octoprint_deploy

These files provide a simple bash script for quickly deploying multiple octoprint instances on a single computer (Ubuntu/debian based systems).

How to use

Install Ubuntu on computer of interest. Install Octoprint. You can follow the directions here: https://octoprint.org/download/ or here: https://community.octoprint.org/t/setting-up-octoprint-on-a-raspberry-pi-running-raspbian/2337

Start up Octoprint for the first time to setup a base instance profile. The base profile will be edited in several places to allow specific modifications during deployment.

[PLACE HOLDERS FOR EDITING STUFF] Make sure whichever printer you are installing for is not plugged in via USB

Go to wherever you downloaded octoprint_deploy: cd octoprint_deploy Run the bash script: $ sudo ./addnew_printer.sh And follow the instructions:
