OctoPi is a Raspberry Pi distribution (OS image) that ships with OctoPrint and mjpg-streamer preinstalled for controlling 3D printers over the web. This repository contains the build scripts that generate the distribution image from a base Raspberry Pi OS image.
Use cases
- set up a Raspberry Pi to control a 3D printer over the web
- build a custom OctoPrint OS image for Raspberry Pi or Le Potato
- monitor 3D prints remotely with a webcam and timelapse
- flash a ready-made 3D printer server image to an SD card
- run a headless print server accessible via SSH and browser
When to choose
- you want a turnkey Raspberry Pi image for OctoPrint without manual setup
- you need webcam streaming and timelapse support out of the box
- you want to customize or rebuild the OctoPi image yourself
When to avoid
- you only want the OctoPrint software and prefer installing it on an existing OS via pip
- you need a print server for non-Raspberry-Pi hardware other than supported SBCs
- you want a general-purpose desktop Linux distribution
