Just published v0.6.0 which includes these additions.
- UI: /config route to make live config changes
- UI: /files route to view currently trained images
- API: process Frigate snapshot MQTT messages (#18)
- API: support for CompreFace plugins (#47)
Hi, may I ask a stupid question:-).
I read you github multiple times and see what you have done. But although it looks very promising and handy I do not know where to start with installation. Is that something you can give some guidance for?
Hey @sender, I can help you with any installation issues you have. Do you have Docker installed on your machine? If so, I’d go with a docker-compose.yml file and put this in it.
version: "3.7"
services:
double-take:
container_name: double-take
image: jakowenko/double-take
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- ${PWD}/config.yml:/double-take/config.yml
- ${PWD}/.storage:/.storage
ports:
- 3000:3000
From here, create a config.yml file in the same directory and setup the configuration similar to this.
If you want to keep it basic and use the defaults you can do something like this. If you’re using a different detector then replace compreface with one of the other supported detectors.
mqtt:
host: 192.168.1.1
home_assistant:
url: http://192.168.1.1:8123
token: xxx.xxx-xxx
frigate:
url: http://192.168.1.1:5000
detectors:
compreface:
url: http://192.168.1.1:8000
key: xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx
Once you’ve done that you should be able to go to localhost:3000 and view the UI.
Think I am stuck here:
Yes, docker is installed
Then you should be able to follow my post to get it running. I think before you had issues with docker compose.
Yes done that but how do I fire up that container via docker compose?
Soory, I need some help…
root@dockerhost ~/doubletake# ls
Dockerfile app.py docker-compose.yml requirements.txt
root@dockerhost ~/doubletake# docker-compose up -d
-bash: /usr/local/bin/docker-compose: Permission denied
root@dockerhost ~/doubletake#
found this:
chmod +rwx /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
now downloading
got it running:
root@dockerhost ~/doubletake# docker ps

Looks like you have it bound on port 3333 based off your previous message.
Yes! I must have copy pasted that…
Will proceed from here…
Wait for the next question

Ok, here’s the first questions.
- I had filled my config via url/#/config, but then I decided to redeploy the container to port 3000 instead of 3333. Now I see in portainer my mqtt and homeassistant settings are still there (saved), but when going to the url/#/config it shows only # Double Take\n\n\n
Where is my settingsfile gone? - I have installed CompreFace on the same host (docker). I get the interface (before on 3333). But how do i get a face to compare against and where/what? Hope my question is clear…
@sender are you on Discord? Feel free to message me on there and I can help you out. My handle is Jako#0593
hi jako - i sent you an invite on disc as well - want to check up on something with you as well - it is working smoothly but i would like your short advice on the balance in settings / could use some guidance in that. Esp → resolution/# retries/settings… hope you wont mind

Good day David, first thank you for producing and sharing this component. Makes managing deepstack much easier and reliable.
I’ve set it up and all works very well. Below automation via HA notifies matched and unmatched faces.
- id: notify_person_double-take
alias: Notify person double-take
initial_state: true
mode: single
trigger:
- platform: mqtt
topic: double-take/matches/#
condition: []
action:
- choose:
- conditions: '{{trigger.topic == "double-take/matches/unknown"}}'
sequence:
- service: notify.juan_gotify_frigate
data:
title: "{{trigger.payload_json['camera']|title}} camera"
message: >
{{trigger.payload_json['unknown']['name']}} detected
default:
- service: notify.juan_gotify_frigate
data:
title: "{{trigger.payload_json['camera']|title}} camera"
message: >
{{trigger.payload_json['match']['name']|title}} detected with confidence {{trigger.payload_json['match']['confidence']}}%
I have a ‘related’ question where you may be able to offer some guidance.
If you wanted Gotify to notify directly (skip HA) how would you approach it? I can make a scipt with curl commands and get the notification, but I was looking for double-take to push to gotify .
Moreover, how do you publish a jpg on https so it can be added to a notification whilst outside your lan?
I can proxy double-take via nginx, but it’s fully closed or fully open.
Appreciate this is beyond the intention of this thread, so any guidance is welcome.
Thank you

Has anyone been able to get this working on Unraid? I’m having issues with the “volumes” section
I have it in unraid. I use docker compose. this is my compose
doubletake:
container_name: doubletake
image: jakowenko/double-take
restart: unless-stopped
hostname: UNRAID
volumes:
- /mnt/cache/appdata/cctv/doubletake/config/config.yml:/double-take/config.yml
- /mnt/cache/appdata/cctv/doubletake/storage:/.storage
ports:
- 3020:3000

Hey @juan11perez. Glad to hear you are finding double take useful and thank you for the compliments.
For your Gotify question…would it help if I added support to POST results to an HTTP endpoint? Similar to how the MQTT publishing works, when a match/unknown person is found, I could POST the payload to a configurable HTTP endpoint along with the image data.
@Jako
Thank you for your help.
I think that would work for gotify.
On being able to send jpgs outside the network, can the matches folder be modified to work like the www/local folder in HA? I.e. it’s accessible always.
