weewx docker build files to run v3 on top of raspbian

Docker implementation of weewx for FineOffSetUSB

This small set of files lets you spin up a working Docker instance of weewx on top of Raspbian within just a few minutes.

You can easily get Docker for Raspberry Pi by using HypriotOS. This Docker repo may be easily modified to work with Resin.io, but hopefully they will better support USB storage in the future. I have the Weather databases saved in the volume /media/WXdisk. You will have to link the volume on your host machine to the container for this to work properly.

The root password is 'root' which you should of course change to something suitably obscure for you.

Yes, I called the resulting image 'rpi-weewx' :-)

build instructions

make a working directory
cd into there
copy the contents of this repo into that directory

modify files for your configuration

• Dockerfile —if you would like to enable webcam upload
• weewx.conf —Weather station settings
• wunderground_upload_cam.conf —if you would like to use webcam uploader

build the image with the desired image tag name

docker build -t WXpiimage .

verify your image is available in docker

$ docker images
REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             VIRTUAL SIZE

run the image in a new container

$ run -dit --name wxpi --privileged -p 22 -v /media/WXdisk:/media/WXdisk  --restart always WXpiimage

to expose ports to the local host

$ run -dit --name wxpi --privileged -p 2201:22 -v /media/WXdisk:/media/WXdisk  --restart always WXpiimage
(this exposes container port 22 to localhost 2201)
