moonraker/docs/user_changes.md

This file will track changes that require user intervention, such as a configuration change or a reinstallation.

March 4th 2021

• To enable Octoprint compatibility with slicer uploads it is now required to add [octoprint_compat] to moonraker.conf.

December 31st 2020

• The file manager no longer restricts the config_path to a folder within the HOME directory. The path may not be the system root, however it can reside anywhere else on the file system as long as Moonraker has read and write access to the directory. This applies to gcode path received from Klipper via the virtual_sdcard section as well.

December 6th 2020

• Moonraker is now installed as a systemd service. This allows logging to stdout which can be viewed with the journalctl -u moonraker command. This changes requires the user to rerun the install script. If moonraker.conf is not located in the home directory, the command will looks something like the following:

  cd ~/moonraker
  ./scripts/install-moonraker.sh -f -c /home/pi/klipper_config/moonraker.conf
  

  Otherwise you can run the install script with no arguments.

November 19th 2020

• The install script (install-moonraker.sh) now has command-line options:
  -r Rebuild the python virtual env
  -f Force an overwrite of /etc/default/moonraker during installation
  -c /path/to/moonraker.conf Allows user to specify the path to moonraker.conf during configuration. Using this in conjunction with -f will update the defaults file wih the new path.
• New dependencies have been added to Moonraker which require reinstallation. Run the following command to reinstall and rebuild the virtualenv:

  ~/moonraker/scripts/install-moonraker.sh -r
  

• The power plugin configuration has changed. See the install guide for details on the new configuration.
• Users transitioning from the previous version of the power plugin will need to unexport any curently used pins. For example, the following command may be used to unexport pin 19:

  echo 19 > /sys/class/gpio/unexport
  

  Alternatively one may reboot the machine after upgrading:

  cd ~/moonraker/
  git pull
  ~/moonraker/scripts/install-moonraker.sh -r
  sudo reboot
  

  Make sure that the power plugin configuration has been updated prior to rebooting the machine.
