Frigate is an open-source video surveillance software that can run on a Raspberry Pi, a PC, or a server. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation of Frigate on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to update and upgrade your system packages. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk upgrade
This will download and install the latest updates for your system.
Install Docker by running the following command:
sudo apk add docker
After Docker is installed, you can check whether it is running by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status docker
Install Docker Compose by running the following command:
sudo apk add docker-compose
To install Frigate, you'll need to create a new directory where you want to store the configuration file and videos. Run the following command to create a new directory:
mkdir ~/frigate
Next, navigate to the directory you just created by running the following command:
cd ~/frigate
Create a new file called docker-compose.yml in the ~/frigate directory by running the following command:
nano docker-compose.yml
Paste the following code into the file:
version: "3"
services:
frigate:
container_name: frigate
image: blakeblackshear/frigate:stable-amd64
privileged: true
restart: unless-stopped
network_mode: host
volumes:
- /dev/shm:/dev/shm
- ~/frigate:/config
environment:
FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD: "your_password"
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X, then Y, then Enter.
In the code above, replace "your_password" with a strong password that you'll use to access the RTSP stream. Also, note that we're using the stable-amd64 version of Frigate. If you want to use a different version, replace stable-amd64 with the version you want to use.
Finally, start the Frigate container by running the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This will download the Frigate image and start the container.
To test the Frigate installation, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:5000. You should see the Frigate web interface.
Congratulations! You've installed Frigate on Alpine Linux Latest.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Frigate on Alpine Linux Latest. Frigate is a powerful video surveillance software that can be used to monitor your home or office. With Frigate, you'll be able to detect and track objects in real-time and get notifications when something suspicious happens.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
