  • For anyone procrastinating on finding another weather data source before the Dark Sky shutdown next week, I put together a drop-in compatible/ free/ documented API called Pirate Weather.

    This has been hella annoying for me. For literally SEVEN YEARS I've had a Pi 3B with the 7" display on my desk flawlessly showing me the weather via the old-school PiWeatherRock app/code. Then came IBM shutting down the first weather data site so had to pull down updated code and get a Dark Sky API key. Now Dark Sky API is going away but the original coder has changed his code so that just installing it on my old Pi requires me to install puppet-bolt on my WINDOWS PC. WTF? Tried it anyway and of course it failed because the dev is somehow addicted to using puppet instead of ansible and poorly documents and never updates the install process. So found the old code and tried to get it running again so I could "convert" the code to the new pirateweather/merrysky API but now the old code won't run on the newer version of Raspbian I just installed. Eventually I said "fsck it all" and went with this kluge instead. I don't like it but I figure when Dark Sky's API finally goes "dark" it's going to force some of these Raspberry Pi Weather Display developers to finally update their code and then I'll go shopping for a better solution. At least the kluge I'm using also allows for the code to run in a Docker container so folks without an RPi can use it on just about anything.
