Setup Guides
To get started, you first have to decide which route you want to follow for the installation. There are several ways to install Mainsail on a Raspberry Pi.
- MainsailOS recommended
A prebuilt image for your Raspberry Pi. Flash it and you are almost ready to go. - KIAUH - Klipper Installation And Update Helper
A script toolbox to install and keep Klipper, Moonraker and Mainsail up to date. It contains many additional features and is the way to go for multiprinter setups. - Manual Setup
The rocky road. If you want to know how everything is set up by hand, you will get all the information here.
my.mainsail.xyz
In addition to these guides, there is my.mainsail.xyz{: target="_blank"}. The latest Mainsail version is always hosted there. This obviates the need to set up a web server for Mainsail on your hardware.
To use my.mainsail.xyz{: target="_blank"}, the following requirements must be met:
- Klipper must be installed.
- Moonraker must be installed.
- my.mainsail.xyz must be configured as a CORS domain in moonraker.conf.
MainsailOS & KIAUH already fulfill these requirements.
Note, only the static .html, .js and .css files are loaded into your browser storage. No further information is transferred to the server. The communication to your printer is then done locally directly between your browser and your Moonraker installation.
If you have any concerns, you can of course still install Mainsail on your hardware locally. Parallel operation is also possible.
