Quick Install:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/3d-printing/spoolman/spoolman-ubuntu.sh
chmod +x spoolman-ubuntu.sh
sudo bash spoolman-ubuntu.shTutorial Steps
1 Download the Script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/3d-printing/spoolman/spoolman-ubuntu.sh2 Make it Executable
chmod +x spoolman-ubuntu.sh3 Run the Installer
The script installs Docker if needed and starts Spoolman on port 7912, keeping its database in the ./data volume. By default it uses an embedded database, so there's nothing else to configure.
sudo bash spoolman-ubuntu.sh4 Open the Web UI and Add Your Spools
Open Spoolman in your browser, add your filament vendors, filament types, and the spools you own, then connect it to OctoPrint or Klipper:
