COMPLETE Access OctoPrint Camera Off Network

Hello,

So the OctoPrint upgrade uses MJPG-streamer to capture images from cameras. This can be accessed at the following URL on your internal network:

http://192.168.1.156:8080

Obviously changing the IP address to that of your RPi. Or you can use http://octopi.local:8000/ if you have Bonjour/mDNS working.

If you wish to expose a single page with a stream then the following can be used:

http://192.168.1.156:8080/stream_simple.html

You could either forward this on your router or use NGinx as a reverse proxy:

Hi Mike - not yet...

I have a Dyn DNS subdomain on my main domain that forwards to my home IP. The update client and nginx proxy are on a server I run at home, unfortunately this is offline at the moment until I can get some Molex to SATA adapters after I made a mistake switching drive bay caddies over last night. I see no reason why it wouldnt work as I am already forwarding my Ubiquiti CCTV system out and that works fine.

I presume you are port forwarding on your router?

 

I was trying to find out how to PM you but couldnt find how to do it on this forum software.

Pinging your DNS name, you won't want the port number. Have you rebooted the router, as some need doing, when you've added the port? Does it work if you use your public IP address?

Not sure if you have a Dyn DNS update issue, a port forward issue or a routing issue.
