I am working on Octoprint for 3Dprinter. Using Raspberry Pi as server and it is working fine with Raspbian OS.
But the system works only when it is connected to internet. Can I run the same without internet and How I can change the UI.
Technically you don't have to be connected to the internet, but OctoPrint is a web server so in order to connect to it, you need to at least have a LAN connection between your client and your Raspberry Pi. If you just intend to use it from localhost (ie client and server are the same machine) you just need enough networking to allow loopback to work. Which as idstam pointed out isn't a programming question.
On changing the UI, that could be a programming question, but your query is very non-specific. OctoPrint is written in python and has a pretty rich plugin system to allow you to add UI and replace parts of the UI. It is also well documented at http://docs.octoprint.org.

I have a rasp pi 3 which controls an irrigation system. The pi is headless, and is controlled via the home network by running a Tomcat server, which creates a UI. Mostly, the irrigation system is automatic, but I can log in to the Tomcat server to see the log of its activities, or change settings, or update the planting plan or manually control the sprinklers.
Now I'd like something similar, but in a place where there is no internet available. That is, I'd like to use the pi as a standalone web server, so that I can access the UI using a browser on my phone. I've looked through the rasp pi documentation, but it describes setting up access points, which seem to depend on a wired connection between the pi and the router. I've read about connecting via SSH to a standalone setup, but that article said that support for a standalone server isn't available.
Is what I'm looking for possible?
Thanks,
John
So this is a classic question that I’ve seen many times before...
I’m trying to connect to my home network when not at home using a raspberry pi.
I’m well aware that the way to go with this is to use a vpn server such as OpenVPN.
However, in order to connect to the vpn I would need to forward a port on my router... which I can’t do.
I’ve found remote.it which allows remote connection to a computer (pi) without port forwarding.
What I would like to know is how would I set about using the 2 together, I.e. connecting to remote.it which in turn connects me to my vpn server?
I'm sorry to be finding this question just now, but in case it's still useful to you or to anyone else, here's what you need to do:
Install remote.it
Set-up a remote.it connection to use the protocol (TCP/UDP) and port required by the VPN application
Make a remote.it connection/adding the service to your network (remoteit - Desktop application UI terminology)
Use this connection info (URL/port or localhost:port) with the VPN client
Send an e-mail to support#remote.it if you need help
I would recommend ZeroTier(https://www.zerotier.com/). It haves its own linux client , and you can connect to as many networks as you would like.
You can also configure IP address from the website.
There is also an Android an IOS app that is really simple to connect.
I got a job recently where I have to make sure that the company's internet is able to connect to the media streaming system installed inside the server room. However due to some limitations, just by connecting it to the router is not a solution. Therefore, I've setup a Raspberry Pi which will allows me to connect the server room's intranet to the company's internet. Currently, I can use both resources on that Pi due to the interface wlan0 and eth0.
I was wondering if possible that I could access the media streaming system's GUI through the PI inside the company's internet.
I have a nodejs server in my raspberry and I want people to be able to connecto to it just connecting to the raspi.
The ideal scenario is where in my phone I see the raspi SSID, I connect to it. Then I open chrome enter the ip:port of the raspi itself and it works. Nothing fancier.
What I don't know how to search for in the internet is how to set my pi in a way that it opens itself to the world and appears in the SSID list in my phone. I don't need internet sharing nor anything. Just accessing the nodejs server in the pi.
This can be easily achieved depending on the OS you are using in your pi. Use basically need to use hostapd and a DHCP Server.
You can use a script like create_ap.
I configured hostapd to make an Access Point Wi-Fi network on my raspberry pi... everything works fine. It acts like a router.
Can i bind client devices via WPS? For example phones, ESP8266 that support WPS connections?
