Problem or Use Case

as integrated slicer has been abandonned, Liuxserver.io offer dockerized slicer versions :

https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-bambustudio

direct linking seems not feasible as it runs through a vnc style app but folers sharing may be possible

Proposed Solution

add option in the docker compose for folder sharing / sync

Alternatives Considered

i'm not sure to understand well the problem but it looks like the slicer problems emerge form API use of slicers. tell me if i'm wrong.

using containerized slicers doesnt use API, its a full application served by a VNC inside a docker environment. It cannot handle automatic slicing but allow only to have distant and isolated complete management.

dockerized slicer cans access virtual printers on the same LAN and share folders with the dockerized bambuddy. it wont automate process but only deliver a full local environment available in browser.

made some quick tests :

there's no direct links between apps, only shared folders inside docker environment that would facilitate distant operations

Yes, you're right. Should have read your issue more carefully ;)

Yes, we laready looked into it. Need to pick this up when there's time.

So if you would share Bambuddy folders with the BS container, then you need to tinker the compose file of BS and not Bambuddy.

So I don't see what you need from Bambuddy?!

I''m not sure to understand your question

Maybe an answer : as i've looked for global capabilities including slicing luke bambuhandy and as there are many request for this and négative answers due to technical considérations i was priposing another approach.

I will investigate for myself, and share, but maybe it could be part of bambuddy

Looking at dockerized environnement made by linuxserver makes me think of 3 ways

  • a correct folder path sharing between bambuddy docker and dockerized slicer but this leads to many manual opérations
  • the inclusion of bambuddy web interface in the dockerized selkies environment + xdg settings. Seems the easiest way to do as selkies environment includes browser + xdg
  • the use of sealskin app from selkies to seamlessly commmunicate between bambuddy interface and remote dockerized slicer through

All 3 makes the whole install available anywhere and doesn't need yo have slicer installed on each machine or on locked machine like at work.

I'm quite New at bambuddy, so it takes me some time to understand how it woks and how folders/database and slicer communication are made.

Selkies/sealskin requires some https management knowkedge also.

I still don't see the point.

If you want to use the dockerized slicer, mount a shared folder to it, spin it up and connect to Bambuddy. That's it.
