+# You only need the following if your plugin requires specific OctoPrint versions or
+# specific operating systems to function - you can safely remove the whole
+# "compatibility" block if this is not the case.
+
+compatibility:
+
+  # List of compatible versions
+  #
+  # A single version number will be interpretated as a minimum version requirement,
+  # e.g. "1.3.1" will show the plugin as compatible to OctoPrint versions 1.3.1 and up.
+  # More sophisticated version requirements can be modelled too by using PEP440
+  # compatible version specifiers.
+  #
+  # You can also remove the whole "octoprint" block. Removing it will default to all
+  # OctoPrint versions being supported.
+
+  octoprint:
+  - 1.10.0
+
+  # List of compatible operating systems
+  #
+  # Possible values:
+  #
+  # - windows
+  # - linux
+  # - macos
+  # - freebsd
+  #
+  # There are also two OS groups defined that get expanded on usage:
+  #
+  # - posix: linux, macos and freebsd
+  # - nix: linux and freebsd
+  #
+  # You can also remove the whole "os" block. Removing it will default to all
+  # operating systems being supported.
+
+  os:
+  - linux
+  #- windows
+  #- macos
+  #- freebsd
+
+  # Compatible Python version
+  #
+  # Plugins should aim for compatibility for Python 2 and 3 for now, in which case the value should be ">=2.7,<4".
+  #
+  # Plugins that only wish to support Python 3 should set it to ">=3,<4".
+  #
+  # If your plugin only supports Python 2 it will no longer be accepted on the plugin repository.
+  #
+  # Uncomment the appropriate setting
+
+  #python: ">=2.7,<3" # Python 2 & 3
+  python: ">=3,<4" # Python 3 only
+
+# TODO
+# If any of the below attributes apply to your project, uncomment the corresponding lines. This is MANDATORY!
+
+#attributes:
+#  - cloud  # if your plugin requires access to a cloud to function
+#  - commercial  # if your plugin has a commercial aspect to it
+#  - free-tier  # if your plugin has a free tier

+
+When the printer is disconnected, this plugin will try to reconnect the printer on a configurable interval
+
+Comes in handy when running octoprint in an lxc, and the port device is available even if the printer is not connected.
+
+Should also work to solve the issue with Prusa printers that don't remove the serial port from the system when powering down
+
+Caveats: only tested on OctoPrint 1.10.4, python 3 and on linux
