Weather Stats

With "Weather Stats" atmospheric temperature-, humidity- and pressure data can be long-term saved and displayed. The data can be collected for example with the BME280. Boards with this sensor can be purchased in various online shops and operated with a Raspberry Pi for example.

This application is an easy and efficient way to collect and display collected weather data. It is not necessary to connect to a database server or to install a new one. Also it is not necessary to use Grafana to show the collected data. The entire application consists of a few PHP files and a few lines of JavaScript code. Charts are drawn with the use of the JavaScript library Chart.js. The data is persisted in a SQLite database, which is natively supported by PHP (no installation required). This application runs in a single Docker comtainer and uses a official PHP Docker image.

The application is basic-auth-secured. Set your credentials in the env file and in your helm chart values file. This authentication method is only secure with activated transport encryption!

Run

Run as single Docker container

Run the last image version:

docker run -p 80:80 -it --rm --env-file ./env --name weather-stats inettech/weather-stats

Run the latest image version and mount the database directory on the host file system:

docker run -v `pwd`/db:/db -p 80:80 -it --rm --env-file ./env --name weather-stats inettech/weather-stats

Run locally for development

Run and mount the web directory:

docker build -t weather-stats .

docker run -v `pwd`/app:/var/www/html/ -p 80:80 -it --rm --env-file ./env --name weather-stats weather-stats

Init

curl http://Testuser:Testpass@localhost/init.php

Send some dummy data

curl http://Testuser:Testpass@localhost/save.php --data "sensorid=1&temperature=22&pressure=1008&humidity=60"

Backup data

Simply copy the database file weather.db to location of your choice. With Docker:

docker cp weather-stats:/db/weather.db /path/to/backups/weather.db

Send data

Simply send the POST parameters "sensorid", "temperature", "pressure" and "humidity" to "/save.php". For example with curl:

curl https://Testuser:Testpass@weather_server/save.php --data "sensorid=1&temperature=22&pressure=1008&humidity=60"

or with "Python-Requests":

#!/usr/bin/python
import requests
requests.post("http://Testuser:Testpass@localhost/save.php", data={'sensorid':'1','temperature':'22','pressure':'1008','humidity':'60'})

ToDo's

Show data from multiple sensors.
