logs from frigate proxy

Richfa · January 10, 2023, 10:38am

tried it on the config file but that don’t want to load up? is it meant too?

Richfa · January 10, 2023, 10:45am

am I supposed to use this somewhere?

database:
path: /db/frigate.db

Richfa · January 10, 2023, 10:47am

what’s this meant to mean?

When running Home Assistant with the Supervised install method, you can get the benefit of running the Addon along with the ability to customize the storage used by Frigate.

In order to customize the storage location for Frigate, simply use fstab to mount the drive you want at /usr/share/hassio/media. Here is an example fstab entry:

UUID=1a65fec6-c25f-404a-b3d2-1f2fcf6095c8 /media/data ext4 defaults 0 0

/media/data/homeassistant/media /usr/share/hassio/media none bind 0 0

by the looks of this I no longer need a frigate.yml in home assistant?

Navigate to Supervisor > Add-on Store > Repositories
Add GitHub - blakeblackshear/frigate-hass-addons: Frigate hass.io addons
Install your desired Frigate NVR Addon and navigate to it’s page
Setup your network configuration in the Configuration tab
(not for proxy addon) Create the file frigate.yml in your config directory with your detailed Frigate configuration
Start the addon container
(not for proxy addon) If you are using hardware acceleration for ffmpeg, you may need to disable “Protection mode”

as from last experiences the home assistant crowd would rather put someone down for lack of knowledge rather then point them in the right direction.
I have just copied and pasted my code and yaml likes it so I don’t what wrong with it for you?

I found this guide that takes time to get things done thank you for you help

Please … don’t share images of text

If you can’t work out how to use code markup then use a code share site like https://dpaste.org/ instead.

One last time… use code markup

The problem is that you’re not paying any attention to what we ask, making it impossible to help you.

YAML is all about how things are indented, when you just drop it into the text here we can’t tell that
this:
yaml: here
is actually

this:
  yaml: here

For posting code in the forum @Tinkerer pointed to the right direction in his first post in this thread. I’ll point to it again. How to help us help you - or How to ask a good question

Now responding to this, Home assistant yellow and docker compose frigate - #21 by Richfa, it looks like frigate.local is not resolving. Try the pi’s ip addess in the config of the frigate proxy addon.

Thank you, going to start a fresh build tonight, I still have much more to learn then I originally thought.
Even now I will have to put information into this from several different sources to try and get this working
I will start by getting docker and docker compose running fresh, then take it step by step using

https://hub.docker.com/_/eclipse-mosquitto
and use this to get the broker working as it seems to work better at the start

Richfa · January 16, 2023, 11:59am

Still struggling with getting frigate in docker to work by itself, I am going to try a workaround as I know I can get it working as a add on in HA
My workaround is to try installing the full version of HA in docker with the config file for frigate either the mqtt in config in docker HA pointing to my main instance of Ha
Do you think this will work in may be easier and more what I am used to hopefully

Not sure if you already solved this by yourself, but otherwise the following YT video maybe helps you:

Or the following blog post:

Richfa · March 5, 2023, 7:23pm

thank you i managed to figure it out in the end

computergreek · April 25, 2023, 3:13am

how? what’d you do differently

Richfa · May 27, 2023, 8:01am

sorry for delay, i had it working on my pi by making directory’s on it by using the mkdir command example mkdir frigate, cd frigate, mkdir media, cd media, mkdir storage, exit
then start again making the next volume cd frigate, mkdir config, touch config.yml, nano config.yml
then add the config in there save and close. exit
cd frigate, nano docker-compose.yml, then add your compose file with the 2 above volumes created, save and exit docker-compose up -d
this worked for my pi4 but I have upgraded to a intel nuc as my pi never had enough CPU power now this method doesn’t seem to work unless its due to breaking changes in the frigate install I am not sure. i read that later versions can be used but I haven’t found any links to these files yet to try
