December 3, 20223 yr I've just installed this, and going to the GUI of frigate yields page cannot be found. Reading through here, the only bit of info is that I needed to create a default config.yml file in the /mnt/user/appdata/frigate directory with the following code: mqtt: host: cameras: back: ffmpeg: inputs: - path: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0&authbasic=64 roles: - detect - rtmp detect: width: 1280 height: 720 I don't have Home Assistant installed, so I've left the mqtt host blank. I suppose I've got a couple questions. One, why isn't a config.yml included in the install to get the docker up and running after install, where you edit your preferences like ZM or Shinobi? And two, is Frigate not a all in one NVR like ZM and Shinobi? Does it require HA to work and HA is the front end?

December 4, 20223 yr I think you need to read the documentation. The installation steps point out pretty clearly how to create the config.yml and what is needed in it. I am not sure what configuration options you are expecting on a FOSS project. Given the target demograph of Frigate is the HA community they would usually already be well versed in YAML. Hey, if I can get it to work, anyone can.

Hey, if I can get it to work, anyone can. I included everything the documentation indicated to start out with the yaml file in my OP. So clearly the installation needs something more than just a YAML config file to access the GUI, or something in the docker image is borked.

First of all, this is not the forum where you complain about how the project is implemented. This forum is only to resolve any question regarding the docker container deployment under unraid. Second, if you have any complain of a FOSS you are always welcome to participate on the development doing PRs on the github. You are not buying a software so please don't ask for help in the same way you will ask it to a company (don't be rude), and ALWAYS READ THE DOCS before asking for help. By the way, in this particular project the documentation very complente, with plenty of information and examples. 3 hours ago, Original_Vecna said: I included everything the documentation indicated to start out with the yaml file in my OP.

You only need a proper config file to start using the system. If you have doubts about your file, read the docs, see the logs and then if you don't see what are you doing wrong then you can come here and post a proper question indicating how is your container deployed and attaching your config file.

Thanks for clarifying. I doesn't require HA, the MQTT is required as is the way to comunicate with the system from an external software on a standar way. Anyway, this is a completely different system logic than shinobi o ZM, the idea is to use it a service from another service. It can be HA, but not only. If you wan't a complete UI like a clasical NVR this is not your software (at least yet)
December 7, 20223 yr Wondering if someone could post a working config for an nvidia gpu. I have been working at gettin frigate running over the past few days and am really happy with my config, I would just like to make use of my GPU. Here is what I have done. I added --runtime=nvidia to my extra parameters, I added a key for 'NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES' and set to 'all'. Then I added my GPU ID to another key called 'NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES' with value 'GPU-41cb87cb-9647-0b97-bd8e-2921d00c4844' I then deleted /dev/dri/renderD128 from Intel GPU/AMD mapping. This didn't start, so I put it back, it did start but doesn't use the GPU. I am sure it is something obvious I have missed but I am a little stumped and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Here is my config.yml mqtt: host: 192.168.1.205 port: 1883 detectors: coral: type: edgetpu device: usb birdseye: enabled: True mode: continuous cameras: frontdoor: ffmpeg: inputs: - path: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554//h264Preview_01_main roles: - detect - record side: ffmpeg: inputs: - path: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554//h264Preview_01_main roles: - detect - record front: ffmpeg: inputs: - path: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554//h264Preview_01_main roles: - detect - record detect: width: 2560 height: 1920 record: enabled: True retain: days: 30 mode: all events: retain: default: 30 mode: motion
December 7, 20223 yr Got it, I needed to add hwaccel_args: -c:v h264_cuvid after the ffmpeg lines for my inputs. One last question is what should I put for the /dev/dri/renderD128, should I just leave this? It seems to work..

One last question is what should I put for the /dev/dri/renderD128, should I just leave this? It seems to work.. If you going to use the Nvidia GPU with your actual configuration, you can just delete this mapping entry. If you want to switch to integrated GPU instead of your Nvidia GPU, you must change the ffmpeg hwaccel_args acording to what CPU you have following the instructions of the docs.
December 9, 20223 yr Quick Question. So I went ahead and installed HA with Mosquito, and got Frigate running on latest version of Ubuntu minimal desktop. Frigate installed, connected to HA no problems, even managed to sort out the cameras. System looks great. My only issue is with installing pycoral library. It repeatedly fails saying my version of python is too high etc. How do you get around this?

December 10, 20223 yr I want to update to frigate 0.11.0. I understand that I have to delete the existing app and recreate it with the new image. Do I lose all the old footage by doing so? Thanks

Do I lose all the old footage by doing so? Thanks If you create a new container but using the same mappings for the recors and the config folders, and you also mantain the database in the same path you will not lose anything. In case that you want to roll back from v11 to v10 you should do a database restore because this migration to v11 will modify the structure of the db, so just in case, make a copy of the database.db file.
December 19, 20223 yr Hi, I'm having problems with the Frigate Docker container. I've tried to troubleshoot as much as I can but I can't fix it. Everytime I start a fresh install it seems to work fine (detection with Coral and recording) but after a couple hours I get this storage error in the log : Errno 28 - No space left om device. I am passing a freshly formated 2 TB hard drive that is clearly not full. I also tried tweaking the tmpfs size from 1gb to 3gb for the /tmp/cache folder and it isn't working. I don't know what to do next

As you can see there is no space on the media path folder that you are mapping to /media/frigate Ok what I did tonight is just click the mount button next to the drive in unassigned devices (I am still a noob) and I've changed the access mode of the /media/frigate folder in the docker configuration to read/write slave and everything booted up correctly! Finger crossed and I'll see if everything is still ok tomorrow
December 27, 20223 yr Got my system dialed in pretty well now using the coral TPU, and I must admit, this thing is amazing. Fantastic Job. I have one issue however, and that is frigate isn't recording events reliably. I suspect it's ENTIRELY my settings that I'm currently using. On one camera, I lowered the person threshold to 0.7 from 0.8, and it started working better, but that kind of defeats the purpose of reducing false positives. My question is, all my substreams are 640x480, and I've read that is well enough for detection, but is that in fact true? Or should I be detecting at the native 1080p or 4k of the camera? This is what I have for code, which is the same for every camera. cameras: Driveway: ffmpeg: inputs: ### 1080P Mainstream ### - path: rtsp://path roles: - record ### 640x480 Substream ### - path: rtsp://path roles: - detect - rtmp detect: width: 640 height: 480 fps: 29.970030 objects: track: - person - car - dog filters: person: threshold: 0.8 min_area: 2500 max_area: 100000 snapshots: enabled: True record: enabled: True retain: days: 7 mode: motion events: retain: default: 30 mode: active_objects objects: dog: 2 rtmp: enabled: False motion: mask: - 128,79,142,82,159,72,179,63,200,51,217,45,235,36,250,30,271,27,297,29,349,28,388,21,413,25,436,29,462,32,508,44,540,56,570,70,599,83,640,105,640,0,0,0,0,138 - 640,43,640,0,428,0,429,42 Edited December 27, 20223 yr by Original_Vecna Grammar
December 29, 20223 yr My major issues are detection, not being accurate (not triggering). I literally have to be standing in front of the camera, and at night, the recording (detection) drops to near zero. Is this more an issue with poor cameras, or are my posted settings just plum wrong?

Sorry, I don't know what happened but it seems that the answer I wrote to you has not been published correctly. What I was saying: Using a higher resolution can help only in cases where the camera plane is very wide and the objects to be identified are far away and/or very small. You can read about this here: https://docs.frigate.video/guides/camera_setup#choosing-a-detect-resolution In any case, you could lower the FPS to 5 to reduce the load of Coral and your CPU/GPU when processing the incoming video. For the trigger values, when you say you have dropped from 0.7 to 0.8 it is not quite correct. That number is the confidence of the model on the identified object. You should start setting lower values (0.3 or 0.5) in the min_score and a value of 0.5 to 0.6 in threshold to see if the number of detections increases. You can track the events or watch the camera on the debugging screen and tinker with the values until you reach a point where the number of false positives is minimal and the number of detections is acceptable. https://docs.frigate.video/guides/false_positives You can accompany this tinkering steps by introducing masks, regions etc. to try to minimize false positives. As for night detection, in my case at least with IR cameras the number of detections is reduced but I get decent results, I think it all depends on the lighting, camera plane and the configuration of the values that I mention. In any case, the purpose of this forum thread is to help with the setup of the docker container on unraid, for questions purely related to the application configuration you can open a discussion or an issue on github. https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/discussions
January 7, 20233 yr Anone has tips how to run go2rtc to use webrtc along frigate 0.12b1 ? I'm struggling with that.
