Having ordered my first 3D printer, I am giddy and preparing various things.
I have installed Octoprint on my home server as a Docker container, but when running it, it seems that it wants to have a serial connection to a printer. Octoprint expects to be running on a Raspberry that is connected via its serial interface.
What am I missing?
The printer I ordered (Prusa Mini) comes with a wifi dongle, so I guess there will be a way to reach it over the network. But that does not automagically mean Octoprint can work with it.
I’m getting mixed signals, (home server/seems like basics question). You just need to establish a TTY serial connection between the host and board. Linux is Linux regardless of the physical hardware.
