Frigate recordings to a mounted Network storage

1

Hi.

With HA Core 2023.6 it’s possible to mount a NAS to Homeassistant.
How can I tell Frigate to store the recordings into the newly mounted network storage?

Thanks in advance

You need to update the location of the frigate database to be /config/frigate.db (and move it to that location). Then you can create a media share with the name frigate.

I changed the db location:
database:
path: /media/networkshare/frigate.db

Then when I launch frigate it stops immediately because the “frigate database is locked”.

I consider myself a newbie to frigate.
Can you walk me through the required configuration?

Is there a way to let the frigate database local and choose recordings to a network share? How can I configure it at frigate.yml ?

Warm regards.

Like I said, it needs to be in the config directory not on the share. Check the docs Advanced Options | Frigate
