Hello, I just received my RPi 5 in the mail. I did not realize that octoprint would be such a pain to use on this Pi. I've tried a few things and i'm not having any luck. I need a step by step guide to get this to work if anyone could help me out or walk me through the process.
two options.
- Use Pi Imager to install pi os lite, then follow the steps here: GitHub - paukstelis/octoprint_deploy: Bash script for rapid deployment of multiple octoprint instance on a single machine, the General Linux setup instructions.
- Download and flash a nightly build of OctoPi that is compatible with pi 5: https://unofficialpi.org/Distros/OctoPi/nightly/2024-09-06_2024-07-04-octopi-bookworm-armhf-lite-1.1.0.zip. With this option you'll more than likely need to make sure to keep the default username pi in pi imager.
I guess it’s too complicated for me to figure out. I literally have no idea what I’m doing
So the octoprint_deploy method is basically the same process as described here: https://youtu.be/xAaAy7UPtF8?t=1029&si=FPgaQx_I7SmFdM6p and maybe this will help with pi os install side: https://youtu.be/UtLyX72-688?si=GdzgAAiXeATyLrRZ in case your more of a visual learner.
