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
