Spaghetti Detective Server Install Tutorial - WIN10

[@mizunoslove]

Hey Luke, I used your guide and it was awesome! One note I would like to point out that I got confused, when you said edit the sites, i thought you meant to add a new one. If you add a new one it will not work, and that is extremely important! So I would just add that as a note, I ended up contacting TSD and found out the hard way. I was able to do it over and get it fixed, but I felt it was important to add. Thanks! Awesome guide.

[@LukesLaboratory]

Thanks for getting back to me! What was the error that you ran across by doing that?

[@mizunoslove]

@@LukesLaboratory I would get constant connection failures. My token and server would work, but have errors. So by making a second site and deleting the example site,TSD won't connect to the printers because it has to be site 1. I discussed this with the devs and they are going to see if they can find a way to prevent it from happening in the future. An easy fix is to uninstall everything and redo it all, it will work.

I know that this is a pretty late comment but on 4:18, when I enter my ip address with the "" (just letting you know, I didn't put the quotation marks ) it won't work. But when I try without the "", Octoprint first puts its ip address with a forward slash and then puts in the server's ip with the port. When it does that though, it says that the "requested URL was not found. Very nice video though, it was explained pretty well :)

[@dhallftworth1]

I was able to get it all set up, but I'm unable to see my timelapse videos. I show that i have several, but they will not open. Do you know what could be wrong?

[@thevrboi]

im still able to set it up thanks to you

[@michaellindborg1510]

Is it possible to use the TSD app with your own server? Can`t find a way to change the server config in the app.

[@sandman7793]

Thanks for the tut. I didn't realize i was using the wrong folder for power shell, duh. Anyways, thanks for the video. Awesome.

[@chrisjoe12374]

I am new to this so would i need to set this up on a computer that stays at home and soley runs this program?

[@hunterpatton548]

It doesn't to solely run the program but most ppl opt in to just dedicate a older pc to running the machine learning.

[@LukesLaboratory]

@@hunterpatton548 This is the correct answer, thank you!

[@trevorwesterdahl6245]

Nobody mentions that Spaghetti Detective forces usb camera to be at 25 FPS or less and 640x480 resolution. You have to select the advanced option to be in compatibility mode to get hi res cam working again, and if you do it may take too much cpu resources, so much so, the print turns out bad. No guidance on what hardware may work for hi resolution streaming. Seems like low res images aren't going to be great at detecting spaghetti, are they? Also makes it sound like multiple cams are really not supported.

[@LukesLaboratory]

Hi There! regarding the high-res cam, I'm curious if a PI4 would be sufficient since it's quite powerful. Multiple Cameras are not supported, but are definitely a future option.

[@moclan582]

If I re start my PC, how do I start the Server again?

[@Gunham20]

Also, would it work on raspberry pi 4?

[@LukesLaboratory]

If by server hosting, no. If you're talking of the octoprint plugin, yes.

[@commiccannon592]

Luke's Laboratory what would be the limiting factor because the github site says pretty much any computer with more then 2gb of ram will work

[@nathan1sixteen]

So, is it possible to set this up so that I can access it on multiple computers that are both on the same network and other networks? Currently, I can only access TSD on the computer I have it installed on, not on any other computer, even if they're on the same network. This is really annoying as I set this up specifically so that I could monitor prints while at work.

[@almaefogo]

You will need to use the external ip and most likely point it to the server, if you are still interested in making it work I'm going to set this up for the printer that I'm going to print and in a month or so I can report back with the right way to do it

I know this is an old post, but I'm stuck with an email problem using my gmail setup. Everytime it tries to send an email I get an Error 500. Have tried reinstall, reset email info, and verified everything I can find. Anyone have any advice?

[@LukesLaboratory]

Hey There Shad - Most residential addresses have email sending disabled due to massive spam campaigns of the 90's. It may be blocked by default, so if the email server in TSD is trying to use an email "server" to send email instead of as a client, that may be the cause of your concern.

[@shadgarvey5215]

@@LukesLaboratory I'm trying to follow the same setup you used with gmail. Edited the docker compose file, with & without secure gmail settings but still no luck. Did you have to make any gmail changes other than the ones you showed? I tried with app password, and with 2 factor on/off but no luck.

[@trucker2215]

Is it possible to set this up as a Docker container

[@LukesLaboratory]

Hi! TSD is already docker-ized as far as i know! Do you want to make a docker of a docker?

[@jreed1701d]

Hey Luke. I did the set up on my own Ubuntu 18.04 server and couldn't get the web cam stream to work. Did you have any issues setting up the web camera? Some points. I made sure to open up the firewall ports. I followed the help guide. www.thespaghettidetective.com/docs/webcam-feed-is-not-showing.html Everything checks out. I can curl the stream URL from both the PI i have Octoprint on and the server hosting TSD. Except I get nothing. Any help would be appreicated.

[@LukesLaboratory]

Hey I just realized I didn't respond to your post. No, I did not have any issues with webcams showing up. Have you tried updating to newer versions?

[@beardedcobra4898]

hei :D thanks for the awsm vid! so if i set up a server like you i can run unlimited printers for as long as i want and wont pay anything? Is that right? THANKS!!

[@HienNguyen-zo2hv]

Do you think it is better to put the camera on X-carriage?

[@LukesLaboratory]

Thats a hard question to answer w/out seeing what kind of printer you have. I would think that the optimal solution would be on a i3-style motion system (bed is Y axis, gantry is z+x) would be to have a stationary camera above that watches along the Y axis.

[@HienNguyen-zo2hv]

@@LukesLaboratory It's i3 style. I think It would be easier for the algorithm to detect spaghetti in the nozzle rather than the whole object.

[@LukesLaboratory]

@@HienNguyen-zo2hv here's one example that i think they're shooting for as the example - bit.ly/2J0WzY2 - It'll download the vidjeo from the TSD , otherwise here's a screenshot from that video that shows a much better example of what I'm talking about. imgur.com/a/YhFAG61

[@WayneDavisRocks]

there is no shared devices in docker 2021

[@LukesLaboratory]

hmm ok i'll take a peek and see what i can find out, but i haven't run my local server in a while

[@SirDragonClaw]

@@LukesLaboratory Did you ever get a chance to look into this?

[@Gunham20]

Is it free if u run your own server?

[@LukesLaboratory]

Yes, it is!

[@doubledogdrone]

Has anyone been able to install this on Windows 7 yet?

[@braaap2065]

Why would you be using windows 7 when we are up to 11?

[@sandman7793]

Crap I get server error 500

[@LukesLaboratory]

I just ran a fresh install, I also have this problem. I was able to fix it by opening git-bash, cd-ing to the folder, and then using the command "git reset --hard 19942c169a98350d79021ba1392537d3cce1a528" which is the branch/tree that i used to set it up origionally. I was able to revert my branch and get the server responsive again.

[@sandman7793]

@@LukesLaboratory thanks. I'll try it right now. I'm reinstalling it again. Lol. 3rd time.

[@sandman7793]

That worked!! Thank you so much.

[@LukesLaboratory]

@@sandman7793 - Shouldn't require a re-install, just CD to the folder you origionally have it in, execute that command while CD'd to that folder, then restart docker services. If you've already nuked the folder, re-install makes sense, but this should provide some help! :)

@@sandman7793 NP - Thanks for the feedback, I've submitted issue #51 for the Devs to take a look at.
