Frigate working - full setup

 You might think, why does that crazy guy keep writing, when nobody reads him?  I treat this as my journal, and it's the easiest way to do it.  I'm very good at forgetting things, so I need something to go back on.  For example, I was out for months with my Frigate setup, because they threw a curve-ball at me, and didn't tell anybody.

Frigate is a neat security camera program.  

I just have the one camera.  


It is replacing another one, and these are easy to install.  You run an ethernet cable into your garage, and make sure it can carry power.  Then you hook up a little Power over Ethernet box in your computer room.

This does really good night shots without the extra led lights.

Frigate is no easy bird to start running.  You get a tiny mini PC, and put on Debian Linux.  In fact, everything you run should be Linux or a Chromebook.


Like the Great Blackout, nobody talks about the real reason for all these major hacks.  I'm sure it only cost a few billion to buy out everybody in the world.

Anyway, forget about all that. You need two files that I lost during my madness.

(I can't seem to put code here)

You need one file for the Docker system, which isolates Frigate, and one file for the actual Frigate configuration.  You can follow the instructions, and good luck.

A code box here is nearly impossible.
