If you’d like to run consolewd on a Pi these instructions should still work - HOWTO: ConsoleWD for Raspberry PI - Setup Instructions - New version
You’ll probably want to run it in the background too. There are a few ways of doing this. I think the best way is this one Running consolewd in the Background Using serviced
The instructions don’t include setting up the MySQL connection though and I’ve never used consolewd with a database so I’ve no experience of setting it up. I think you’ll need to do this:
- Get consolewd working first so that it’s downloading data from your station reliably
- Install MySQL (MariaDB would be better) if it’s not already installed
- Create a database user for consolewd to use.
- Manually create the database for WD to use
- Edit the config.txt to add the database details (hostname, user, password, database name). I think you’ll also need to turn on the MySQL option
- I think - run ./croncreatetable to create the data table with the required fields
- Run consolewd
