I am looking at weewx for Linux. It is written in Python, open source and seems to have a very active user community. I have been using VWS for over 10 years, but have fought with it all that time. I have no need for a desktop weather app and only need it to generate web pages. I have my own servers and I just want something to generate the pages. VWS runs on the desktop, but I prefer to run headless servers. I tried to make the case for a Windows service version to Ed years ago, and he never seemed interested. Keeping things running 24/7 with Windows updates and assorted power outages has always been a problem for me. I think this is the straw that will break the camels back and force me into using something a little more suitable for the way things are done these days. VWS will never be other than a desktop product, and desktop products are dead. Web based headless systems are really the norm now, and I think it is time to put in the work make the switch. I am a programmer anyway, so anything I need that weewx doesn't do, I'll do myself.
