OctoPrint full install script for Raspberry Pi 2/3/4 with camera and Prusa MK series 3D printer

This project is not meant to replace OctoPi, but to give Prusa Users a basic install with profiles already created, most settings already configured, and an easy out-of-box experience. This project does not walk a user through flashing images, or setting up wifi. It assumes the user can image an SD card, add the blank SSH file, add their own wpa_supplicant.conf, and connect to their fresh Raspbian install via SSH. I will only touch on these steps, and place example files in the project.

• OctoPrint (latest release build)
• Fail2Ban (extra security)
• HAProxy (clean URLs without port numbers)
• MJPEG-Streamer (sends images as video)
• Prusa Profiles for MK2, MK3, and MMU (generic defaults)

• Prusa 3D Printer (MK2/3 and MMU)
• Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 with adequate Power Supply
  • Since there is only 1 reliable UART, a Zero can handle print control, or video...but not both reliably.
  • A Zero could be the perfect choice for Print Farm Individual Management without video
• Raspberry Pi Camera Module with ribbon cable
• 8Gb SD Card or larger
• USB Cable include with Prusa Printer
• Case - I recommend: https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/24283

• It is never a good practice to blindly run random scripts from the internet. This is a learning tool and shortcut for Prusa users, not a general OctoPi replacement. Please review the comments and code.

• Download the latest version of Raspbian Lite https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ ( Raspbian Buster Lite 2020-02-13 at time of writing )

• Image your SD card with Raspbian

• Create a blank file and name it SSH on the boot partition

• Add your wpa_supplicant.conf to the boot partition with your country code and wifi settings

• Insert SD Card in the Pi (with camera module)
• Plug your Pi into the power supply, but do not plug in the USB cable
• Wait a minute for it to boot, the connect via SSH (it will grab a DHCP IP Address - so I recommend checking your router to see which address was assigned)
  • ssh [email protected]
  • Password: raspberry
• run the following command to download the setup script from this repo, then follow along with the prompts
  • bash <(curl -Ls https://github.com/itcarsales/prusaPi/raw/master/newPi.sh)
  • Select your language, location, and timezone
    • I use en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 for US Language
• Your Pi should complete the script and reboot automatically

• Your Pi should have rebooted, and your USB cable should still be disconnected
• You can now reconnect via SSH using prusamaker as the new password
• CHANGE THE PASSWORD NOW
  • type passwd and follow the prompts
• run the following command to download the update script from this repo
  • bash <(curl -Ls https://github.com/itcarsales/prusaPi/raw/master/packageInstaller.sh)
  • This will update and install the required Raspbian Buster dependencies for this project (current as of 2-2020)
  • depending on your model Pi, this could take some time.
  • WARNING - this will download about 800Mb of data updates. An unstable connection may result in a bad time.

• run the following command to download the setup script from this repo
  • bash <(curl -Ls https://github.com/itcarsales/prusaPi/raw/master/prusaPi.sh)
• Your Pi should complete the script and reboot automatically

• Give your Pi a minute or so to reboot
• Connect your USB cable to your Prusa
• Power-On your Prusa
• Open a browser and visit the following URL:
  • http://PI.IP.ADDRESS.HERE
  • You should see the First-Run Setup screen for OctoPrint

• I'm not going to try to reinvent a setup guide, as this project was designed to simply allow Raspberry Pi users a way to use current OS releases with current OctoPrint releases......and include Prusa Printer Profiles.

Add an additional piHome Server to enable piHole adblocking, NodeRED IOT server, and VPN access for OctoPrint anywhere control.
