[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

Hello, Thanks for this. I came here because my MacBook Air was not powerful enough to slice my project. But I have a 48 core, 125gb ram unraid server that I have docker running on! I wish this had the option to use PrusaSlicer on my laptop, but send the slicing job to my powerhouse server to process the slicing.

When adding modifiers (STLs) onto existing STLs, it runs for half an hour, gets to about 89% and then just crashes.
