May 27, 20251 yr Hi allI have one of my old 3D printers sitting next to my unraid setup. I would like to run Klipper but didn't have a Raspberry Pi. Been trying to do this using a Debian VM but haven't been successful yet, so I starting thinking that maybe I could create a VM using a Raspberry Pi image. Is this possible? I did a search and everything I found was a couple years old. I'm running the latest version of unraid.Thanks in advance!
May 28, 20251 yr Solution Probably technically possible but not easy and slow since that'd mean emulating the code meant for the Pi's ARM chip on x86. Also the Pi's boot sequence is weird so while the apps could be emulated a whole image probably can't be run as is.Just installing klipper on a Debian install should be easier and more straightforward.

Your suggestion is exactly what I will do.
