[Docker Container] Prusaslicer noVNC (Prusaslicer in your browser)  

RE:

@mkurz
Hello, can you share you steps to get it working please? I’m running DSM 7.2 with docker and portainer but I don’t understand too much to this by my own, I’m also using port 8080 to qbittorrent so I would have to change the port.

I managed to install it but I cannot mount /prints/ folder.

:/

RE:

when you run the image in the container manager you can add paths. You need to add them there. 
Add a local source on your NAS for the configs mount and one for your prints.

You can also edit your ports there. IIRC i just followed the steps in the guide on the GitHub.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. It indeed works. I‘m currently running it on my DS423+ depending on the model its a bit slow in the preview but thats totaly fine for my needs. 
This NAS has an Intel Celeron J4125 and i maxed out the RAM to 18GB.

thank you 

 

Could you share your docker compose file so I could try something similar?

Thanks.

Hey,

i tried to install on Container Manager on a Synology DS1817+ running DSM7.2.

I tried with following yaml:

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  prusaslicer-novnc:
    image: mikeah/prusaslicer-novnc
    container_name: prusaslicer-novnc
    environment:
      - SSL_CERT_FILE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
      - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
      - NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all
      - DISPLAY=:0
      - VGL_DISPLAY=egl # needed to run without X server
      - SUPD_LOGLEVEL=TRACE
      - ENABLEHWGPU=true
      - VNC_RESOLUTION=1920x1080
      - NOVNC_PORT=5910
      #- VNC_PORT=5900
    volumes:
      - /volume1/public/3DPrint:/prints/
      - /volume1/docker/prusaslicer:/configs/
    restart: unless-stopped

But i cannot reach the WEB-UI. Any ideas?

Some parts of the log:

You probably need to add section 'port's in the yaml to expose the service with a mapping of host port to container port.

Correct! I added following line and can now access the web interface.

ports:
- 5910:5910
- 5900:5900

Now i can see the slicer, but it's flickering all the time and it is not useable.
Is a DS1817+ not good enough for running this?

RE: [Docker Container] Prusaslicer noVNC (Prusaslicer in your browser)

I don't know any Synology device.and it's performance,.though some things o consider:

1. Remove SUPD_LOGLEVEL=TRACE from the options, because this is mainly for debugging

2. Try without ENABLEHWGPU=true or lower the resolution
