iiPythonx/weather

An efficient weather monitoring application using OpenWeatherMap and Python.

Initial setup

• Clone the repository (Download ZIP or git clone https://github.com/iiPythonx/weather)
• Change into the repo directory (cd weather)
• Install the requirements (pip install -U -r reqs.txt)
• Setup the config.toml file according to Configuration

Launching

Recommended usage:

python3 -m uvicorn src:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

Alternatively, you can launch via launch_worker.py:

python3 launch_worker.py

Configuration

Before you can actually use the recorder, you need to create a config.toml file with the following template:

# OpenWeatherMap related stuff
openweather_api_key = "https://home.openweathermap.org/api_keys"
openweather_city_id = 0123456
scrape_interval     = 10

# If you want to change the default database location:
# database_location   = "/var/weather/db"

openweather_city_id can be obtained from OpenWeatherMap, as well as openweather_api_key.

Running inside docker

This repository contains a very basic Dockerfile for running it inside of docker-heavy workflows.
The following would setup running from inside docker:

git clone https://github.com/iiPythonx/weather
cd weather
