Recommendations sought on best latop distro for hosting klipper

General Discussion

The “standard philosophy” of Klipper is:

  • One SBC (Single Board Computer) running the Klipper host and Moonraker.
  • A separate client device accesses the web interface and handles most of its load.

Deviations from this setup are possible and can work, but they might lead to bottlenecks or unexpected effects.

See Klipper Architecture / Ecosystem for how the individual components interact. You will need multiple instances of:

  • The Klipper host application.
  • Moonraker.

Each instance requires individual connection endpoints, meaning Unix Domain Sockets between the respective Klipper instance and its Moonraker instance. One web interface can manage multiple printers, but if accessed on the same device, the load will also burden that device.

KIAUH greatly facilitates the setup.
