OctoPod plugin blocks printing when service is down

[mkevenaar]

2025-03-16 20:49:58,180 - octoprint.plugins.octopod - WARNING - Could not send message: HTTPConnectionPool(host='octopodprint.com', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /v1/push_printer (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x9b688898>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable'))

With the plugin enabled, I currently cannot print

Is the service down for you too? I stopped getting notifications yesterday for some reason, and I've tweaked it for hours and can't get it to send me a notification.

Yes, I am unable to get notifications. But when I try to start a print, it just sits and waits until it can send that notification. I have disabled the plugin.

[macochran]

Interesting. Mine still prints just fine, but I can't get it to send any notifications at all.

Mine prints fine, but I have to wait 2 minutes before Prusa MMU Plugin prompts me to select filament in single mode. I disabled OctoPod and now it prompts immediately. No notifications from Octopod though.
I believe if you just wait 2-3 mins the print will eventually start, but that's annoying.

Thanks guys for letting me know the server went down. I just rebooted it and it's working again. Since running this server costs money, I'm using the smallest possible machine and I think we ran out of memory. If this happens again then a bigger machine will be needed which implies more $$$. AWS does not have free-tiers for open source projects. :(

Thank you so much for the update, and for continuing this service. I absolutely appreciate it.

Is there a way for us to check the status of the server in the future while we are troubleshooting ? I thought I screwed something up on my end. 😃

Thank you so much for the quick fix! I can now confirm everything works again as intended!

good idea @macochran . I will see of adding a status to the octopod settings page to make it easier to see what is going on. Will keep this ticket opened and use it for this improvement.

Thanks again, and thanks for a great plugin!
