DEPRECATED - THIS IS AN OLD PROOF_OF_CONCEPT (unsupported as of 2022-1123)

Docker implementation of weewx in simulator mode

This runs pairs of docker containers configured to work together:

• an nginx container from upstream using a local public_html tree
• a weewx container writing to that public_html tree and saving its archives to a local dir

Note: this compose files uses /var/tmp/weewx_html and /var/tmp/weewx_archive for persistent storage

to build:

docker-compose build                     # to build all variants
docker-compose build weewx_pkg_deb10     # to build only one variant

to run with logs in foreground:

docker-compose up                        # to run all variants
docker-compose up weewx_pkg_deb10        # to run only one variant

to run detached:

docker-compose up -d                     # to run all variants
docker-compose up -d weewx_pkg_deb10     # to run only one variant

for a list of currently supported variants

centos	7	setup	2	8867	1220

known issues:

• centos variants obviously aren't anywhere near as stripped as they could be
• all the images could probably be cleaned up significantly for size

to stop all containers and delete networks

docker-compose down 
docker-compose down weewx_pkg_deb10    # to shut down just that one pair of containers

disclaimers

• if on a mac and docker-compose is glacially slow, add the following to your /etc/hosts

    127.0.0.1	localhost localunixsocket.local
