A quick note to all users.
I am replacing FOREVER with PM2. FOREVER has not been updated in over two years and I ran into issues when adding modules to the application.

I use Prowl for alerts.

I have never used Prowl but there are nine packages on npm so one should work.
@bpaauwe Do you have an account on Prowl?

@GaryFunk - this thread is getting massively long and hard to keep up with. Do you have a quick synopsis of what youāre building someplace with what the current vision is and where youāre at ?

I have rewritten most of the files and an install script that does all the work for you.
@dan.gealt @eric Have a look at the images below and see if this handles the changes you made manually.
The only thing I have not done is add the schedules to crontab. Iāll be working on a method to add the data.

Hi Gary,
I like it! Looks like it will take care of the local user preferences and handle the config file creation. Should make it a lot easier for all of the users!
Just an FYI . . . since I rebuilt my RPi installation from scratch on 18-May-2018 (with a 32GB memory card) my weatherflow1 database has grown to 1.4GB. RapidWind and HubStatus make up 963MB of that total. Here is the latest view of table sizes:
The RPi shows about 17GB Free out of 27GB Total space.
I am thinking about how long we might want to save the RapidWind and the HubStatus detail and what other maintenance scripts we might want to build for the long-term health of WFArchiver. Not to put extra stuff on your plate (because it doesnāt seem like an urgent matter) but I was just wondering what your thoughts are on those DB maintenance functions.
And . . . once again . . . thank you for creating this tool! It is the most handy tool in the toolbox for data analysis and for troubleshooting on the Smart Weather Stations!
Dan.

The only thing left to do is let one name the folder to install to. But is there really a need to change it from wfarchive?
@bpaauwe @eric @dan.gealt @michael @tepahu @Bumbershoot Comments, questions, suggestions?

I guess I would say that it would be good from a consistency standpoint if all users installed to the same folder name. I like that the beginning of the script tells the user how to put the install folder in a non-default location, but it still seems like the install folder name should remain as āwfarchiveā even if the user puts it somewhere other than āhome/piā. At least if they put it in a path like āhome/vanilla/icecream/wfarchiveā you could still have a script down the road that searches for āwfarchiveā and then does whatever the script is supposed to do in the right place.
A quick answer, but still my old verbose self . . .

The schedules are now automatically added tot crontab.
Now I just need someone to test it.
If no one else can do it sooner, Iāll be back in town on Friday 7-sept and will do it then.

to me better keep the name. If you later need to add a script/module you already have the folder name as standard. If you go for a user defined one ā¦ you need to include a variable for the name folder and use it everywhere ā¦ not sure this will make future work any easier.
Just add a line to the install script to warn that the user should install it on a partition where there is space ā¦ some installs use several partitions, ex. for the boot part etc and those are generally pretty small.

The web configuration is working and even allows for restarting the applications from the web page.
This wasnāt as difficult as I thought it would be.
