i think you want to remove your web key from the code.,..

Being fairly new to Linux I can't make sense of the installation instructions. If possible could you add some more detail to the instructions for those of us who aren't native in Linux? I'm looking to supplement my smarthome logging (setup following this blog) with local weather using weather2influxdb

Look into adding support for optional flags to either/or:

• support retention policies
• overwrite data on a single time series

As discussed in #4

First of all thanks a lot of this code. I have been using this on a Raspberry Pi with Influxdb and Grafana and it has been working really well (I copied your graphs, really liked the way you presented the data). I'm in the process of moving the setup to a home-built NAS running OpenMediaVault and putting InfluxDB and Grafana into Docker containers so I want to make sure I do this properly for the long run.

On the RPi I have been running ForecastMetrics as a cron job every hour. It was just something I figured would work. But now that I'm reading up on this a little more I'm confused as to how much data will accumulate in InfluxDB since it doesn't look like old data is being overwritten and there is no retention policy (I'm using 1 year in InfluxDB). Originally when I was setting this up it didn't look like unnecessary data was being accumulated but now I'm not sure. What is your suggestion on how to populate an InfluxDB database?
If the answer is just a cron job I may see if it makes sense to put it inside a container (not sure why, just to see if I can do it as I'm learning to use containers). Any obvious issues with that?

Thanks

The Grafana sources are connected and tested ok
But when I run the binary I get

Could you point me in the right direction please
