Request for new Belchertown source

[ervu]

Hi Tom, is it possible to onboard a new fork of the belchertown software?

It seems that the Pat (writer of the code) is not active anymore and code is not maintained. There is a fork from uajqq that seems to do regular updates and new features. https://github.com/uajqq/weewx-belchertown-new

Thanks
Erik

Hi Tom, i have been testing the new build with the new belchertown 1.6 version, and it seems to be working great.

As i use docker compose I use a volume mount for the /data directory. Therefore I have done the upgrade in this order:
updated belchertown first via weectl extension install, and then pulled the new container mitct02/weewx:5.3.1-2.

In my test environment it runs fine without error. Will keep it in test for a couple of days before the switch to prod.

thanks !
