How to mount media folder in supervised docker

Installation

My appologies. I just checked my configuration and I found I chose different strategy. Let me describe how it works.

  • I’ve mounted USB drive to /mnt/data_4TB using fstab.
  • Frigate is configured to save directly to the USB drive by volume type bind to /mnt/data_4TB/Frigate.
  • Frigate configuration is stored in Home Assistant shared/Frigate folder so it’s backuped by the HA backups: /usr/share/hassio/share/Frigate/config.yml. This location is mapped to the Frigate as volume from host Debian using again bind type volume with readonly parameter.
  • In Home Assistant I have installed Frigate NVR Proxy which is allowing to view the recordings and clips using the Media Browser in HA.

So I’m not using the soft links. I’m using bind type volume.

This is my Docker compose which I have in Portainer in Stacks:

version: "3.9"

services:
  frigate:
    container_name: frigate
    privileged: true # this may not be necessary for all setups
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: blakeblackshear/frigate:0.9.0-rc5-amd64
    shm_size: "256mb" # update for your cameras using formula: (width * height * 1.5 * 9 + 270480)/1048576 * N cameras
    devices:
    - /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb
      - /dev/dri/renderD128 # for intel hwaccel, needs to be updated for your hardware
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - source: /usr/share/hassio/share/Frigate
        target: /config
        type: bind
        read_only: true
      - source:  /mnt/data_4TB/Frigate
        target: /media/frigate
        type: bind
        read_only: false
      - type: tmpfs # Optional: 1GB of memory, reduces SSD/SD Card wear
        target: /tmp/cache
        tmpfs:
          size: 1000000000
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
      - "1935:1935" # RTMP feeds

Hope this helps :slight_smile:
