# OctoPrint-Klipper
My version of a Docker image for running [OctoPrint] and [Klipper] in a single container. Includes a few plugins I find useful.
Big thanks to [sillyfrog](https://github.com/sillyfrog) for laying the groundwork for this image.
This is very much written for my purposes, so you'll likely need to modify it for your setup. I've been using it for a while now and it's going well. I've successfully run it on these platforms:
* Orange Pi Zero 512MB
* AtomicPi
* Raspberry Pi 4B 1GB (current)
## Running the container
Create a directory on your host that will persist config files. I use `/home/docker/octoprint-klipper`.
Pull the image. Until I figure out multi platform aware images, you need to specify your arch. Both `arm` and `amd64` images are on DockerHub. If using Raspberry Pi or similar use `arm` in place of `[tag]`.
```shell
docker pull seanauff/octoprint-klipper:[tag]
```
Start the container once to populate your config folder:
```
docker run -d --name octoprint-klipper -e TZ=America/New_York -v /home/docker/octoprint-klipper:/home/octoprint/.octoprint --device /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0 -p 5000:5000 seanauff/octoprint-klipper:[tag]
```
Stop the container, and modify your [Klipper] `printer.cfg` and [Octoprint] `config.yaml` in the config directory as needed.
Restart the container.
A sample docker-compose file is also provided.
If you have any questions, feel free to log an issue on this project, and I'll see if I can help.
## Updates
The easiest way to update is to pull the latest image and recreate the container. You could also build the image yourself to get the latest updates. I have had success in using the Octoprint built in updater to upgrade plugins, as well as install new ones. Any upgrades conducted in this manner will be lost upon recreation of the container.
## Build the image yourself
Clone the repository and build the image:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/seanauff/OctoPrint-Klipper.git
docker build -t seanauff/octoprint-klipper OctoPrint-Klipper
```
If you already have an image built and are trying to upgrade, you may need to force the build not to use cache:
```shell
docker build -t seanauff/octoprint-klipper --no-cache -pull OctoPrint-Klipper
```
