weewx station_url

[Gandalf]

Hello everybody, I have weewx installed on my Raspberi Pi and everything works fine.
I just do not know what I have to enter at "station_url". I do not have my own website.
It would be nice if someone could help me with a more detailed guide. Many Thanks!!

http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#weewxconf describes all the weewx.conf fields including station_url

station_url

If you have a website, you may optionally specify an URL for its HTML server. It will be included in the RSS file generated by WeeWX and, if you choose to opt into the station registry, it will also be included in the map of WeeWX stations.

Example:

station_url = http://www.mywebsite.com

It says it is OPTIONAL - so you can decide to just leave it blank if your server is not externally available

Thank you for your reply. I edited the entry in the "weewx.conf"
"[StdRestful]
    [[Station registry]]
        register_this_station = True "
Unfortunately, my station does not appear in the map of WeeWX stations

[Andrew Milner]

give it time - it is only actually updated about once per week I think!!

While the registry is optional, if you decide to use it, you must supply station_url, and it must be unique. If you don't have a website, then provide some other unique URL, such as a link to your Weather Underground station.

See the section [[StationRegistry]] in the User's Guide.

i ran into this when i installed weewx.

‘register_this_station’ has no effect unless ‘station_url’ is set

The other thing is that the value can be totally fake and doesn't have to resolve.  It just has to be unique.

True, but whatever value you use will be presented as a link in the registry map.

Thanks to all! I found my mistake in thinking.
The registry map is just an overview.
To display weather data you need a website where you can save them.
