That's basically what I do. The process weewxd gets run as user 'weewx', with the .ssh subdirectory in its home directory. See the wiki article *Run as a non-root user <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Run-as-a-non-root-user>*.
But, you can do it as root. Just make sure the proper credentials are in the home directory for root. -tk On Thu, May 28, 2020 at 3:16 PM Benjamin Trey Blue <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Tom, > > I haven't made any changes to the user account that weewx uses by default > - I had assumed from my reading that it defaults to root.
