WeeWX on Debian 11 Bullseye

[Gordon Dickens]

Hello all,

I have been successfully running my weather website powered by a Davis Vantage Pro weather station with Weewx on Debian 10 Buster for the past two years.  My exact configuration is as follows:

- WeeWX version 4.5.1

- Belchertown skin version 1.2

- Real time updates via MQTT mosquitto Version: 1.5.7-1+deb10u1

- Apache version 2.4.38-3+deb10u5

- Linux kernel version 4.19.0-17-amd64

Everything is working great, however, I will need to upgrade the OS to Debian 11 Bullseye soon.

So, my question is as follows.  Has anyone encountered any problems upgrading and running WeeWX/Belchertown/MQTT on Debian 11 Bullseye?  I just want to understand what I am getting into when I upgrade the OS. I have several other Debian web servers and I have already upgraded one server from Debian 10 to Debian 11 without any major issues, however, that server did not run WeeWX.  So, I am hoping that some of you folks have already done the upgrade and I want to hear about your experiences.

Thanks,

Gordon

Whoops - think I hit the wrong button on my previous reply!

As I said - any hurry to upgrade?  Bullseye was only officially released ~1 month ago, and Buster is supported until mid-2024.

I'd wait for early kinks in Bullseye to be ironed out, but that's just me...

I ran both setup.py and dpkg packaged weewx under bullseye in a virtual machine without any problems.

You shouldn't expect any issues.

Hi Vince and Owen,

Thanks very much for your prompt replies.  I found Vince's reply very encouraging.

Has anybody else upgraded to Debian 11 and, if so, what was your experience with WeeWX/Belchertown skin/MQTT?

Thanks

Gordon
