Octodash on seperate rPi?

Can I install Octodash on second Raspberry Pi, or does it need to be on the same rPi as Octoprint?

Yes, you can install it anywhere you like. May have to adjust the config to point it to the right Pi, but otherwise there shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah, I've been working on OctoDash feature implementation and was able to connect remotely to my pi. You just have to manually enter, or select the device from the list (not sure if this feature is available with the current stable release as I'm working with current development stuff) during initial setup wizard.

Thanks a lot guys!

Did you have any Luck with that, and how did you do it?

It's written in the solution post:

Okay got it, just reading the text right that the script outputs, something with can't fid VENV

But how I have a raspberry pi 4 runing octoprint and another RPI5 that I wanna run octodash so it can control the octopi

How do I do that I saw so many vidos and didn't have what I want

like do I have to also instal octopi as well on the RPI5 (wich I can't on this one) or install RPI image 64 LIte?

I just wanna use my RP5 has a remote control to my RP4 with octoprint

An rpi5 as remote control for OctoPrint in it's own is a waste of resources. I assume since you can't install OctoPi image it's running something else in the pi 5 already. You just install OctoDash following the setup guide and during initial setup of OctoDash you choose the manual option and enter in your other Pi's connection information/URL.
