Unable to display OctoPrint inside Home Assistant iframe

It will get logged by OctoPrint, all web requests do. That way you can see if it is an issue with the client or server. Opening the browser error console will also help, something may be logged there.

The logs seem to think everything is ok:

How do I turn off the login/authentication so I can try that? Can't seem to find it in the settings

So I added this to the config.yaml:

accessControl:
    enabled: true
    autologinLocal: true
    autologinAs: admin
    localNetworks:
    - 192.168.0.0/24

And when I hit the server in a chrome page it goes straight in without asking for username/password however when trying to access it from the home assistant iframe I get this:

The chrome debug says this:

And the octoprint log:

2020-10-27 18:23:30,814 - octoprint.server.util.flask - INFO - Passively logging in user admin from ::ffff:192.168.0.68
2020-10-27 18:23:30,815 - octoprint.access.users - INFO - Logged in user: admin
2020-10-27 18:23:31,788 - octoprint.server.util.sockjs - INFO - User admin logged in on the socket from client ::ffff:192.168.0.68

Any ideas?

well, been down this rabbit hole also...

Tried iframe and Nginx reverse proxies but all without success.

Anyone made some progress?

With the iframe you have to enable the option in OctoPrint to allow it.

thanks, but after this you are stuck in the login-screen-loop.

My HA is ssl, and the iframe was also integrated as ssl.

I guess, all non-ssl could be working. But with ssl enabled the cookies won't get accepted, even when adjusting the config.yaml with samesite: none and cookies.secure: true.

Or am i missing something here?

Take a look at this ticket, and see if you can make sense of it:

The comments below sound relevant to you, my link was a direct one.

Sounds to me like the browser can't validate the SSL, so it refuses to send anything useful to the server.

someone on Discord also seemed to indicate that 99% of these issues are related to SSL and if you look in your browser's developer console it may shed some light into the problem.

Using http only so not sure how SSL comes into play but yeah still not working to this day for me.

Well, a few cups of coffee later:

I created some Home Assistant addon that worked way better than all those iframe stuff. 10MegaBytes of RAM I waste happily!

It is based on some haproxy and by using some rewrite magic it was done.

Have a try, and please provide feedback: https://github.com/MaxWinterstein/homeassistant-addons/

This may even be unnecessary in the future as I think Frenck from the HA team is working on a bundled OctoPrint install with HA directly as well.

Just tried and it works as expected (except the camera as mentioned)
Also I updated an add-on in octoprint which caused it to restart but it didn't auto refresh - no biggie just refresh HA page but feedback is feedback :slight_smile:

thx :slight_smile: will have a look at the webcam and the refresh stuff, might be just some small adjustments :v:

Any luck with webcam feed?
Also tried it with Nabu casa and it just displays the login screen but won't log in (could be something on my side, looking into it)

sadly not. All those path rewritings are really weird.

Have tried some but none did really work well. Might try the nginx way in the next version, but sadly this project ist not on my important things list, so this could take some time. Sorry.

Not a problem, it's just a nice to have.
Other methods can be used in the meantime.

I have tried your solution, but still getting the log in loop. Any suggestions what i might be doing wrong? Thanks

hello, have you now found a solution to the problem. I'm currently facing the same problem in the iframe in iobroker vis.
Thank you for your help

same here, something funky going on, bump

I think i found a solution? I have been having the same loop of the login screen.

In the ~/.octoprint/config.yaml file, I added/modified the server: configuration per here. I added the value for samesite: none to the config, but newer installs might have it set to lax?

server:
  cookie:
    samesite: none

This fixed the looping issue and I can view the octopi install from an iframe now (specifically Home Assistant)
