Another workaround I use is to install one of the variant versions and use it to upload to a second Nightscout site I have. Keep in mind I only use Nightscout for historical data as I'm type2 and pretty well controlled. No pump or loop |

You have a choice to upload to multiple Nightscout sites by separating the URLs with space.
If you do that, xDrip uploads the same readings to all sites.
However, xDrip maintains only one queue regardless of how many sites you enter. As a result, if one site fails to upload, the queue will be cleared after upload to the other site succeeds. Therefore, the data that failed to upload to one site will never upload to it.
By the end of the year, none of your Nightscout sites may contain all your readings.
To avoid this possibility, the only option is to avoid uploading to multiple sites using one xDrip uploader.
I have a PR that creates a notification when there is such a failed upload: #3875
Until that is approved, my advice is to avoid uploading to multiple sites. Of course if you don't care if not every reading is uploaded, you don't have to worry.
