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.
Besides what other people are mentioning it is also excellent to use docker if you want to run multiple instances for multiple printers. I currently run 3 printers on a single mini pc that is also running octofarm for having a single entry point for all my printers
