## 📣 Contributors Wanted — Help Shape Bambuddy

Bambuddy is a community-driven project and I'm **actively looking for contributors** — especially for two areas I can't cover alone:

- 📝 **Documentation writers** — help improve the wiki, guides, and feature docs so new users have a smooth onboarding
- ⚙️ **Discourse admin** — we already have a **Discourse** instance running but it still needs to be configured, themed, and tuned (categories, permissions, SSO, email, plugins, backups). If you know Discourse or want to dig in, I'd love your help.
- 💬 **Forum moderators** — once the forum opens, we need people to welcome newcomers, answer questions, and keep discussions healthy

You don't need to be a developer for the docs or moderator roles. If you enjoy writing, helping others, or keeping a community friendly, you're exactly who we're looking for.

**Get in touch:**
- 💬 [Discord](https://discord.gg/aFS3ZfScHM) — fastest way to chat
- 🐙 [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/discussions) — open a thread
- 📧 **martin@bambuddy.cool** — email Martin directly (no GitHub or Discord needed)

## 🌐 NEW: Remote Printing with Proxy Mode

<p align="center">
  <img src="docs/images/proxy-mode-diagram.png" alt="Proxy Mode Architecture" width="800">
</p>

**Print from anywhere in the world** — Bambuddy's new Proxy Mode acts as a secure relay between your slicer and printer:

- 🔒 **End-to-end TLS encryption** — FTP, file transfer, and camera are transparently proxied with the printer's real TLS certificate
- 🛡️ **VPN recommended** — Use Tailscale/WireGuard for full data encryption ([details](https://wiki.bambuddy.cool/features/virtual-printer/))
- 🌍 **No cloud dependency** — Direct connection through your own Bambuddy server
- 🔑 **Uses printer's access code** — No additional credentials needed
- ⚡ **Full-speed printing** — Transparent TCP proxy, only MQTT is decrypted for IP rewriting

Perfect for remote print farms, traveling makers, or accessing your home printer from work.

👉 **[Setup Guide →](https://wiki.bambuddy.cool/features/virtual-printer/#proxy-mode-new-in-017)**

---

## Why Bambuddy?

- **Own your data** — All print history stored locally, no cloud dependency
- **Works offline** — Uses Developer Mode for direct printer control via local network
- **Full automation** — Schedule prints, auto power-off, get notified when done
- **Multi-printer support** — Manage your entire print farm from one interface

---

- Configurable default print options (bed levelling, flow/vibration calibration, first layer inspection, timelapse) in Settings → Workflow
- Model-based queue assignment (send to "any X1C" for load balancing) with location filtering
- Filament override for model-based queue (swap filament colors/types before scheduling)
- Filament validation (only assign to printers with required filaments)
- Prefer lowest remaining filament (consume partial spools first when multiple match)
- Per-printer AMS mapping (individual slot configuration for print farms)
- Scheduled prints (date/time)

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Requirements
- Python 3.10+ (3.11/3.12 recommended)
- Bambu Lab printer with **Developer Mode** enabled (see below)
- **"Store sent files on external storage"** enabled in Bambu Studio/OrcaSlicer
- Same local network as printer

### Installation

#### Docker (Recommended)

**Option A: Pre-built image (fastest)**
```bash
mkdir bambuddy && cd bambuddy
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maziggy/bambuddy/main/docker-compose.yml
docker compose up -d
```

**Option B: Build from source**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy.git
cd bambuddy
docker compose up -d --build
```

Open **http://localhost:8000** in your browser.

> **Multi-architecture support:** Pre-built images are available for `linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64` (Raspberry Pi 4/5).

> **macOS/Windows users:** Docker Desktop doesn't support `network_mode: host`. Edit docker-compose.yml: comment out `network_mode: host` and uncomment the `ports:` section. Printer discovery won't work - add printers manually by IP.

> **Linux users:** If you get "permission denied" errors, either prefix commands with `sudo` (e.g., `sudo docker compose up -d`) or [add your user to the docker group](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/).

<details>
<summary><strong>Docker Configuration & Commands</strong></summary>

**Environment Variables:**

| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `TZ` | `UTC` | Your timezone (e.g., `America/New_York`, `Europe/Berlin`) |
| `PORT` | `8000` | Port BamBuddy runs on (with host networking mode) |
| `DEBUG` | `false` | Enable debug logging |
| `LOG_LEVEL` | `INFO` | Log level: `DEBUG`, `INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR` |

**Data Persistence:**

| Volume | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `bambuddy.db` | SQLite database with all your print data (not used with PostgreSQL) |
| `archive/` | Archived 3MF files and thumbnails |
| `logs/` | Application logs |

**Updating:**

```bash
# Pre-built image: just pull the latest
docker compose pull && docker compose up -d

# From source: rebuild after pulling changes
cd bambuddy && git pull && docker compose up -d --build
```

**Daily Beta Builds:**

Beta builds with the latest fixes are pushed regularly to the same beta version tag:

```bash
# Pull the current beta
docker pull ghcr.io/maziggy/bambuddy:0.2.2b1
# or from Docker Hub
docker pull maziggy/bambuddy:0.2.2b1
```

Use [Watchtower](https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/) to automatically update when new daily builds are pushed.

> **Note:** Beta builds use version tags like `0.2.2b1` — they are never tagged as `latest`. Your stable installation won't auto-update to a beta unless you explicitly pull a beta tag.

**Useful Commands:**

```bash
# View logs
docker compose logs -f

# Stop/Start
docker compose down
docker compose up -d

# Shell access
docker compose exec bambuddy /bin/bash
```

**Custom Port:**

```yaml
ports:
  - "3000:8000"  # Access on port 3000
```

**Reverse Proxy (Nginx):**

```nginx
server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    server_name bambuddy.yourdomain.com;

    ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key.pem;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_read_timeout 86400;
    }
}
```

> **Note:** WebSocket support is required for real-time printer updates.

**Network Mode Host** (required for printer discovery and camera streaming):

```yaml
services:
  bambuddy:
    build: .
    network_mode: host
```

> **Note:** Docker's default bridge networking cannot receive SSDP multicast packets for automatic printer discovery. When using `network_mode: host`, Bambuddy auto-detects your network subnet and can discover printers via subnet scanning in the Add Printer dialog.

</details>

#### Manual Installation (Linux/macOS)

```bash
# Clone and setup
git clone https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy.git
cd bambuddy
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run
uvicorn backend.app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
```

Open **http://localhost:8000** and add your printer!

> **Need detailed instructions?** See the [Installation Guide](http://wiki.bambuddy.cool/getting-started/installation/)

### Enabling Developer Mode

Developer Mode allows third-party software like Bambuddy to control your printer over the local network.

1. On printer: **Settings** → **Network** → **LAN Only Mode** → Enable
2. Enable **Developer Mode** (appears after LAN Only Mode is enabled)
3. Note the **Access Code** displayed
4. Find IP address in network settings
5. Find Serial Number in device info

> **Note:** Developer Mode disables cloud features but provides full local control. Standard LAN Mode (without Developer Mode) only allows read-only monitoring.

### Slicer Settings

In Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer, enable **"Store sent files on external storage"** so that print files (3MF) are saved to the printer's SD card. Bambuddy needs these files to extract thumbnails and 3D model previews.

1. Open **Bambu Studio** or **OrcaSlicer**
2. Go to the **Device** tab for your printer
3. In **Print Options**, enable **Store Sent Files on External Storage**
