Open source, self hosted weather stations? - Divisions by zero

Does anyone know of a FOSS weather station? I have a Linux based home computer lab and I want to be able to track atmospheric pressure, temperature, and wind specifically. It would be nice to be able to detect rain as well if possible. So I need both a server to have on linux, PLUS the weather station. Does anyone have any recommendations? I strongly prefer large amounts of open documentation as well. Thank you!

@pinballwizard Just a suggestion, that may not suit your needs, is that one option would be using a proprietary weather station (good open source hardware options are limited, especially for wind and rain etc), that has a local API that may provide a local REST (http) endpoint or may publish #mqtt messages. Then you could grab that data locally with no cloud. You could also block any cloud connection it may have via firewall rules so no firmware update push can brick it. I’m a bit rusty on the current state of weather stations but there are options for this approach.
