How to Install Frigate on Clear Linux Latest

Frigate is a smart camera solution that uses object detection and machine learning to identify and track objects in real-time video streams. It is compatible with a variety of cameras and can be installed on a variety of operating systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing frigate on Clear Linux Latest using the command-line interface.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:

Step 1: Update the Clear Linux Latest System

To ensure that we have the latest packages and dependencies, it is necessary to first update the Clear Linux system. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo swupd update

Step 2: Install Docker

Frigate is a Docker-based solution, so it is necessary to install Docker on the Clear Linux system. Run the following command to install Docker:

sudo swupd bundle-add containers-basic

Step 3: Install frigate

To install frigate, we will use a Docker image from the frigate repository. Run the following command:

docker run -d \
--name frigate \
--restart unless-stopped \
-p 5000:5000 \
-v frigate_data:/config \
-v /dev/shm:/dev/shm \
-v /run/udev:/run/udev:ro \
--device /dev/bus/usb \
--privileged \
blakeblackshear/frigate:latest

This will download and run the latest version of the frigate Docker image. The above command will map port 5000, so you can access the frigate UI by visiting http://localhost:5000 on your browser.

Step 4: View the Frigate UI

With frigate running in the Docker container, you can now view the UI by visiting http://localhost:5000 in your browser.

You will need to configure the cameras and settings in the UI to start using frigate for object detection and tracking.
