OctoPrint On Air #14
Channel: OctoPrint
Date: 2017-12-18

The fourteenth episode of a monthly dev log/Q&A session about all things OctoPrint for my Patrons on Patreon which aired live on December 16th 2017.

My Patrons can submit questions to answer during the Q&A session via a Google Form before and - usually ;) - also live during the broadcast via the chat.

Expect more videos like that roughly on a monthly schedule. If you want to attend the live broadcast and ask questions beforehand or live on air, consider becoming a Patron on Patreon and selecting one of the corresponding perks - that will also help me with continuing to work on OctoPrint full time, which I love doing!

Intro

What I have been up to

00:02:14 More work towards 1.4.0, but mostly work towards 1.3.6
00:04:39 Patreon fee madness

00:11:18 Christmas vacation & Chaos Communication Congress in Leipzig (feel free to say hi!)
00:12:44 Come January: work towards 1.3.7 & 1.4.0

Q&A

00:14:00 "Can you explain your development environment? For example, which IDE are you using? How do you manage the list of issues? Your changelogs are always impressive and detailed. I suppose that you are not doing this manually."
00:23:00 "[Is the bug tracker] purely [for] dev topics or can we also discuss small behavioral annoyances that might be fixable"
00:31:12 "Would there be any problems running octoprint from an NFS mount? This way I would be able to use snapshots from my NAS to be able to test things like RCs and be able to roll back if any issues are encountered."
00:36:28 "Following the Patreon mess, can you tell us if you lost (many) patrons?"
00:40:55 "I have a project that would require installing a second method to Authenticate with Octoprint. On a Scale of 1(easy) to 10(insane) is this going to be?"
00:44:10 "Will you be working on specific features, plugins, or interfacing with the Prusa i3 Mk3 expansion port now that you have [yours]?"
00:55:12 "Somes new about the FirmwareUpdater plugin?"
