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:

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...?
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.

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

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 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.
Yes from inside the LAN, i.e. another machine. - IP still the same checked with ipconfig getifaddr en0
the machine is running MACOS 12 (as its a late 2014 model) - when I reinstall brew it told me that 12 is no longer supported too.
Also I couldnt get sudo homebrew services start haproxy to work it just says command not found
I used sudo brew services start haproxy which seemed to work but still not fixed anything
I have ordered a PI 4b to move to as there seems to be more guides etc
i heve the same error code but i am using 3.13
Python 3.13 was released on October 7th, that was a week ago. It is not yet supported by the current stable version of OctoPrint (1.10.2) as released on June 18th. You may always consult the README, which will tell you what versions are supported. At the time of writing it states:
OctoPrint currently supports Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12.
In general, if OctoPrint tells you it doesn't support your python version, that's not a bug, that's due to your Python version being too old (upgrade) or due to it being too new (wait and/or use the one before). With the available development resources (one full time dev, me, hi) it doesn't make sense to try to hit a moving target, so testing and necessary changes only happen once a stable release of a new Python version is out. It's tricky enough to support a large range as the above as is.
I can connect to octoprint on my mac (imac sequoia) if the mac firewall is disabled. but not when it is on. python is already listed in the firewall allow rules but it is not the one that is run by octoprint. I added the right version of python (the one linked from the octoprint bin file) but it did not help.
Any ideas how to open the firewall just enough for octoprint on the local network?
ps. to add the right version of python I needed to use the command line way, since you can't access /usr/ files from the settings GUI: /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /usr/local/opt/python@3.13/bin/python3.13
