I've found
LePotato
is great, as long as my use case fits the processor speed.LibreComputer
(maker ofLePotato
) also offers Renegade for a bit more oompf.The downside is that there's far fewer pre built images available. The saving grace is that stock
Armbian
is fantastic, and can often be upgraded to match the pre built image I want with a fewapt
commands.Edit: I haven't run
OctoPrint
onLePotato
but my educated guess is that it would run just fine.When using
Armbian
to host projects similar toOctoPrint
, I have needed to follow theInstall from Source
instructions from the project site. The experience wasn't terrible, for me, but I am really good at getting stuff to compile.I have run OctoPrint on a LePotato, and it runs absolutely fine for me. It feels responsive and good, though I have no frame of reference for comparison.
Installing it was easy, as there was a simple guide and program available. :::
Yeah LibreComputer boards have become my go to SBC now, if you're fine headless the debian minimal image they offer is solid base image. I use Kiauh to handle my klipper setups, makes setting up klipper and related super simple, I think I recall an option to install octoprint with it as well.
