Progress Report:

So, building on @captcha_incorrect 's n8n script he graciously offered, and pulling data into Grafana, and learning how to python correctly…it’s been a journey. However, I am happy to report that I have some weather data now. It’s by no means a finished product but I have made some progress.

spoiler

The extended forecast in the right hand side took me some time to figure out pagination so I could scroll through 5 days in advance. The weather tab at the top left will get a couple more tabs. One for forecast map, if I can figure that out. LOL

        Well, thank you for your kind words. I’m always willing to share what little I know with anyone who asks.

            I can’t help with the *arr stack as I don’t run it, however there are quite a few here who do and I’m sure they’d be willing to help

                That’s totally cool man.

                So in a nutshell, the reason for my network is rather multi-faceted. I dig on privacy, anonymity, and security so I run my network. It’s also a learning platform, as I do indeed love to learn new things that I didn’t know. I also just totally love technology, so selfhosting clicks with me. I also like dabbling in automation, minor programing. Additionally, I use things like Readeck because I’m always ‘clipping articles’ to read later, things that catch my fancy. I am a prolific reader. I selfhost my on Navidrome instance so I can listen to my own personal collection of music wherever I am. It’s really just a huge playground for an old soul.

                  Pretty cool setup. Navidrome and Readeck are also on my bucket list now !

                  But i got confused on the part where you said that you run your own network . What does that mean? and How does that work?

                    What does that mean? and How does that work?

                    Oh, I think I meant, in my own insufficient vernacular: ‘my network’. Meaning the LAN that I administer. Servers, TV’s, iot devices(1), servers(3), security measures like a standalone pfsense firewall, security cams, etc. Much like a commercial ISP network, just scaled down considerably and local. My services are reachable exterior of my network, protected by SSO (Authentik). I am the only user so I do not make my services publicly available to anyone but me. It’s a playground to me, that has it’s very practical uses, Even tho I’m old as dirt, I still like toys. LOL

                    Sorry. “so I run my network” was not really a complete thought.
