# Integrating with a web server
|
|
|
|
## If the server is on the same machine
|
|
|
|
The reports generated by WeeWX can be served by a web server running on the same machine as WeeWX. See the wiki article [Configure a web server](https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Configure-a-web-server-(Apache,-NGINX-or-lighttpd)) for how to do this.
|
|
|
|
## If the server is on a different machine
|
|
|
|
Use FTP or RSYNC to transfer the files generated by WeeWX to your remote server. In WeeWX, FTP and RSYNC are implemented as reports. They are configured in the [`[StdReport]`](../../usersguide/weewx-config-file/stdreport-config/) section of the WeeWX configuration file.
|
|
|
|
For example, the following configuration would use RSYNC to copy the html and images files from the standard report to a folder `/var/www/html/weewx` on the server `wx.example.com`:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[StdReport]
|
|
[[RSYNC]]
|
|
skin = Rsync
|
|
server = wx.example.com
|
|
path = /var/www/html/weewx
|
|
user = wxuser
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following configuration would use FTP to copy the html and image files:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[StdReport]
|
|
[[FTP]]
|
|
skin = Ftp
|
|
server = wx.example.com
|
|
path = /weewx
|
|
user = wxuser
|
|
password = wxpass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It is possible to rsync or FTP more than one directory to the remote server. For example, suppose you have a home webcam that puts its images in `/home/webcam/www`. You want to FTP not only the files generated by WeeWX, but also these webcam images, to a remote server. The webcam images should go in a subdirectory webcam of the weewx directory. The solution is to include more than one FTP section under `[[StdReport]]`:
|
|
|
|
``` ini
|
|
[StdReport]
|
|
|
|
# Location of the generated reports, relative to WEEWX_ROOT
|
|
HTML_ROOT = public_html
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
# As before:
|
|
[[FTP]]
|
|
skin = Ftp
|
|
server = wx.example.com
|
|
path = /weewx
|
|
user = wxuser
|
|
password = wxpass
|
|
|
|
# Add a second FTP. You can name it anything.
|
|
[[webcam_FTP]]
|
|
skin = Ftp
|
|
# Override HTML_ROOT:
|
|
HTML_ROOT=/home/webcam/www
|
|
server = wx.example.com
|
|
path = /weewx/webcam
|
|
user = wxuser
|
|
password = wxpass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the documentation for the [`[[FTP]]`] [ftp] and [`[[RSYNC]]`] [rsync] sections of the configuration file `weewx.conf` for details and options.
