Klipper-Printer-Simulavr-Docker

Run a simulated Klipper 3D-Printer in a Docker container.

Instructions:

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Open a terminal in the cloned folder
  3. Run docker-compose up -d to build the docker image and start the container afterwards in detached mode

Notes:

  • The first start of the container will take a moment since all components have to be downloaded and/or compiled
  • You can access the containers shell with the following command:
    docker exec -it <CONTAINER ID> bash
  • You get the <CONTAINER ID> with the following command:
    docker ps
  • Restart the container with:
    docker container restart <CONTAINER ID>

Klipper, Moonraker and a simulated Atmel ATmega micro-controller now run inside of the Docker container and you can use it for whatever reason you decided to clone this repository 😄.

The container is build in a way, that you are able to quickly "re-install" Klipper and Moonraker or can quickly re-build the python environments or the firmware if that is ever necessary. For that, simply delete the corresponding folder/file and restart the container and the required components will be "installed" again.

Feel free to contribute if you find solutions to make the docker image even smaller (~ 679 MB as of now) or provide ideas to generally improve this project.
