config.yaml 

If not specified via the command line, the main configuration file config.yaml for OctoPrint is expected in its settings folder, which unless defined differently via the command line is located at ~/.octoprint on Linux, at %APPDATA%/OctoPrint on Windows and at ~/Library/Application Support/OctoPrint on macOS. If the file is not there, you can just create it - it will only get created by OctoPrint once you save settings that deviate from the default settings.

Note that many of these settings are available from the “Settings” menu in OctoPrint itself. They can also be configured via config command line interface.

Contents

Access Control 

Use the following settings to enable access control:

accessControl:
  # The user manager implementation to use for accessing user information. Currently only a filebased
  # user manager is implemented which stores configured accounts in a YAML file (Default: users.yaml
  # in the default configuration folder, see below)
  userManager: octoprint.access.users.FilebasedUserManager

  # The YAML user file to use. If left out defaults to users.yaml in the default configuration folder.
  userfile: /path/to/users.yaml

  # If set to true, will automatically log on clients originating from any of the networks defined in
  # "localNetworks" as the user defined in "autologinAs". Defaults to false.
  autologinLocal: false

  # The name of the user to automatically log on clients originating from "localNetworks" as. Must
  # be the name of one of your configured users.
  autologinAs: someUser

  # A list of networks or IPs for which an automatic logon as the user defined in "autologinAs" will
  # take place. If available OctoPrint will evaluate the "X-Forwarded-For" HTTP header for determining
  # the client's IP address (see https://code.google.com/p/haproxy-docs/wiki/forwardfor on how to
  # configure the sending of this header in HAProxy). Defaults to 127.0.0.0/8 (so basically anything
  # originating from localhost).
  localNetworks:
  - 127.0.0.0/8
  - 192.168.1.0/24

  # Whether to trust Basic Authentication headers. If you have setup Basic Authentication in front of
  # OctoPrint and the user names you use there match OctoPrint accounts, by setting this to true users will
  # be logged into OctoPrint as the user during Basic Authentication. Your should ONLY ENABLE THIS if your
  # OctoPrint instance is only accessible through a connection locked down through Basic Authentication!
  trustBasicAuthentication: false

  # Whether to also check the password provided through Basic Authentication if the Basic Authentication
  # header is to be trusted. Disabling this will only match the user name in the Basic Authentication
  # header and login the user without further checks. Use with caution.
  checkBasicAuthenticationPassword: true

  # Whether to trust remote user headers. If you have setup authentication in front of
  # OctoPrint and the user names you use there match OctoPrint accounts, by setting this to true users will
  # be logged into OctoPrint as the user provided in the header. Your should ONLY ENABLE THIS if your
  # OctoPrint instance is only accessible through a connection locked down through an authenticating reverse proxy!
  trustRemoteUser: false

  # Header used by the reverse proxy to convey the authenticated user.
  remoteUserHeader: REMOTE_USER

  # If a remote user is not found, add them. Use this only if all users from the remote system can use OctoPrint.
  addRemoteUsers: false

  # Default timeout after which to require reauthentication by a user for dangerous changes, in minutes.
  # Defaults to 5 minutes. Set to 0 to disable reauthentication requirements (SECURITY IMPACT!).
  defaultReauthenticationTimeout: 5

API 

Settings for the REST API:

api:
  # Whether to enable the API
  enabled: True

  # Current API key needed for accessing the API
  key: ...

  # Whether to allow cross origin access to the API or not
  allowCrossOrigin: false

  # Additional app api keys, see REST API > Apps in the docs.
  # Deprecated since 1.3.11, to be removed in 1.4.0!
  apps:
    "some.app.identifier:some_version":
      pubkey: <RSA pubkey>
      enabled: true

Appearance 

Use the following settings to tweak OctoPrint’s appearance a bit to better distinguish multiple instances/printers appearance or to modify the order and presence of the various UI components:

appearance:
  # Use this to give your printer a name. It will be displayed in the title bar
  # (as "<Name> [OctoPrint]") and in the navigation bar (as "OctoPrint: <Name>")
  name: My Printer

  # Use this to color the navigation bar. Supported colors are red, orange,
  # yellow, green, blue, violet and default.
  color: default

  # Makes the color of the navigation bar "transparent". In case your printer uses
  # acrylic for its frame ;)
  colorTransparent: false

  # Show the internal filename in the files sidebar, if necessary
  # UI change only
  showInternalFilename: true

  # Configures the order and availability of the UI components
  components:

    # Defines the order of the components within their respective containers.
    #
    # If overridden by the user the resulting order for display will be calculated as
    # follows:
    #
    # - first all components as defined by the user
    # - then all enabled core components as define in the default order (see below)
    #
    # Components not contained within the default order (e.g. from plugins) will be either
    # prepended or appended to that result, depending on component type.
    #
    # Note that a component is not included in the order as defined by the user will still
    # be put into the container, according to the default order. To fully disable a
    # component, you'll need to add it to the container's disabled list further below.
    order:

      # order of navbar items
      navbar:
      - settings
      - systemmenu
      - plugin_announcements
      - plugin_logging
      - plugin_pi_support
      - login

      # order of sidebar items
      sidebar:
      - plugin_firmware_check

      - files

      # order of tab items
      tab:
      - temperature
      - control
      - plugin_gcodeviewer
      - terminal
      - timelapse

      # order of settings, if settings plugins are registered gets extended internally by
      # section_plugins and all settings plugins
      settings:
      - section_printer
      - serial

      - supporters
      - authors
      - license
      - thirdparty
      - plugin_pluginmanager

      # order of generic templates
      generic: []

    # Disabled components per container. If a component is included here it will not
    # be included in OctoPrint's UI at all. Note that this might mean that critical
    # functionality will not be available if no replacement is registered.
    disabled:
      navbar: []
      sidebar: []
      tab: []
      settings: []
      usersettings: []
      generic: []

  # Default language of OctoPrint. If left unset OctoPrint will try to match up available
  # languages with the user's browser settings.
  defaultLanguage: null

Note

By modifying the components > order lists you may reorder OctoPrint’s UI components as you like. You can also inject Plugins at another than their default location in their respective container by adding the entry plugin_<plugin identifier> where you want them to appear.

Example: If you want the tab of the Hello World Plugin to appear as the first tab in OctoPrint, you’d need to redefine components > order > tab by including something like this in your config.yaml:

appearance:
  components:
    order:
      tab:
      - plugin_helloworld

OctoPrint will then display the tabs in the order plugin_helloworld, temperature, control, plugin_gcodeviewer, terminal, timelapse plus any other plugins.

Controls 

Use the controls section to add custom controls to the “Controls” tab within OctoPrint.

controls:
  - name: Fan
    layout: horizontal
    children:
      - name: Enable Fan
        type: parametric_command
        command: M106 S%(speed)s
        input:
          - name: Speed (0-255)
            parameter: speed
            default: 255

    # be fully rerendered on request to / on the server.
    enabled: true

    # Whether to enable the preemptive cache
    preemptive: true

  # Settings for stylesheet preference. OctoPrint will prefer to use the stylesheet type
  # specified here. Usually (on a production install) that will be the compiled css (default).
  # Developers may specify less here too.
  stylesheet: css

  # Settings for OctoPrint's web asset merging and minifying
  webassets:
    # If set to true, OctoPrint will merge all JS, all CSS and all Less files into one file per type
    # to reduce request count. Setting it to false will load all assets individually. Note: if this is set to
    # false, no minification will take place regardless of the minify setting below.
    bundle: true

    # If set to true, OctoPrint will the core and library javascript assets. Note: if bundle is
    # set to false, no minification will take place either.
    minify: true

    # If set to true, OctoPrint will also minify the third party plugin javascript assets. Note: if bundle or
    # minify are set to false, no minification of the plugin assets will take place either.
    minify_plugins: false

    # Whether to delete generated web assets on server startup (forcing a regeneration)
    clean_on_startup: true

  # enable or disable the loading animation
  showLoadingAnimation: true

Estimation 

The following settings provide parameters for estimators within OctoPrint. Currently only the estimation of the left print time during an active job utilizes this section.

estimation:
  # Parameters for the print time estimation during an ongoing print job
  printTime:
    # Until which percentage to do a weighted mixture of statistical duration (analysis or
    # past prints) with the result from the calculated estimate if that's already available.
    # Utilized to compensate for the fact that the earlier in a print job, the least accuracy
    # even a stable calculated estimate provides.
    statsWeighingUntil: 0.5

    # Range the assumed percentage (based on current estimated statistical, calculated or mixed
    # total vs elapsed print time so far) needs to be around the actual percentage for the
    # result to be used
    validityRange: 0.15

    # If no estimate could be calculated until this percentage and no statistical data is available,
    # use dumb linear estimate
    forceDumbFromPercent: 0.3

    # If no estimate could be calculated until this many minutes into the print and no statistical
    # data is available, use dumb linear estimate
    forceDumbAfterMin: 30

    # Average fluctuation between individual calculated estimates to consider in stable range. Seconds
    # of difference.
    stableThreshold: 60

Events 

Use the following settings to add shell/gcode commands to be executed on certain events:

events:
  subscriptions:
    # example event consumer that prints a message to the system log if the printer is disconnected
    - event: Disconnected
      command: "logger 'Printer got disconnected'"
      type: system

    # example event consumer that queries printer information from the firmware, prints a "Connected"
    # message to the LCD and homes the print head upon established printer connection, disabled though
    - event: Connected
      command: M115,M117 printer connected!,G28
      type: gcode
      enabled: False

Note

For debugging purposes, you can also add an additional property debug to your event subscription definitions that if set to true will make the event handler print a log line with your subscription’s command after performing all placeholder replacements. Example:

events:
  subscriptions:
  - event: Startup
    command: "logger 'OctoPrint started up'"
    type: system
    debug: true

This will be logged in OctoPrint’s logfile as

Executing System Command: logger 'OctoPrint started up'

Note

If you want to run OctoPrint behind a reverse proxy such as HAProxy or Nginx and use a different base URL than the server root / you have two options to achieve this. One approach is using the configuration settings baseUrl and scheme mentioned above in which OctoPrint will only work under the configured base URL.

The second and better approach is to make your proxy send a couple of custom headers with each forwarded requests:

X-Script-Name: should contain your custom baseUrl (absolute server path), e.g. /octoprint

X-Scheme: should contain your custom URL scheme to use (if different from http), e.g. https

If you use these headers OctoPrint will work both via the reverse proxy as well as when called directly. Take a look into OctoPrint’s wiki for some examples on how to configure this.

Note

If you want to embed OctoPrint in a frame, you’ll need to set allowFraming to true or your browser will prevent this.

In future browser builds you will also have to make sure you frame is on the same domain as OctoPrint or that OctoPrint is served via https through a reverse proxy and has set cookies.secure to true or your browser will refuse to persist cookies and logging in will not work.

See also Cookies default to SameSite=Lax and Reject insecure SameSite=None cookies as well as this ticket, and this twitter thread on why OctoPrint cannot solve this on its own/ship with https that doesn’t cause scary warnings in your browser.

Slicing 

Settings for the built-in slicing support:

# Slicing settings
slicing:

  # Whether to enable slicing support or not
  enabled: true

  # Default slicer to use
  defaultSlicer: null

  # Default slicing profiles per slicer
  defaultProfiles:
    curalegacy: ...

System 

Use the following settings to add custom system commands to the “System” dropdown within OctoPrint’s top bar.

Commands consist of a name shown to the user, an action identifier used by the code and the actual command including any argument needed for its execution. By default OctoPrint blocks until the command has returned so that the exit code can be used to show a success or failure message; use the flag async: true for commands that don’t return.

Optionally you can add a confirmation message to display before actually executing the command (should be set to False if a confirmation dialog is not desired).

The following example defines a command for shutting down the system under Linux. It assumes that the user under which OctoPrint is running is allowed to do this without password entry:

system:
  actions:
  - name: Shutdown
    action: shutdown
    command: sudo shutdown -h now
    confirm: You are about to shutdown the system.

You can also add a divider by setting action to divider like this:

system:
  actions:
  - action: divider

Temperature 

Use the following settings to configure temperature profiles which will be displayed in the temperature tab:

temperature:
  profiles:
  - name: ABS
    extruder: 210
    bed: 100
  - name: PLA
    extruder: 180
    bed: 60

Terminal Filters 

Use the following settings to define a set of terminal filters to display in the terminal tab for filtering certain lines from the display terminal log.

Use Javascript regular expressions:

# A list of filters to display in the terminal tab. Defaults to the filters shown below
terminalFilters:
- name: Suppress temperature messages
  regex: '(Send: (N\d+\s+)?M105)|(Recv:\s+(ok\s+([PBN]\d+\s+)*)?([BCLPR]|T\d*):-?\d+)'
- name: Suppress SD status messages
  regex: '(Send: (N\d+\s+)?M27)|(Recv: SD printing byte)|(Recv: Not SD printing)'
- name: Suppress wait responses
  regex: 'Recv: wait'
- name: Suppress processing responses
  regex: 'Recv: (echo:\s*)?busy:\s*processing'

Webcam 

Use the following settings to configure webcam support:

webcam:
  # Use this option to enable display of a webcam stream in the UI, e.g. via MJPG-Streamer.
  # Webcam support will be disabled if not set
  stream: http://<stream host>:<stream port>/?action=stream

  # Use this option to enable timelapse support via snapshot, e.g. via MJPG-Streamer.
  # Timelapse support will be disabled if not set
  snapshot: http://<stream host>:<stream port>/?action=snapshot

  # Path to ffmpeg binary to use for creating timelapse recordings.
  # Timelapse support will be disabled if not set
  ffmpeg: /path/to/ffmpeg

  # Number of how many threads to instruct ffmpeg to use for encoding. Defaults to 1.
  # Should be left at 1 for RPi1.
  ffmpegThreads: 1

  # Videocodec to be used for encoding. Defaults to mpeg2video.
  ffmpegVideoCodec: mpeg2video

  # The bitrate to use for rendering the timelapse video. This gets directly passed to ffmpeg.
  bitrate: 5000k

  # Whether to include a "created with OctoPrint" watermark in the generated timelapse movies
  watermark: true

  # Whether to flip the webcam horizontally
  flipH: false

  # Whether to flip the webcam vertically
  flipV: false

  # Whether to rotate the webcam 90° counter clockwise
  rotate90: false

  # The default timelapse settings.
  timelapse:

    # The timelapse type. Can be either "off", "zchange" or "timed". Defaults to "off"
    type: timed

    # The framerate at which to render the movie
    fps: 25

    # The number of seconds in the rendered video to add after a finished print. The exact way how the
    # additional images will be recorded depends on timelapse type. Timed timelapses continue to
    # record just like at the beginning, so the recording will continue another
    # fps * postRoll * interval seconds. Zchange timelapses will take one final picture and add it fps * postRoll
    postRoll: 0

    # Additional options depending on the timelapse type. All timelapses take a postRoll and an fps setting.
    options:

      # Timed timelapses only: The interval which to leave between images in seconds
      interval: 2

      # Timed timelapses only: Whether to capture the snapshots for the post roll (true) or just copy
      # the last captured snapshot from the print over and over again (false)
      capturePostRoll: true

      # ZChange timelapses only: Z-hop height during retractions to ignore for capturing snapshots
      retractionZHop: 0.0

  # After how many days unrendered timelapses will be deleted
  cleanTmpAfterDays: 7
