⁠Google Cloudprint - Docker Image (Multiarch)

This image allows you to configure your printer to your Google Cloudprint easily thanks to Docker.

⁠Installation

docker run -d --privileged --restart=always -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb --name cloudprint -e CUPS_USER_ADMIN=admin -e CUPS_USER_PASSWORD=password -p 631:631 jaymoulin/google-cloudprint

You can change your admin login/password by replacing values for CUPS_USER_ADMIN and CUPS_USER_PASSWORD.

⁠Configuration

First, allow administration interface to be accessed to setup your printer:

docker exec cloudprint configure open

This will allow your printer to be configured. Go to http://your_machine_ip:631 to configure it

Login/Password couple defined with $CUPS_USER_ADMIN $CUPS_USER_PASSWORD in installation command

Once configured, close admin interface to secure it up and retrieve your Google Cloudprint URL.

docker exec -t cloudprint configure close

It will give you a Google Link. Copy/paste this URL in your browser to claim your printer, and voila!

⁠Updating

When Google Cloudprint new version is released, you will be able to update your running version with this command:

docker exec -t cloudprint configure update

⁠Keeping data

You can mount volumes when you run your container to keep your data :

• /root/ (file .cloudprintauth.json) to keep your google credentials
• /etc/cups to keep your printer configuration
