Just curious if anyone has set up linux Ubuntu (or other linux OS) on a PC or laptop to run octoprint and access it from another PC running windows. This would be very similar to running on a Raspberry Pi but I have a spare laptop so thought I would try this setup. I have the following up and running.
I used a github package from paukstelis called octoprint_deploy (it allows for an easy setup of multiple printers).
-
Installed Ubuntu on a laptop
-
setup a virtual server on unbuntu
-
installed octoprint on server with octoprint_deploy
-
I can run octoprint on the local host but unable to connect to my printer (will worry about that later)
-
I can run Putty from my Windows PC and connect to the Ubuntu server and run ubuntu from Putty.
-
I am unable to connect to the Ubuntu server from my windows PC browser . I enter the correct private IP 192.168.4.108:5000 but it cannot find the server with or without a firewall running.
I am at a loss as to how to connect remotely. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
TIA Blenky
