octoprint_deploy

These files provide a simple bash script for quickly deploying multiple octoprint instances on a single computer.

BIG CHANGES

As of 02/22 there is no longer a need to download a specific image file. YouTube video for OctoPi setup here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5VzI4AFav4&lc

How to use

• OctoPi
  • Put the latest OctoPi image on your SD card
  • ssh into your Pi (pi@octopi.local; good idea to change your password now!)
  • run the command git clone https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_deploy.git
  • run the command sudo octoprint_deploy/octoprint_deploy.sh
  • Choose Prepare System from the menu
  • Setup admin user by connecting to http://octopi.local via browser
  • Back in the ssh session, choose Add Instance and follow the instructions.
  • If your printer does not have a serial number, it will time out and use the physical USB address for udev entries.
  • Continue until you have added all the printers you want to use
  • haproxy entries are updated so you can connect via http://octopi.local/instancename/ (trailing slash is needed)
• Ubuntu/Mint/Fedora (Fedora not completely tested)
  • Install Ubuntu 18-22.X, Mint 20.3+, Debian, or Fedora35+ on your system (make sure your user is admin for sudo)
  • Install git if it isn't already: sudo apt install git or sudo dnf install git
  • run the command git clone https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_deploy.git
  • run the command sudo octoprint_deploy/octoprint_deploy.sh
  • Choose Prepare System from the menu. Select your distribution type. This will install necessary packages, install octoprint, and start a template instance
  • This converts your installation into an 'OctoBuntu'-style installation. Use OctoBuntu for all identifiers after this point.
  • Setup admin user by connecting to your system (either http://localhost:5000 or http://[hostname]:5000 via browser
  • Continue with octoprint_deploy script and setup all your instances.
• What else can you do?
  • Remove instances
  • Add USB webcams AFTER you've created the instance
  • Test USB connections

Recent Changes

• Add duplicate serial number detection.
• Add architecture check to minimize errors where a system gets prepared as OctoPi when someone is using Ubuntu/Fedora/etc.
