Moving octoprint from Pi 0 2w to Pi 4/5

What is the problem?

The Pi 0 2 W overheats and struggles a bit when processing webcam timelapses and I'd like to move my current plugins files and octoprint settings to new hardware

My assumption is that I can take a backup of the Octoprint via the GUI, setup a new pi using the correct image for the hardware, and once online I can then restore the backup but wasn't entirely sure if that would work or not. Would love to know if anyone has tried this.

You can download this in OctoPrint's System Information dialog ... no bundle, no support!)

Hello @Bobby_McGonigle !

You may have a look on this:


BTW:

going from Pi 0 2 W to pi 4 would work by just putting the SD card into the Pi 4. For a pi 5 you'd have to install debian lite from pi imager, use the octoprint_deploy script to install OctoPrint and then restore a backup from the zero on initial setup wizard.

A Raspberry Pi 4 has plenty of horsepower for OctoPi / OctoPrint. A RPi 5 is overkill, IMO.
