What does it do?

octoprint_deploy is a script that makes installing multiple instances of OctoPrint easy. You do not have to edit any files as the entire script is guided to let you setup multiple instances exactly how you want them just following simple prompts.

Requirements

octoprint_deploy only works on Linux systems. The only additional requirement is that the linux system must use systemd (most of them do).

I just want to get started

• Install some version of Linux on your device
• Install git if it is not already (sudo apt install git on all DEB based systems)
• git clone https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_deploy
• sudo octoprint_deploy/octoprint_deploy.sh
• Prepare System
• Make sure admin user is setup (if you didn't already do it within the script)
• Add Instance
• Keep adding instances until you are done.

How many webcams can I use?

There is no definitive answer as this depends entirely on the system and the webcams. The biggest issue people run into with webcams is that they try to put all of them on a single USB hub. It is better to spread your webcams out between different USB ports as they are what is going to saturate your USB bus. Spreading them out over multiple USB buses is always the best option.
