octoprint_install

These files provide a simple script that will install OctoPrint and a video streamer (mjpg-streamer or ustreamer) on virtually any linux based system. The system must use systemd.

How to use

• All commands assume you are operating out of your home directory using a terminal directly on the machine or by ssh.
• Install Ubuntu 20+, Mint 20.3+, Debian, DietPi, RPiOS, Armbian, Fedora35+, or ArchLinux on your system (make sure your user is admin for sudo).
• WARNING: SELinux (Fedora) adds significant complications. Either don't use Fedora or disable SELinux
• Install git if it isn't already: sudo apt install git or sudo dnf install git or sudo pacman -S git.
• run the command git clone https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_install.git.
• run the command sudo octoprint_install/octoprint_install.sh.
• Choose Install OctoPrint
• You will asked if you want to install haproxy and if you want to establish the admin user and do the first run settings with the command-line.
• You will be asked if you want to install recommended plugins.
• You can now connect to your OctoPrint instance (http://ipaddress:5000, http://hostname.local:5000, or if you used haproxy, no need to include port 5000)
• OctoPrint will always be started at boot.
• You can add a USB webcam by choosing the selection in the menu. Your camera service will be setup in /etc/systemd/system/cam_octoprint.service, and will be started upon boot
• There is now support of multiple cameras! Run through the camera install script a second time and it will prompt you to include a number designation for the next camera.
• To use a Raspberry Pi camera, run the script with the picam commandline option (sudo octoprint_install/octoprint_install.sh picam)

Other

• Remove everything and start over: sudo octoprint_install/octoprint_install.sh remove

What's New (0.2.0)

• Multi-camera support
