                OctoPi to Read-only
              
          
    OctoPi to Read-only

These steps will provide a read-only OctoPi installation while still having a read/write home directory. In other words, as long as you don't have to update system files, this installation will be fully functional.

Install OctoPi on a 8GB (or more) SD card and boot it at least once.
Mount it with a Linux machine (e.g. Ubuntu).
Use sudo gparted and configure the remaining space as EXT4.
There are now three partitions. Mount the last two.
Move /home/pi to the new and empty partition.
Edit /etc/fstab:

                Use Octoprint on Arch Linux ARM with read-only file system for Raspberry Pi
              
          
    I wanted Octoprint (a 3D-printer management software) to start up fast without the bloatness of using Raspbian. I also regularly forgot to shutdown the Raspberry Pi hosting Octoprint properly leading to file system corruption and unbootable SD card.
This set of instructions should provide all that is needed to use Octoprint without fear of improper shutdown with Arch Linux ARM by using a read-only file system.
This instructions does not have the webcam setup as I didn't intend to use it. If you wish to use the webcam, please consult and try to port the official Raspbian FAQ.
##Instructions

Convert the Arch Linux ARM file system to read-only. Please follow the instructions from my previous gist. The following instructions assume you are logged into with the root account.
