Specific port for Octolapse

[h00etn]

I have two printers. Each of the printers are connected to it's own Pi with Octoprint. Connected to each pi is also a webcam. Both PI's have designed static IP addresses. (172.16.0.150 and 172.16.0.160).

I'm using Octolapse and MJPG-streamer. Within my LAN I can reach the cams by IP address:8080 they both work.

My router can't have to devices connected to the same port (8080). It doesn't allow to have two instances with the same port.

So I want to set the second stream to for example port 8081. But I can't get it to work.

I'm guessing that I have to specify somewhere (else than inside Octoprint/Octolapse) that I want it to stream - not on the standard 8080, but to another port.

But where?

This sounds like you are planning on exposing your OctoPrint instances on the public internet. Note that this is strongly discouraged and there are much safer ways to achieve connectivity from outside of your LAN.

A Guide To Safe Remote Access of OctoPrint

I want to access my OctoPrint installation from the internet, how do I do that?

First of all: Don't even think about doing that without enabling Access Control! I can't stress enough how important it is to secure your printer when you want to make it accessible from the internet (or any public/untrusted network for that matter). So please, before doing that, make sure you have Access Control configured and functioning. If the only reason for wishing to put OctoPrint on the internet is that you just want to be able to access it remotely yourself, consider rather using a clo…

I need to change the port OctoPrint is listening on on OctoPi because I want to do a port forward and that port is already used in my router!

A proper router should actually allow you to create a port forward that forwards to your internal host "hostA" and port "x" from external port "y": route:y->hostA:x. So something like router:9080->octoprint:80 should be possible. Same goes for a scenario where you do something like router:9080->octopi1:80, router:9081->octopi2:80, etc. These are standard network administration tasks your router should allow you to do. If it doesn't, it doesn't justify being called a router and you should compla…
