can't be found in common locations just ask the user.

As for security, there are plenty of examples of very bad and that have bugs always surfacing (wordpress etc). Security needs to be baked in from the start and not bolted on afterwards and ease of use shouldn't trump security.
