OctoPrint<\/strong> is most commonly used in a Raspbery Pi using an specific-purpose OS called OctoPi<\/strong> (nothing more than a Raspbian with OctoPrint installed out-of-the-box) [Link<\/a>].<\/p>\n

Although it can run on any Linux distribution, running on a RPi is much more convenient because it is compact, low-power consumption, and there are camera modules like this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To deploy OctoPi in a Reaspberry Pi using official Imager go to Choose OS > Other Specific-Purpose OS > 3D Printing ><\/strong> then, select OctoPi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To install on a Linux host:<\/p>\n

sudo apt install git -y\r\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/paukstelis\/octoprint_deploy.git\r\nsudo octoprint_deploy\/octoprint_deploy.sh<\/pre>\n
To install as a Docker container:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install git docker.io docker-compose -y \r\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/OctoPrint\/octoprint-docker.git\r\ncd octoprint-docker\r\ndocker-compose up -d<\/pre>\n
Then, navigate to http:\/\/127.0.0.1:5000\/<\/strong> or http:\/\/127.0.0.1\/<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Note:<\/strong> change the loopback IP address accordingly. Port 5000<\/strong> is to access it directly or default port if using a reverse proxy. Check the official documentation to see how to allow the Docker container to get access to the webcam or the USB-Serial port.<\/p>\n

BASIC UNDERSTANDING<\/strong><\/p>\n
OctoPrint is more than just an application but it is a framework where developers can build their Plugins<\/strong> (extension like applications) on top.<\/p>\n
Most popular Plugins:<\/p>\n
