Everything Bambuddy does, in a box that is already set up. Plug it in, open your browser, add your printers.
A Raspberry Pi 5 that arrives with Bambuddy already installed. No Docker to learn, no compose file to edit, no cloud account to create. Your prints, your data, your network.
Plug in ethernet, or join the appliance's own WiFi network. A five-step wizard opens in your browser. No screen, no keyboard.
A new Bambuddy version is pulled, started, and health-checked. If it doesn't come up, the appliance puts the old one back on its own.
Temperature, power flags, disk, logs, updates and network — on a separate port, so you can still fix the box when Bambuddy itself is down.
Sign in to Tailscale from the panel and reach the appliance and its virtual printers remotely. No router ports opened, no cloud in the middle.
Hold it for ten seconds and you are back at a fresh setup wizard. The recovery path that works when nothing else does.
Sold through authorised resellers, with a support path that isn't a GitHub issue and a hope.
The appliance runs the ordinary, open-source, AGPL-licensed Bambuddy — the same container you would install yourself. There are no exclusive features, no locked functionality, and no subscription.
What you are buying is the box around it: the hardware, the first-boot experience, the admin panel, the upgrade safety net, and someone to call. If you would rather build it yourself, the installation guide has everything you need, and always will.
With an Active Cooler, because a throttled Pi is a slow Pi.
The right one. Undervoltage is the most common cause of a mysteriously unreliable Pi.
Bambuddy is baked in, so the first boot doesn't wait on a download.
Recessed, so you cannot lean on it by accident.
Four things, once on first boot and then about once a day: a random identifier it generates for itself, which reseller batch it came from, its hardware model, and its image version.
No printer data. No print history. No user accounts. No credentials. Nothing about what you print, when, or with what. This is how a unit is identified for warranty and offered updates — and if it never reaches us, the appliance works exactly the same. An appliance you build yourself from the image contacts nothing at all. Read the details.
The appliance is not sold directly. If you would like to stock it, or want to know who does, get in touch.
