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.

This repository contains the source script to generate the distribution out of an existing Raspbian distro image.

Official mirror is here

There is also a torrent for 0.9.0 here

1. unzip the image and dd it to an sd card like any other Raspberry Pi image
2. boot the pi and connect it to a lan or wifi network, like any other Rasbpian installation.
3. 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.
4. 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.

1. qemu-arm-static
2. Downloaded Raspbian image.
3. root privileges for chroot
4. Bash
5. realpath

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 bash -x ./build

1. 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.
2. Run src/build as root.
3. The final image will be created at the src/workspace

Code contribution would be appreciated!
