This particular set of instructions is based on building a Debian 12 based LXC under Proxmox to handle WeeWX. On my network, I have an existing WebServer & an existing Automation Server. The intent is to have the weather information served up as a web page (Default WeeWX thing...) by the WebServer and also be used by the Automation Server.
There is also a dedicated Database Server which we will be using. (can't possibly do things the easy way...)
(Based on: WeeWX: Installation on Debian-based systems)
Originally, the old version of this article was done with a much earlier version of WeeWX & our old Accurite weather station. Things have seriously changed since those days...
Configure apt
sudo apt install -y wget gnupgwget -qO - https://weewx.com/keys.html | sudo gpg --dearmor --output /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/weewx.gpgecho "deb [arch=all] https://weewx.com/apt/python3 buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/weewx.list
Install WeeWX
sudo apt updatesudo apt install weewx
During this step, you will be asked for all the details about your install.
Fill everything in as best you can, but you can indeed change things later too.
If you are using weather station hardware that is supported by default, go ahead and select that hardware when asked. In my case, I'm currently running an EcoWitt weather station & that will require a little more effort. For now, I'm selecting Simulator as my hardware type.
