Self-hosted weather app?
Self-hosted weather app?
It occurred to me today that I am hosting more and more services locally, but I still rely on a 3rd party weather app on my PC and phone. Generally, they suck as a class of applications - so much surveillance.
I searched around and found a couple Reddit threads from years ago, before Apple killed off the DarkSky API. But I think there are still free APIs, yes?
Are there any good FOSS current weather and forecasting self hosting options now? Thanks!
I'm in the US if that matters.
You're viewing a single thread.
It depends on what country you’re in. If you’re in the US, the National Weather Service provides an excellent no-bullshit “please don’t abuse this” API.

If you just want a site to pull the weather down: https://weather.gov/
I’m really not sure what you’d gain from self-hosting this unless you own your own weather station though since you’d have to reach an authoritative source that provides the forecasts eventually.
I plug NWS into home assistant for a nice weather display in my kitchen.
Same! I think it works very well.
France provides the Open-Meteo API for europe too. I just tap into this source.
It is better than AccuWeather anyway often times. Foe Geometric weather it actually works too. With AccuWeather I wouldn't get any air quality stats.
Is Geometric Weather displaying info on thebdetail cards for your chosen service? I changed it to OoenWeatherMap and still shows me accuweather cards
Yep! You might have to restart your phone the first time? Or force stop the app
