Mac Mini 2.1 A1176 Core2Duo is not booting Installer Stick

[Don_Canallie]

Hello,

I need help. I've been trying to install Octoprint on my Mac for days. My favorite way would be via Proxmox, but I can't manage that either. The problem is that the Mac has a 64bit processor but a 32bit EFI. So far it hasn't shown anything in the boot menu except for Debian 12 Boot Stick. Proxmox Installer is not displayed, neither is Octoprint, nor is Octoprint Nightlies 32 bit. I don't know what else I can do to get Octoprint on the Mac.

Octoprint Nightlies 32 bit

Are you sure you're talking about OctoPrint and not the OctoPi image?
OctoPi is an image specifically for the Raspberry Pi.

I can't help you with the Proxmox vm, but there are several other ways to run it - docker for example.

@Don_Canallie

except for Debian 12 Boot Stick.

That's another way. Install debian and then run this installer GitHub - paukstelis/octoprint_deploy: Bash script for rapid deployment of multiple octoprint instance on a single machine

If you really want to install it on MacOS, then the guide for this is below:

Setting up OctoPrint on MacOS

Preparation Must be performed with a user with Administrative privileges. Requires the latest version of Xcode suitable for your OS X. For example, OS X 10.15.x (Catalina) requires Xcode 11.x. Specifically, this is to ensure that locally compiled components of Python libraries (such as pyobjc) can be installed successfully. Check your current (active) Command Line Tools (CLT) version Open up the macOS Terminal and check if and which version of the CLT you have with /Applications/Xcod…

But I would second the recommendation to install Debian or some other Linux OS on the laptop, and then install OctoPrint after that is sorted. Mac is the least used OS for OctoPrint by a long way, so help & support can be difficult to come by if you experience issues.

Hey, yes i still tried 5 website ways but nothing works.

Thanks for the github link it works till the the step of adding the printer via USB. Hes pluged in but the Mac not detecting him. I tried with USB Power Blocker (before alll my f** Pis was written of by usb power) than without and than all 4 ports. USB Port Testing in the script said nothing. Even i testest all 4 Ports.

I format the hdd with osx extended than make a partition and the installer is only seeing the stick.
