OctoPi

A Raspberry Pi distribution for 3d printers. It includes the OctoPrint host software for 3d printers out of the box and mjpg-streamer with RaspiCam support for live viewing of prints and timelapse video creation. OctoPi also includes OctoPiPanel, which is an LCD display app that works with OctoPrint, and scripts to configure supported display.s This repository contains the source script to generate the distribution out of an existing Raspbian distro image.

Where to get it?

Official mirror is here

Alternative mirror is here

Nightly builds are avilable here

How to use it?

unzip the image and dd it to an sd card like any other Raspberry Pi image
boot the pi and connect it to a lan or wifi network, like any other Rasbpian installation.
OctoPrint is located at http://octopi.local and also at https://octopi.local. Since the SSL certificate is self signed (and generated upon first boot), you will get a certificate warning at the latter location, please ignore it.
If a webcam was plugged in, MJPG-streamer is on port 8080. You can reach it at: http://octopi.local:8080/?action=stream. It is also setup so that you can reach it under http://octopi.local/webcam/?action=stream and SSL respectively.

Developing

Requirements

qemu-arm-static
Downloaded Raspbian image.
root privileges for chroot
Bash
realpath
sudo (the script itself calls it, running as root without sudo won't work)

Build OctoPi From within OctoPi / Raspbian / Debian / Ubuntu

OctoPi can be built from Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian, or even OctoPi. Build requires about 2.5 GB of free space available. You can build it by issuing the following commands:

sudo apt-get install realpath qemu-user-static

git clone https://github.com/guysoft/OctoPi.git
cd OctoPi/src/image
curl -J -O -L  http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_latest
cd ..
sudo modprobe loop
sudo bash -x ./build

Usage

If needed, override existing config settings by creating a new file src/config.local. You can override all settings found in src/config. If you need to override the path to the Raspbian image to use for building OctoPi, override the path to be used in ZIP_IMG. By default the most recent file matching *-raspbian.zip found in src/image will be used.
Run src/build as root.
The final image will be created at the src/workspace

Code contribution would be appreciated!
