Octofarm: Struggling through Ubuntu Server on a RPI4

Created on 26 Apr 2021 · 6Comments · Source: OctoFarm/OctoFarm

Hi all.
I'm new here. It's the first time I'm using GitHub at 100%.

Octofarm save my live for 4 months in Windows but it started to go laggy and I decided to get into ubuntu server and a Raspberry. I started with a Model 3B+ but, with 30 printers, didn't work properly.

I'm now with a RPi4. 2 days ago I have octofarm running on it, but it wasn't as stable as i wish (my linux knowledge is stilll pretty short). So, today I started over and everything was pretty straight forward until this:

Fresh install following the new guide (amazing btw)

Octofarm version: 1.1.13
Node Version: 12.22.1
Mongodb version 4.4.5
Operating system: Ubuntu Server on a RPi4

This is a pm2.error.log

I really dont know how to do because, as I said, Ik pretty beginner in code, ubuntu...

Thanks for the help in advance!

Docs are perfect. Now are less confusing and for people like me the copy button add is the key.

Please make sure to update to Node 14 ;) This is a requirement.
https://nodejs.org/en/
Here you could read why:
https://github.com/OctoFarm/OctoFarm/issues (this is pinned)
For installation instructions:
https://octofarm.net/installation (not 100% clear, but its complete)

Note: 1.1.13 is still in prerelease, which means we intend to make this error clearer for new users, so keep that in mind! We plan to release 1.1.13 this week.

Happy printing!

Finally it works.

I missread the guide and only take this photon as the correct version.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks for pointing that out @Polloman93, I missed that!

Also someone who reads the instructions XD.

Updated the site thanks again.

As I said, I'm beginner in this so the instructions are a must for me. The optimal thing is to read it completly not just a line and take that as the TRUTH xDD

Nice work guys, this is a really improvement to poeple with more than 3 printers.

Thanks for all.

As a dev its sometimes hard to see the obvious things, any way we can improve the docs from your point of view?
