Regarding Octoprint details I can't help much since I never ever install it. Have no idea what kind of troubles you can expect. But I saw few install howtos or mentioning of success install on top of Armbian ... which is, if you take Debian Jessie version, not much / almost no different than Raspbian. The biggest / main difference is lower level, hardware support, which is mostly in kernel and other RPi dedicated libraries. I would say unrelated to this install.
Since this software looks hardware independent, it should be no problem to install it on Armbian. And when you succeed, the best thing is that you sum commands into one script, that you can recreate build at any time and that you can share your success story / how-to install Octoprint with others.
