See How to Build a Raspberry Pi Temperature Monitor with Initial State.

Improve the README and add more information about the actual assembly/build part.

The README just refers to https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/build-your-own-weather-station as a reference, without further information. The relevant portions of the build should be inlined into the README/repo (preferably with some images).

Maybe it even makes sense to extract the "build" part into a dedicated markdown file. This will keep the README a bit more concise.

High levels goals:

• Better descriptions of the concrete parts used
• Step by step build instructions
• Important steps to watch out for

Right now a custom build is used in order to upgrade Grafana to 3.7.x.

The CI job should use GitHub actions and verify the build of the app/images. It should run the equivalent of:

balena build --deviceType raspberrypi4 --arch aarch64 --emulated

There should be a way to enable authentication for the MQTT server

Add NGINX reverse proxy to expose MQTT client to the outside as well.

This would reduce image build time and size. The math required in the wind vane service can be implemented in another way as well.

Currently, the code depends on a specific SHA with an unclear origin.

  influxdb:
    container_name: influxdb
    image: influxdb@sha256:73f876e0c3bd02900f829d4884f53fdfffd7098dd572406ba549eed955bf821f
    restart: always
    environment:
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_ENABLED=true
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_USER=admin
      - INFLUXDB_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin
    volumes:
      - 'influxdb-data:/data'
    ports:
      - "8086:8086"

Add the ability to add additional Telegraf configurations. This way one can easier new services which need to write data into InfluxDB. See https://www.influxdata.com/blog/telegraf-best-practices/
