How to finish octoprint installation on Orange PI or whatever PI

Follow this guide for details

Permissions / services configuration

Create 2 files inside /etc/sudoers.d, so it would be possible to restart / shutdown as octopi user without root permissions.

• octoprint-restart-service

  octoprint ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service octoprint restart
  

• octoprint-shutdown

  octoprint ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
  

UI config would look like this:

• Restart OctoPrint -> sudo /usr/sbin/service octoprint restart
• Restart system -> sudo shutdown -r now
• Shutdown system -> sudo shutdown -h now

Camera configuration

• Create 2 scripts - one service, one script
• Update config.yaml - include camera actions: ```bash system: actions:
  • action: streamon command: /home/octoprint/scripts/webcam.sh start confirm: false name: Start video stream
  • action: streamoff command: /home/octoprint/scripts/webcam.sh stop confirm: false name: Stop video stream ```
• Add permissions to view video

  mcedit /etc/group
  video:x:44:user1,octoprint
  

• Configure UI Not here - that you need to put URL’s with actual host IP / name, not localhost or 127.0.0.1!
