Re: [weewx-user] Unable to remove or purge weewx! Really?!

kevin, please post the contents of /var/log/syslog from the period of time when you did the 'purge'. when dpkg fails on pre- or post-inst, it means that the installation package encountered a configuration that it was not expecting and that it was unable to resolve. i'd love to know what stat

If you host a public website from a personal Linux server, as I do, look into using fail2ban as a way to detect and block some bad actor bots. My implementation currently has about 2500 IPs blocked because they were looking for typical webserver security flaws. On Wednesday, January 4, 2023 at

[weewx-user] Davis VP2 reliability with Rasp Pi zero

2023-01-05 Thread iams...@gmail.com
I've been using weewx running on a Pi Zero with no other tasks. Unfortunately, I live in a area that suffers power losses, often during a weather events, so I lose that data. What typically happens is that when the power comes back on, I get the dreaded "..page timestamp... less than final time

It should work. What happens if you 'pull the plug' on your VP2? Does it keep running? Perhaps the batteries are bad? Personally, I use a UPS for both the weewx server and the VP2 and haven't had a memory corruption problem in at least a decade. So, you could try that. On Thu, Jan 5, 2023 at

"What happens if you 'pull the plug' on your VP2? Does it keep running? Perhaps the batteries are bad? Yes, it keeps running, that is why it seems to be a weewx issue to me. In other words, if the Pi Zero running weewx were not connected to the VP2, the data logger memory would not get corrupte

It is much more likely your power supply being the problem. Get a ups to smooth the spikes (dunno if rpi hat does that)⊣ GE ⊢    phone➔brevityOn 6 Jan 2023 12:46 pm, "iams...@gmail.com" wrote:"What happens if you 'pull the plug' on your VP2? Does it keep running? Perhaps the batteries are bad?Yes,
