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
I have never thought of using tailscale like that ! it’s so genuis you won’t ever lock yourself out of your own server.
Because i don’t have much experience with exposing services on the internet i am going to stay on tailscale for now. but it would be so cool to have my friends reach my server on the internet without having to deal with tailscale
( O . O ) , New kid on the block likes the reading recommendations especially Linux Upscale Challenge because i can easily see what skills i am missing and the areas i am already comfortable in.
It’s way better that doom scrolling / binging animes for hours on end (which i am guilty of) .
Your way of conversing is genuinely amazing , i wonder how you are able to express your thoughts into words in such detail
Edit: How come here on selfhosted many people are used to linux? i thought linux was a small community! Can’t you selfhost on Win11? (I use Arch btw)
No, it’s always been a fairly large community, globally. Maybe relegated to geeks and nerds tho. It’s early iterations didn’t have a ‘Windows like GUI’. It did have interfaces, but not what people using Windows were used to. Then as the versions became more user friendly with a GUI that had icons, and such, it gained an even wider audience. Now, gaming has exploded on Linux making it even more popular. A program called Wine, can run some Windows apps in a Linux environment. If I were to guess, I’d say about 60%+/- of the global servers are Linux/Unix. It’s a very powerful OS, and one that I will probably never use to it’s fullest capabilities. Hopefully, in the future as all us old heads die off, and the younger generations who have adopted Linux as their OS of choice, will influence even more subsequent generations.
Did you just call the people of selfhosted community nerds ? LOL
I am going to try reading through the linux upscale docs before going to sleep!
If it’s possible can i pm you so that we can stay in touch ?
Absolutely bro.
