Hi, this is currently not possible via the UI. It is also untested if it works at all.
If you need this quickly and are familiar with the Linux shell, you could try:
ln -s <path to other database> <previous database name without path>
.Please note that the database file you delete will be permanently lost.
Also please note that this is untested. It should work, but it will cause issues if both instances of OctoPrint try to write to the database of SpoolManager at the same time, because the plugin will not know that it's sharing the file. If you try this, please let me know if it worked. Please make backups.
Unfortunately I don't have the necessary knowledge to do this myself. Would it be possible for you to provide the option to share the same database link directly in the plugin UI?
Sorry for the simplistic question, but what would happen if this link were editable and I put exactly the same one for my other instances? For exemple
Spool Manager storage menu in my Octoprint1
Spool Manager storage menu in my Octoprint2
I have just recently adopted the plugin, so I don't know how easy it would be to make that field editable and actually work. I think it's possible though - it would result in the same behaviour as the suggestion I made for the command line.
I have marked this ticket as enhancement suggestion and will look into it. I think it would be useful. :)
I suggest placing a checkbox to allow editing of the field. And leave a warning that this is something "beta" for now.
Thank you for adopting this plugin. It is extremely useful, especially for those who work with large-scale 3D printing like me.
Can you make a beta version available with field editing permission for testing?
It's not done with making the text field editable. It's currently without function. I can make a beta version available as soon as I have actually programmed the functionality.
I will soon release a new stable version that will make a "testing" channel available. If you subscribe to that "testing" channel, you will get the feature in beta state as soon as I release it.
Hi. Any updates on this feature or a new version of the plugin?
Not yet. Any updates will be posted on this issue or in release notes of published versions, which you will receive via OctoPrint.
ah, ok. Thx
Hi. I have 2 printers connected to the same raspberry. Each printer runs its own instance of octoprint. I would like to share the same SpoolManager database for both printers. Is this possible? Thx!
