The first public release of LocalSky: self-hosted hyperlocal weather and smart irrigation on your own hardware. No cloud, no subscription, no account.

Run it

docker run -d -p 8090:8090 -e LOCALSKY_DEMO=1 ghcr.io/silenthooligan/localsky:latest

Multi-arch image (amd64 + arm64). Drop LOCALSKY_DEMO and mount a volume for a real install; the wizard at /setup does the rest. Quick start: https://localsky.io/docs/getting-started

Highlights

  • Weather: local-first station ingest (Tempest UDP, Ecowitt gateway polling, Davis WLL, Ambient, MQTT, webhooks), multi-model forecast merge with learned bias correction (Open-Meteo worldwide, NWS in the US, MET Norway, OpenWeather, Pirate Weather), radar (RainViewer worldwide, NEXRAD in the US), lightning.
  • Irrigation: FAO-56 Penman-Monteith ET engine, per-zone soil water buckets, 13-species grass catalog (hemisphere-aware), 7 soil textures, a 17-rule transparent skip ladder, sunrise-anchored scheduling, and direct controller drive (OpenSprinkler, Rachio, Rain Bird, Hydrawise, B-hyve, MQTT).
  • Home Assistant, optional: pair through the LocalSky integration; every reading, zone valve, forecast, and run/stop/pause service as native entities. Watering survives HA outages.
  • Operations: built-in auth (argon2id + API tokens), config snapshots and rollback, backup/restore bundles, honest health reporting, full docs at https://localsky.io/docs
