I'have ubuntu 19.10 server running with xubuntu desktop on my pi4, and
my plan was to run the 2 said programs, cctv and weather, on my pi4
using the ubuntu OS.

Also the weather program I run on my ubuntu machine, I was also planning
on copying the data files from there to my pi4/ubuntu server.

I'm not sure that is possible now??
