I’m working on a module to add OctoPrint status to my zsh prompt, which I’ll probably write about in the future as a bigger post about my prompt customizations.
To start with that though, I need to play around with accessing the API via curl.
So here’s my super alpha version that will request the current status via HTTP and output it:
#!/bin/bash
OCTOPRINT_API="hunter2"
BASE_URL="http://octoprint.example.com"
JOB_ENDPOINT="${BASE_URL}/api/job"
CURL_TIMEOUT="0.5"# Fetch the JSON from OctoPrint
response="$(curl --max-time ${CURL_TIMEOUT} --silent --fail \
--header "X-Api-Key: ${OCTOPRINT_API}" \
"${JOB_ENDPOINT}")"# Extract fields with jq
file_name=$(jq -r '.job.file.display' <<< "$response")
completion=$(jq -r '.progress.completion' <<< "$response")
state=$(jq -r '.state' <<< "$response")
time_elapsed=$(jq -r '.progress.printTime' <<< "$response")
time_left=$(jq -r '.progress.printTimeLeft' <<< "$response")
# Round the completion percentage to two decimals
completion_str=$(printf"%.2f""$completion")
# Convert seconds to H:MM:SSfunctionfmt_time() {
local total_seconds="$1"local hours=$((total_seconds / 3600))
local minutes=$(((total_seconds % 3600) / 60))
local seconds=$((total_seconds % 60))
printf"%02d:%02d:%02d""$hours""$minutes""$seconds"
}
# Convert the times
time_elapsed_str=$(fmt_time "$time_elapsed")
time_left_str=$(fmt_time "$time_left")
# Print a readable summaryecho"File: ${file_name}"echo"State: ${state}"echo"Completion: ${completion_str}%"echo"Time Elapsed: ${time_elapsed_str}"echo"Time Left: ${time_left_str}"Code language:Bash(bash)
I set up a few defaults I like to have for my Pis:
# Updates, new software, and cleanup
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install mc screen ack zsh locate git htop cockpit -y
sudo apt autoremove
# Add dotfile customizations. Sorry, it's currently private :D
git clone git@github.com:emrikol/dotfiles.git
cp -r ~/dotfiles/. ~/
sudo usermod --shell /bin/zsh derrick
zsh
# Set up root access so I can SCP in from Transmit if I need to.
sudo sed -i 's/#PermitRootLogin prohibit-password/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
sudo passwd root
# Customize Raspberry Pi settings.
sudo raspi-configCode language:Bash(bash)
After installing cockpit I believe, I had an issue where the MAC address of my Wifi kept changing randomly on each reboot. I had to follow these instructions and add this to my /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:
From here, we should have my default “base” Raspberry Pi setup. And now, we can work on figuring out how to install Pibooth. According to the install docs, we need to run a few commands:
$ sudo apt install "libsdl2-*"

libsdl2-2.0-0set to manually installed.

Meh. Okay. Let’s just install all of them but the trouble package. Hopefully that won’t come back to bite us.
