Hi all,
Now this is fun.
I have a zero tier network with the following goal…
- my local machine hosting a physical printer
- my remote server listening to a webhook
- when remote server picks up webhook signal, it processes data on the remote server and sends print job to my local printer.
What I have working…
- zerotier setup on both machines
- printer setup with CUPS on both machines
- can print from remote server to local machine’s printer via CUPS interface / test print
- webhook listener is written and recieving webhooks and processing data
It’s all done, except this one step
The webhook listener on my remote server is written in Flask / Python and running in a Docker container. So it works perfectly, however… how can I get the Docker container to access the xerotier network, so it can see the ‘local’ printer and print?
This is one step I didn’t consider when choosing docker and wonder if I have to can Docker altogether. I’m truly hoping I don’t have to.
Is anyone skilled in this here?
Thank you
