Hi,

I have in my unraid HA, Mqtt and Frigate running. And all work fine. I get the topic frigate/ in mqtt and I can manually add stuff from frigate via mqtt in HA, i.e.:

 # Frigate
  - unique_id: frigate_front_door_pd
    name: "Frigate front door Person Detected"
    topic: "frigate/front_door/person/snapshot" 

 

But I cannot figure out how to autmatically discover the frigate stuff in HA. I know I should install the frigate Integration but I don't know how. Please could someone help me figure this out? In Integrations it doesn't show.

 

You should use HACS to install it. https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate-hass-integration

 

[dopeytree]

wget -O - https://get.hacs.xyz | bash -

 

Click on home assistants docker then click console & paste in the above.

 

Then restart home assistant.

[ppaul]

oh yes I did. But then in the Fritage integration there is no way to configure anything

[ppaul]

oh I shoul learn to read up to the end. After Installing with HACS I need install it via the normal Integrations Installer. It works like a charm. Thanks for the fast help

Hi does anyone know if Frigate creates a share automatically at /mnt/user/frigate?

 

I don't have this media folder configured anywhere but it seems to require it for startup.

Tried renaming/removing but it doesnt start.

No. There are 2 folders that need to be bind to the unraid host and these are the corresponding suggested binding points that are presented as default in the template:

 

Frigate -> Unraid

/config -> /mnt/user/appdata/frigate

/media/frigate -> /mnt/user/Media/frigate

 

If you want to use another binding folders you should create it/them before using it.

So I have trying to set up this frigate container for some time now and it took me a while to figure out that it apparently keeps restarting within several seconds. (I thought i had a faulty config.yml because i just got the spinning wheel on the web ui and tried to mess around with it)

 

This is the error i get:

I am trying to get started with the Tensorrt-models docker container and have set it up as below with the script,

have did the "chmod +x /mnt/user/appdata/trt-models/tensorrt_models.sh" and when running the container I get the error below:

 

/opt/nvidia/nvidia_entrypoint.sh: /tensorrt_models.sh: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
/opt/nvidia/nvidia_entrypoint.sh: line 49: /tensorrt_models.sh: Success

 

 

any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Do you have the /mnt/user/appdata/trt-models folder mapped already to frigate and frigate running? If yes, please stop frigate, run this container and then restar frigate.

Yes its mapped to frigate, I've stopped the frigate container and started the Tensorrt-models docker and it the same error that pops up. Is there something else I am missing?

Maybe you have to download the sh again or try another path. Anyway, don't waste too much time on this, the next frigate versión witch will be released very soon will have the tensor model integrated inside the container, so what you are doing will be in vain. I suggest you to wait some weeks and use this feature in the frigate v13.

Hello,
i was searching a while but didn't find the answer for my question...

I have a multi gpu setup. And wan't frigate to use the second gpu.

but it always uses the first one.

i have fount the part in the documentation but i don't know how to get this in unraid to work...

 

https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/hardware_acceleration/#docker-compose---nvidia-gpu

 

can someone point me in the right direction, to get this working?

 

edit:

 

of course i have set up all other setting in the docker section and the nvidia-plugin running...

 

This is the id of the second gpu...

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Chris

No idea, please ask on github as it looks a develop error, I can't help you, you are doing it in the right way.

Trying to install that tensort model.  Reading the instructions it says to place the tensorrt_models.sh script inside the /appdata/tensort directory.

 

Disregard.  Just saw yayitazale's post about the next version of Frigate coming out.

Why if I use my camera's substream to detect, and set the

 

detect:

  width: 640

  height: 480

  fps: 10

 

Frigate dashboard only displays that feed?  Even though I have the 2k Resolution set up for “record” and the sub stream for detect, Frigate is only displaying the sub in live view.  (or, I'm assuming it's the sub because of it's squished down view)

 

If I change the above code to, for instance, 720p then my thumbnail of the video feeds and the video feed itself doesn't look as “squishy” as the 640x480. 

 

I thought perhaps I had gotten my sub and main streams reversed, but I have checked and re-checked them and they are correct. 

 

If my substream is only 640x480 but I set it to 720p just to get a clearer live view, am I now not upscaling my detect stream, using more resources than I need to be?

Did you set up the corresponding input path and roles on each camera?

 

https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/cameras#setting-up-camera-inputs

 

If you want to use two different stream inputs one for detection and one for recording you should have something like the example of the link, with one role per stream path.

 

PD: the stream feed of the frontend is indeed the one of the detect role. If you have the chance to use a hwaccel card I suggest you to use the restreaming ability to create a internal feed of the main high res stream and use it for both record and detect, you shouldn't see a big difference of CPU usage.

Yes Sir, I believe I set it up properly – unless of course, like usual, I screwed something up.  This is a lot to take in and one wrong indent along the way and POOF everything crashes. lol.

Sorry.  Absolutely nothing you just said made any sense to me.

 

I'm waiting for the next version of Frigate, like you mentioned, that will have the NVIDIA detection stuff "built in".  I can only guess that's what you meant by hwaccel card?  I gave up on the TesnoRT stuff once I read your comment about that. 

 

I've offered cold-hard-Paypal funds to many people on many Frigate forums to just code my YML for me since I've been working on this for almost a year now and simply can't figure it out.  No one has taken me up on my offer.  So, I just keep plugging away at this in an act of frustration.

 

Thanks anyway.  I will continue to just lurk here and read and not post anything because I don't have the basic knowledge to even understand your reply. lol

[dopeytree]

10fps is quite high for detection. Frigate recommends 5fps. My cameras go up in 2s so 2,4,6,8,10 etc. have found 4fps works just as well with less cpu strain. 

See how you go with it.

 

If you need more personalised help try creating an issue on the GitHub for frigate here and one of the devs will help.

Would anyone be willing to help me get notifications working?  I have Frigate installed (ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable-tensorrt),  Home Assistant (lscr.io/linuxserver/homeassistant) installed with Frigate Integration and Blueprint, and Mosquitto (eclipse-mosquitto:2) installed.  I cannot figure out how to get notifications working.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I took your advice and dropped it down to 4ps.  I didn't see any noticeable difference either.  Thank you for that suggestion.

Hi all,

 

Having trouble getting Frigate running on docker in unRAID.

When I log in into the web UI, all I get is the frigate logo in the top left and a spinning blue icon in the middle. It never loads. 

I assume the appdata config/frigate directory should not be empty? The 'frigate' folder is created but there is nothing inside it. I get permission errors when trying to create folders/files while the docker image is running.

I can't see the logs as the log window auto closes after like half a second. I have had no issues with any of my other containers.

I've deleted the docker image and manually created the frigate folder, and created the subfolder and frigate.yaml file (with some default code), but the same issue occurs.

 

Any ideas or am I missing something obvious?

[renk1]

Is it possible to run a newer version of go2rtc? The bundled version is 1.2.0 and only versions above 1.5.0 are needed to setup 2 way audio in home assistant
