About OctoPi
OctoPi is a ready-made Raspberry Pi distribution for running a 3D printer from a browser. It includes the OctoPrint host software out of the box, plus mjpg-streamer with Raspberry Pi camera support for watching prints live and creating timelapse videos.
The repository holds the scripts that build the image from an existing Raspberry Pi OS image. Beta builds are also available for the Le Potato AML-S905X-CC board. Most users download a stable build and write it to an SD card instead of building it themselves.

Alternatives to OctoPi
Compare allSoftware that can replace OctoPi for an important use case, and what changes if you switch.
MainsailOS
Raspberry Pi operating system image preconfigured with Klipper and the Mainsail web interface.
MainsailOS is a Raspberry Pi image that ships Klipper with the Mainsail web interface instead of OctoPrint, so the printer runs Klipper firmware on the host.
OctoPrint
Control and monitor a 3D printer from a browser.
OctoPrint installed on its own runs on any Linux host rather than a dedicated Raspberry Pi image, but requires setting it up yourself instead of flashing it.
KIAUH
Command-line helper script that installs and updates Klipper and related 3D printer software.
KIAUH is a terminal script that installs Klipper, Moonraker and web interfaces on an existing Linux install, rather than replacing the operating system with a ready image.
