What server like programs do you use to run your printers? Right now I have repetier server on a Linux box and would like to stay with a Linux box if possible

2

OctoPrint is probably the most popular.

3

I’ll check it out

4

Have you ran any other programs?

5

5 Octoprint instances running 5 printers

6

Will octoprint do 2 printers in one instance?

7

@Abc_Def - not simultaneously.

8

So how would controlling two printers at once work? I have repetier server port forwarded to access outside of the house. Would I be able to do that with both printers in octopi?

9

@Abc_Def - You’d forward 2 ports from 2 instances. IE, one on 5000 and one on 5001

10

I use BotQueue to control multiple printers simultaneously but then again I’m biased

11

Repetier server is way underrated. I use it to control 3 printers. Too bad it doesn’t work with Sailfish firmware.

12

I’ve also been using octoprint on a pi 2b for a while. Very satisfied.

13

From what I’ve seen I believe repetier server will be the best

Cups?
