OctoPrint + Docker: USB devices hot plugging

1 year ago By Daniel

One of the drawbacks of using OctoPrint in the default Docker Container is that the printer must be connected and operational for the container to start. This issue can affect the operation of useful plugins like PSU Control.

Fortunately there is a way to enable serial device hot plugging in a Docker container. It is practical if you are running few printers/containers.

The following instructions were written for 3D printers but the logic could be applied to any serial device and any type of container (HomeAssistant, Zigbee2MQTT, etc...).

If you don't have the tools or are having difficulties to compile the firmware for your printer (any printer) I can do it for you for a small fee. Please read the description of the service below and if you are interested, follow the instructions.

Please note that I am not doing this as my main occupation, it is just a convenience service from a guy that did this hundreds of times. Anyone can download and compile Marlin by following tutorials available everywhere.
