Can I set up 2nd octoprint on a second Pi under same network?

What is the problem?
Just an inquiry can I set up 2nd octoprint on a second Pi under same network?

What did you already try to solve it?
I googled for my answer it seems there are resources to teach me how to set up multiple instances of octoprint using one pi. I want to run a second printer in my basement, and I have second raspberry pi.
Just wondering if this is possible? Is this possible? what is the catch?

ok i had my second pi hooked and octiprint configure.

It seems like with a second IP i can toggle between different IP and have two pi pritning at the same time.

great.

No problem doing what you propose. You have identified the Key- two different IP's. I have this setup.

Off topic: It is also possible, but a lot of work, to setup two instances of Octopi on one raspberrypi to run two printers from one pi. However, I used two pi's so that I have the freedom to move one of them to a different physical location.

I completely agree with you.

I see the value of doing two instances on one pi, there are great tutorial for that. Having the mobility to move the printer around the house is nice :slight_smile: .

Why not change the hostname's for each one?

sudo raspi-config

Didn't know the linux command to do that. I am dangerous now.

It's more of a Raspberry PI OS command :slight_smile:
