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:
UNPLUG PRINTER FROM USB Enter the name for new printer/instance: printer01
Port on which this instance will run (ENTER will increment last value in /etc/octoprint_ports):
Selected port is: 5000

This will do the following:
- Copy everything in ~/.octoprint to ~/.printer01 with modifications
- Update udev rules so this printer will always be at port /dev/octo_printer01
- Create, start, and enable the service printer01 to control that octoprint instance.
