I think I’m not mounting to the right place. There was a frigate folder under ~/media, which is accessible through the console in Portainer, but now I can see that’s not the same folder. That path shows up in the Media Browser under LocalFiles and the add-on created Frigate folder shows up beside it. Can you tell me the path I should mount to for the Frigate media folder?

Has anyone managed to get Coral.ai USB stick and Frigate working on Docker (in Synology DSM 7)?

5274

People have been able to get other USB devices to work but so far I haven’t heard of anyone getting the Coral stick to work with it.
Synology has said they have no plans to add official support to USB devices other than UPSs and storage devices.
The Synology seems to see it ok but it doesn’t get passed to the Docker container

I believe I’ve found the folder in the frigate docker. However, I cannot mount to it, it errors as read only.

Thanks!
Quick Q, how do you know if hwaccel is working? And do you need HWaccel if you have a TPU?

Anyone have this running in Portainer? It’d be very helpful to see the details of your setup. I’m a container noob.

Yes you CAN! :smiley:

Which config does this refer to, what is the default path?
- <path_to_config_file>:/config/config.yml:ro

frigate main config file

5283

@tmjpugh the one with the camera definitions?

5284

yes

EDIT
From documentation:
For HassOS installations, the default location for the config file is /config/frigate.yml.

For all other installations, the default location for the config file is /config/config.yml. This can be overridden with the CONFIG_FILE environment variable.

Thanks so much. I finally got it setup in Portainer. All is working now, mounted drive and all. Thanks for the help.

You don’t need hwaccel but it’s recommended to enable it even if you have tpu. Ffmpeg is using hwaccel to check frames and tpu is analysing for person. You can try without hwaccel and see what is the CPU usage and after that enable hwaccel and the CPU usage should be lowered.

I have discovered that browsing Frigate media recordings every night between 00:00-01:00 are empty (Media Sources → Frigate → Recordings → August 2021 → August 10 → 00:00:00 → “no items” for example).
Files are actually in place and are accessible from Local Media (Media Sources → Local Media → ftrigate → recordings → 2021-08 → 10 → 00 → Cam name → …).
Can anybody confirm this issue or is it only mine?

Question…
When using Pushover i’ve got all the notifications lined up i a list.
But when i’m using the HA notifications they just disappear when opening it and leading to nowhere. This sucks. Is this normal behavior of the HA app or am I just using it wrong?
Using Android…

If you weren’t aware there is a separate forum for the android app:
