I was able to run AstroPrint software on my BBB and I get confirmation that it also works on OrangePi zero. My WiFi dongle is not supporting AstroBox AP functionality, so I don't know if it will work with supported one. WiFi works fine, I was able to connect to AstroPrint cloud and even do a software update. Main feature - connection with printer - also works without problem. So, enjoy the AstroPrint functionality on Beaglebone or OrangePi! If you test it on other platforms, please let me know, I will add it to the list of supported devices.

If you have problems with wifi, you can try to set it manually: Configure /etc/network/interfaces adding all your wifi data and restart wpa_supplicant service $ps aux | grep wpa $kill <WPA_SERVICE_ID> $ifup wlan0 $ifconfig

If you managed to connect to wifi edit your wpa_supplicant.service file to start your wifi interface at boot:
$vi /lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service
and comment line like that:
#ExecStart=/sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s -O /run/wpa_supplicant
and add new one:
ExecStart=/sbin/ifup wlan0

Next configure astrobox to use manual network connection:
$vi /etc/astrobox/config.yaml
and add:
network:
manager: manual

reboot the box!

1. Install Debian on device (BeagleBone or other)

• Get image from: https://beagleboard.org/latest-images
• I used IoT version but in future will try to get the version with GUI to add my 7 inch LCD to it

2. Connect your device to internet (ethernet is recommended)
3. Ssh to your device:

  ssh USER_NAME@IP_OF_YOUR_BOX

4. ON YOUR DEVICE: Go to linux root directory:

  cd /

5. ON YOUR DEVICE: Clone git repository:

  sudo git clone https://github.com/bula87/AstroBox.git

6. ON YOUR DEVICE: Setup enviroment

  sudo /AstroBox/setup.sh

Your device should reboot a few times. AstroPrint should start on boot.
You can also start it manually:

  service astrobox start

7. Check if it works

  Open in the web browser: http://YOUR-DEVICE-IP:80

8. If someone will want it, I can also explain how securely access your AstroBox from outside the LAN via ssh reverse tunnelling.
