Klipper runs on OctoPi, a customized Linux distribution. As installed

OctoPi to do things your way. You seem to be banging your head against
a wall trying to do the latter.
klipper runs on anything armhf or better. OctoPi isn't even on the
property here. It only has one address, USB-like from the output of
/dev/serial/by-id. Not supported by every controller card maker, but if
present, that is a unique string derived from chipid which the stm
family of micro's supports. klipper is actually two parts, the
controller is reflashed, and the rest of it runs on the pi clone.
Mostly python, the housekeeping might run on wintel for all I know.
BTW my network experience goes back to bang paths. I'm currently using
both hosts files and DHCP.
I'm not surprised John, I've seen your name here and there for decades.
OT:
We had some of the bang paths at WDTV, where I was the CE from 1984 to
mid 2002. Then we bought a block of 16 addresses. We had a web page
online to dialup folks, served by am amiga, writing the code in ARexx
long before PHP came out, months before any other tv station in the
country had a web page. I wrote much of that ARexx. A do anything
language that had hooks into everything in amigados.
Bill Hawes, who wrote ARexx was stiffed by commode door, making less
than 500$ from sales of the language book he sold himself. We were
upset that a very talented coder was screwed so badly and I don't think
he ever wrote another byte for free, but he had an empty account on vger
for a long time.
One thing amigados never had was a cron, so Jim Hines and I wrote EZCron
which we published on an amigados list. Instant world wide use. Fun and
games and fond memories from 30+ years ago.

Take care and stay well John.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
