Configuring Ocotdash for first time cannot find Octoprint

[critter42]

What doesn't work?
I am trying to go through the first-run install and it cannot find the instance of Octoprint I want, but I can bring it up just fine in my laptop browser. It will find the other Octoprint I have on the network, but even when I shut that one down, it still will not find this one.

What did you already try?
I tried to enter it manually, but all I can do without a keyboard is long press and select cut or copy. I cannot enter any IP info. I tried looking in the issues and found reference to config.json, but I cannot locate that file on this install

General Information:

• Pi 3B v2
• Octopi (Rasbian Buster)
• OctoDash 2.1.1
• OctoPrint 1.4.0

Additional context
I just need to know if I can enter the necessary info via an SSH session rather than the interface some way.

Thanks! FYI, Your README.md needs it's "No Problem" link updated then - https://github.com/UnchartedBull/OctoDash/wiki/Installation#setup-without-keyboard is what it has instead of the link above.

the xdotool link on that page is broken or the site no longer exists. I had to use the Google cache to pull it up: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Cg2-qqm3YpMJ:https://theembeddedlab.com/tutorials/simulate-keyboard-mouse-events-xdotool-raspberry-pi/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

You can temporary plug into Pi's USB port just about any keyboard you find and it works. There must be a keyboard in your house you can use? It's really the simplest way...

Updated both links. Thanks for mentioning!
