Multiple Klipper Installations on One Pi

[Surion79]

Isn't it enough to run the install script with the -c and/or -k parameter as described on the repo readme? Or what is exactly your issue? The other part is copying the py files in the extras folder in the klipper folder.

[AustinTylerDean]

No, as your script looks for a klipper service that does not exist with a multiple printer installation. Change it to klipper*.service and I think that will work.

I would love to contribute but lack the confidence and skills to do so. The best I can do is summarize which details that need to be changed.

In install.sh change the following:
KLIPPER_CONFIG_HOME="${HOME}/printer_data/config"
needs to accommodate "printer_n_data" where n = an integer that Kiauh uses to designate multiple printer installations.

also

if [ "$(sudo systemctl list-units --full -all -t service --no-legend | grep -F "klipper.service")" ]; then
needs to change to "klipper*.service" or equivalent to accommodate multiple printer installations as the services are numbered with the corresponding integer as mentioned previously. For example, my service is called "Klipper1.service"

I also lack the skills to understand why my installation procedure allowed the Happy Hare installation to assign the ownership of the directory to root instead of the user (perhaps I used sudo when I didn't need to?) If anyone struggles with the update_manager coming back as invalid, see my associated closed issue.

If anyone is struggling with multiple Klipper installations, all you have to do is go to ~/ERCF-Software-V3 and edit install.sh with the above changes I have mentioned. You can also fork the installation on Github, make those changes, and then make sure to swap your name with Moggie's in the url under update_manager and you won't have to deal with a "dirty" installation. I'm pretty sure changing that install.sh will do it.

Good Luck!

If you can submit a PR for the suggested fix I can take a look. You are welcome to fork but then will run into problems getting update / bug fixes..

Actually, sorry, I read that you are not comfortable with PR's. No problem I'll take a look at incorporating this in the future. Definitely going into Happy Hare v2 now..

Thanks.

Question: what is the moonraker service names when you have multiple?

Is this just klipper and moonraker?

Perhaps you can run these commands and attach results:
systemctl list-units --type=service | grep klipper

systemctl list-units --type=service | grep moonraker

below are the data folders for the printers FYI

Thanks for the additional info. I will take a look when I get a chance but I will add to Happy Hare v2 rather than this release...
