Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, octoprint.log, serial.log or output on terminal tab, ...)

The approach I usually take is:

Install the OctoPi image directly to the Raspberry and get the wi-fi configured
Install the Adafruit TFT script and configure it for your screen.
Verify that the touchscreen has the proper orientation and adjust if necessary.

All that said, OctoPrint normally doesn't include anything which talks to a TFT and allows this to work. Check out my review of the TouchUI plugin which somewhat allows this to work.
