Thnx, it is working now.

Is it possible to run this on something other than a Pi? I have an Ubuntu VM that will be dedicated to archiving Tempest data.
Yes, I have it running on a little Ubuntu server without problems right now.Just be careful if you want to run several things next to it as it uses own stuff to generate itās pages.

Iāve been thinking of trying to migrate this to a Docker container on an Ubuntu machine. Problem is that Iām not that much of a guru on Docker implementations. Anyone made this happen?

Iām working on getting this set up now and noticed a spelling error in the updaterpi.sh script. Line 37 says āUpdateing Nodeā instead of āUpdating Nodeā.
Thanks for putting this together! Hopefully Iāll have more to contribute at some point. 
Iām very excited as everything is set up and data is flowing into the MySQL DB properly. Also got Telegraf/InfluxDB monitoring the DB performance.
I checked the logs and there is one error showing up for the server.
TypeError: res.jsn is not a function
at /usr/local/bin/archivesw/server.js:606:9
I looked around in the script but couldnāt find what itās referencing.
Iām having trouble backfilling data using the dailystats script. Iāve been able to backfill the Sky and Air data using the backfill.js script and adjusting the date parameter backwards to fill past dates.
I see that the dailystats script also has a provision for modifying the script date using parameters, but I canāt get it to work. Iāve tried ānode dailystats -date -10ā but donāt get any additional data in my db.
Gary,
Any chance you could update your certificate on your website? Iām trying to re-install the script in a container on my new Proxmox server (instead of the RPi). Thanks!!
EDIT: I donāt need you to do it anymore since I was able to do it by adding --no-check-certificate to the script call.
bash -e <(wget --no-check-certificate -qO - http://fsoft.com/archivesw/script/install.sh)
But you may as well do it for the benefit of others!
Thanks again!

Yes, I need to update it.

Thanks. So I think I still need it updated. Turns out I canāt just add the --no-check-certificate to the bash script. Iām trying to manually install and running into issues. Still working through themā¦

Itās updated. Let me know if you have any other issue.

Thank you sir! Iāll try a fresh install. Was still having issues and I canāt tell if it was due to the cert or if it has something to do with my Ubuntu virtual machine in a container.

Let me know. I think itās good on my end.
It workedā¦ basically. In order to make it work on Ubuntu, I added a user named pi and created a Desktop folder for it. I did that because I saw it in the steps of the script.
The only problem I have now is trying to get it to automatically start at reboot. For whatever reason, the start1.sh doesnāt seem to be called. I made it executable, along with the start2.sh script.
I can manually start them up by going to the ā/home/pi/archiveswā directory and then running āpm2 startā. Iām thinking I need to modify one of your scripts or write my own that runs things at startup. That is, unless you have a better, cleaner idea.
I know the way Iām doing it is not how you originally intended. You meant it to be on an RPi running Raspian. Iām running it on a rackmount server, in an Ubuntu container, that has Proxmox as the hypervisor. I figured I would give it a shot and I think Iām really close.
This project of setting up my new server is definitely a challenge but I figured it would be a good way to upgrade my infrastructure and a way to ākill timeā while we are cloistered up in the house during the shelter in place times. Iām almost done working out the bugs and getting all of my VMs and containers set up.
Startup is fired in chrontab so start there.
yeah, I messed with that too. Should I be using the one under the pi login or the root login?
And maybe I need to add sudo?
Thatās a good question and I donāt have the answer. Crontab should call start1.sh so start there and make sure it can.
/home/pi/Desktop/start1.sh
calls
lxterminal --command=ābash --init-file /home/pi/Desktop/start2.shā
It looks like most of whatās in the start1.sh and start2.sh have to do with running the display, which I donāt use. Iām really just using the archive, panel and upload features.
I think Iām getting close by setting something up in /etc/init.d and using a simple script that does:
sleep 10 && cd /home/pi/archivesw && pm2 start
Now I need to just get it working upon reboot, without login.
