Orca/Prusa/Super-slicer noVNC Docker Containers

This is a fork of Prusaslicer noVNC

Overview

This is a super basic noVNC build using supervisor to serve Orca/Prusa/Super slicer in your favorite web browser.

A lot of this was branched off of helfrichmichael's awesome prusaslicer-novnc-docker project, but I use my mobile device a decent amount of the time so I needed updates to noVNC and a couple other tweaks.

How to use

To run this image, you can run the following command:

SLICER="orcaslicer"
docker run --detach --volume=${SLICER}-novnc-data:/configs/ --volume=${SLICER}-novnc-prints:/prints/ -p 8079:8080 --name=${SLICER}-novnc slicer-novnc:${SLICER}

where SLICER is either prusaslicer, orcaslicer, or superslicer

This will bind /configs/ in the container to a local volume on my machine named orcaslicer-novnc-data. Additionally it will bind /prints/ in the container to orcaslicer-novnc-prints locally on my machine, and it will bind port 8079 to 8080.

If you need to change the certificate store you can add -e SSL_CERT_FILE="/etc/ssl/certs/new-store.crt" to the docker run command.

Version

Every update pushes a total of four tags for each slicer to docker hub.

• slicer name with no added dashes
  • This tag will include all releases that are marked as official release from the superslicer github.
• ...-prerelease
  • This is all releases even those marked as pre-release. It may often be the same as latest.
• ...-x.x (version)
  • The latest release including pre-releases that have the bug fix number removed.
• ...-x.x.x.x (version)
  • Any version that is marked as official (non pre-release) with x.x.x.x being their tag
• ...-prerelease-x.x.x.x
  • Any release including pre-releases with x.x.x.x being their tag.

Mobile Friendly Efforts

The original version doesn't support mobile phones, but that is important for me.

Changes that improve mobile support are:

• Update novnc to add touch gestures to simulate mouse actions

  • Short tap and drag: left mouse click and drag
  • Drag two fingers: send mouse scroll
  • Tap with two fingers: send right click
  • Pinch with two fingers: send Ctrl + scroll
  • Long press then drag: send right mouse click and drag

• Patches to novnc:

  • When in window drag mode a two finger drag will act like a single finger drag.
  • Minimum width and height easy-novnc options. By default min-width is set to 1000 because slicers do not work on phone screens.
  • Automatically enabled drag mode if the minimum is larger than the current screen.
  • Moved the control-bar on phones to top/bottom instead of sides.
