Can I use OctoPi locally?
I am trying to use my M3D printer that doesn't work with my Linux computer. I have been told that OctoPi would make it work.
My current setup is:
- Raspberry 2 without WiFi, with OctoPi running
- Keyboard and touchscreen connected to the Raspberry
- A
.objfile located in/home/pi/on the Raspberry
I don't know anything about OctoPi, but it seems to be created to use as a print server connected by WiFi.
My question is: how can I use it locally, directly on my Raspberry?
NOTE: I can only use my Raspberry in command line for the moment, but if required I can install lightdm to display stuff.
To use it locally you need to be able to view the desktop.
sudo raspi-configto pull up the config menu and enable boot to desktop.
If there is no browser installed already you'll need to install one.sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install epiphany-browserOpen the browser and navigate to http://localhost/
I recommend configuring access control when it prompts you. After you configure it, click login in the top right and login to use octopi.
ALTERNATIVE
octocmd is a command line interface for octoprint. If you would rather not boot into the desktop then this is the way to go.Thanks for the answer and the alternative. That's exactly what I was looking for.

If you install a web browser on the raspberry pi, you can access octoprint from there (by going to localhost). Is this what you're after?
