@Sidney - I think you are confusing a few things and are comparing apples with pears. You may not be aware of the functionality of and the need to have a webserver (program). CumulusMX has an inbuilt webserver, but not one which is available to users other than the CMX users. So when you can reach CMX via a defined port and the URL of your weewx server e.g. IP:8998 this doesn't mean that a generally available webserver is installed.

So, as Vince already mentioned, a webserver like nginx or apache2 needs to be installed for you to see the weewx skin via a browser via the URL. You can of course open /var/www/html/weewx/index.html in a web browser by loading it into the browser, but to reach it via the URL ip-address/weewx a webserver is needed which has access to the html-root (default /var/www/html) and subdirectories and replies to your http request.

Thank you, Vince.
Seems I'm a bit lost in it and will be exploring it to find the trouble.

    You didn't provide enough detail to really understand your setup.
      Does Cumulus MX have some software it runs that responds on port
    8998 ?

    Did you even install a normal webserver such as nginx or apache ?
      If not, see the wiki (link)

    how to do install one and hook it together with weewx.

            correct, but weewx (its Seasons skin) doesn't have a
            realtime dashboard (except you install the mqtt based
            Belchertown skin).
            The update interval is defined in weewx.conf and could go
            down to one minute instead of five minutes (in theory - in
            practice to be found out if the reports can complete in
            that short time)

                Hi, I believe I've successfully installed weewx. The
                manual says:

                After about 5 minutes (the exact length of time
                depends on your archive interval), copy the following
                and paste into a web browser. You should see your
                station information and data.

                /var/www/html/weewx/index.html
                Can anyone help me how to call for this index from
                another computer on the same network? I'm connected
                to my Raspberry over SSH and cannot open the browser
                there. Thank you.
