Setting up OctoPrint on MacOS

Watchur · February 7, 2022, 8:34pm

Very new to all of this so my apologies.
I am trying to install OctoPrint on macOS Monterey

I followed the instructions and everything seems fine until I actually try to launch Octoprint. I get error:

I am at a loss of what to do next. Any help would be appreciated.

I have been searching for hours and I literally just found the answer 5 minutes after posting. The solution if you are running Monterey is to turn off AirPlay as it listens on ports 5000 and 7000.

Charlie_Powell · February 7, 2022, 9:14pm

You can also specify the --port flag, such as --port 5001 on the octoprint serve command line if you want to run both at the same time.

errandwolfe · February 25, 2022, 7:57pm

Do you know how I would do this if I want to load OctoPrint on start? How would I modify the plist file detailed at the start of this thread?

Caleb_S · March 11, 2022, 12:58am

Hello, I just set up OctoPrint up on mymac after some struggle on updating python ect I got it to work, But now I cant seem to get my webcam to work any help here?

draganfill · December 17, 2022, 9:27am

After initial installation I had error when starting server

error: [Errno 48] Address already in use

Fixed by changing port

octoprint config set server.port 5006 --int

Hmm, can't seem to install octoprint from pip3
Inside the virtualenv, I can successfully install pyobjc
Howeveer when I run:
pip3 install OctoPrint

I am on a mac mini, os 13.1
EDIT: It seems to work if I am not in a virtualenv. I am not sure why, but it seems the virtualenv is using Python 3.9 instead of 3.10...?

Charlie_Powell · December 27, 2022, 4:56pm

That might be because virtualenv just uses the 'default' Python installation on your system - I don't have a Mac to know exactly how it works, but on every other system you have to specify if you want a different version using --python=/path/to/python. None of the core contributors have a Mac as far as I know but I suspect this guide could probably be modernized. In other OS guides, they use venv instead of virtualenv, as it's built in to Python 3 & doesn't have the strange behaviour I mentioned above.

Perhaps if there is anyone out there who would like to improve the guide, it is free to edit for users at TL1 or higher.

jdobbs · July 24, 2023, 4:56pm

Anyone have the correct reboot command to get the octoprint server to reboot?

wFirbolg · March 13, 2024, 10:42pm

Good evening, everyone!

I'm struggling quite a bit with this issue and a friend recommended I post it here.

I followed the guide until the part where I'm supposed to install Octoprint perse.

OctoPrint is only compatible with Python 3.12 (what you are using here) starting with version 1.10.0.

Either downgrade your Python or explicitly install the current release candidate for 1.10.0:

pip install OctoPrint==1.10.0rc4

Thanks for the save! My printer is back online and working nicely on my new (old) Mac mini server.

I'm running into a similar error as above. The "pip install OctoPrint" command runs fine until:

Collecting netifaces2<0.1,>=0.0.21 (from OctoPrint==1.10.0rc4)

I installed Cargo via the instructions at that website, and got an identical error.

Versions etc.:

Virtualenv: 20.26.1

Any suggestions? I'm about ready to chuck my printer out the window. It was a gift from a friend who knows I'm into 3d printing and it's hard to justify spending this much time on it when I can go into the work lab and print whatever I want.

Hey people,

gpt-4o developed a solution to making the restart button work on MacOS, and also allowing for autostart on boot. You can find it on this Gist here.

Have you actually personally verified these steps and that this works? Blindly trusting steps generated by a possibly hallucinating AI ain't a good idea.

I went through multiple iterations and testing of methods it came up with, and this one works, I have tested it.

I am praying someone can help.
Been running Octoprint fo on my mac mini for a a few years. bullet proof.
rebooted and now cannot connect to it from another machine.

RUn Octoprint serve from command,
Read in the long list
{'base_url': 'http://0.0.0.0:5000/

I can access it via 0.0.0.0:5000 on the host mac, but other machines zip. get unable to connect.
Checked firewall, it allows terminal, python and octoprint.

Do i need to setup HAProxy? - I didnt think i did that in the past but its been a long time.
Manybe macos update wiped it out or something

From inside the LAN?

Maybe the router has assigned a different IP?

Unlikely.
