As alternative you can get a pi running octoprint to control the prusa by usb and keep the printer itself completely disconnected.

I have MK3 so PrusaLink is running on a pi already, via the onboard UART. I tried Octoprint with this setup very long ago and I had issues. The pi would be too slow to send the commands to the printer and would end up failing the prints sometimes. I haven’t revisited Octoprint since.

They are giving out a docker image now so you can host your own prusa cloud on your own network

That’s pretty cool. Definitely going to install it once it’s out of early access.
I’ve just been using the Prusa Link via HomeAssistant, which is pretty useful, but the actual Prusa Connect does have more features that’d be fun to play with.
