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

    No no it’s fine . I still have soo many questions

    But i’m going to have to stop at this so that i can make my own research.

    Thank you . Your answers were written in near perfect english , punctuation, etc … everything was perfect in your responses . How did you do that !

    I would like to get into reading any recommendations ? any genre is fine

    Edit: Only one more question, I saw in your dashboard that you have tailscale and you also said that you use authentik.

    Do those tools normally go together ?

      Like I said my man, I’m willing to answer anything I can. I am not an expert nor a IT guy. There are many more skilled and knowledgable here. I just do a ton of reading, and a lot of trying, until it works correctly, then I write all that down because my brain is shit.

      I saw in your dashboard that you have tailscale

      I have Tailscale as an overlay VPN on both the pfsense firewall, and the servers themselves as a security measure. I can ‘tunnel in’ via Tailscale if I need to. It’s also useful if pull a boner like I’ve done in the past and locked myself out of my server. DOH! Dumbass. LOL

      I would like to get into reading any recommendations ? any genre is fine

      Such as technical material, or just casual entertainment reading? If you’re a new kid on the Linux/selfhosting block, I highly recommend Linux Upscale Challenge. TechnoTim has some good stuff to read. There’s also blogs like https://selfh.st/ and https://noted.lol/ tho noted.lol doesn’t seem as active as selfh.st.

      Your answers were written in near perfect english… How did you do that !

      Well, English is my native tongue, tho I wouldn’t say I speak it perfectly. I do know a few other languages such as Spanish, Patois (which you’d hear throughout the Caribbean), and a couple others just enough to get by. I also use spellcheck prolifically. If anyone ever got access to my browsing history, they’d see a ton of searches to see if I’m actually using a word correctly. I really can’t explain it more specifically than that, other than it’s just the way I converse normally? Thanks for the compliment tho, I guess. LOL
