Not where, what. octoprint runs as a web server which you send a browser 
to localhost:5000
on the machine running it, or if remote from that machine, you can also 
use for instance,
rock64v2:5000, but you have to login to see what octoprint is doing..  
firefox has a couple
cows babout  insecure logins, but can be coerced to work,
The octoprint instance is for pi's, but in this case its actually 
running inside a named venv
on a rock64, old v2, running armbian jammy. I have two of those setup on 
my local network.

I just looked at a print I started on that machine 10 minutes ago.

The supplied by debian clients always worked, up until I lost both 2T 
seagate
drives in the same week last october, / and /amandatapes. But I always 
drove
those clients with my own build as server. Debians definition of the box 
its
supposed to run in doesn't quite match my personal view of security.

But that is a different horse entirely.

The problem i'm concerned with is the new versions use of port 5000, when
there is a running instance of octoprint someplace on ones local network.
Octoprint can be moved, I've done it, but so I expect amanda can be too,
just haven't investigated the tarball I grabbed a couple days ago. Even 
at my age,
88 in a couple weeks, I still have other irons in the fire.

Take care & stay well Stefan.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
