After the installation of OctoPrint and CuraEngine in the previous article
OctoPrint Package Installation
we treat now the configuration of the 3d print server.
As first operation, we set up the automatic startup of OctoPrint.
Run the following commands

Edit the /etc/ defaults/octoprint file changing the pointing to the executable to start OctoPrint using vi

Add the script to startup automatically OctoPrint
|
1 |
sudo update-rc.d octoprint defaults |
Start OctoPrint with the command
|
1 |
sudo systemctl start octoprint |
Check that OctoPrint is active on port 5000 of the Orange PI PC by accessing the address
|
1 |
http://IPORANGEPIPC:5000 |
Rebooting the Orange PI PC, the OctoPrint server now starts automatically.
In the next article, Linux will be configured to connect to OctoPrint on the Http standard port, i.e. on port 80
