Raspbian Buster

Hello , been scouring the forum here and elsewhere to find out if Octoprint is safe on Raspbian Buster ?? Is it just a case of dist-upgrade ??

Hi.
Yeah it works on buster but a dist-upgrade fron stretch breakes it.

Either set it up yourself on raspian buster or try the octopi nightly

Thanks , I’ll give the nightly a whirl - personally I don’t think using a RaspberryPi4 will give massive benefits (if any) but keeping on top of Raspbian is a good thing

Well it depends. I use it in desktop mode and it's muuuuch better than every pi before.

Update to Raspberry Pi 4 (from working Pi 3+) [solved]

Hi I got my new Raspi 4 a few days ago and tried to update my 3+ system in order to get it to work on it. So I did a dist-upgrade to buster (besides of rpi-update and updating and resizing the boot partition). Afterwards octoprint didn't start anymore (everything else works as far as I know). The octoprint server was installed with help of this great tutorial. For now I'm back on my 3+ and a backup of the old sd card. Octoprint latest, octoprint.log doesn't show anything after t…

If you upgraded to Buster from Strech, you just need to execute a few commands to get the OctoPrint server working again. From a terminal window on the Pi with OctoPrint installed type these commands:

cd OctoPrint
source venv/bin/activate
pip install pip --upgrade
pip install https://get.octoprint.org/latest
sudo service octoprint restart

OctoPrint will now respond properly. If you still have an issue, you may have overwritten your haproxy.cfg file during the upgrade.
