Virtual-Klipper-Printer

Run a simulated Klipper 3D-Printer in a Docker container.

---

Instructions:

1. Clone this repository
2. Open a terminal in the cloned folder
3. Run docker-compose up -d to build the docker image and start the container afterwards in detached mode

---

Notes:

• The first start of the container will take a moment since all components have to be downloaded and/or compiled
• You can access the containers shell with the following command:
  docker exec -it <CONTAINER ID> bash
• You get the <CONTAINER ID> with the following command:
  docker ps
• Restart the container with:
  docker container restart <CONTAINER ID>

---

Klipper, Moonraker and a simulated Atmel ATmega micro-controller now run inside of the Docker container and you can use it for whatever reason you decided to clone this repository 😄.

The container is build in a way, that you are able to quickly "re-install" Klipper and Moonraker or can quickly re-build the python environments or the firmware if that is ever necessary. For that, simply delete the corresponding folder/file and restart the container and the required components will be "installed" again.

Feel free to contribute if you find solutions to make the docker image even smaller (~679 MB as of now) or provide ideas to generally improve this project.
