Frigate is an open source NVR software that can be installed on Linux operating systems for security and surveillance purposes. In this tutorial, we're going to guide you on how to install Frigate on Debian latest.
Before you begin with the installation process, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install Docker and Docker-compose on your system. Follow the commands below to install Docker and Docker-compose:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io
sudo systemctl enable --now docker
sudo apt install docker-compose
Once the installation is complete, check the version of both Docker and Docker-compose with the following commands:
sudo docker --version
sudo docker-compose --version
Next, you need to clone the Frigate repository from GitHub to your system. Use the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate.git
Once the cloning process is done, change your directory to the Frigate directory by typing the following command:
cd frigate
After cloning the Frigate repository, now set the configurations for Frigate. You can modify the configurations according to your requirements by editing the .env file using the following command:
nano .env
Make the changes to the configurations as per your requirement and save the file.
After configuring the Frigate, now run the Frigate using Docker-compose by executing the following command:
sudo docker-compose up -d
Once the command is executed, the Frigate will start running in the background. You can check the status of the Frigate using the following command:
sudo docker-compose ps
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Frigate on Debian latest. Now, you can use Frigate for your security and surveillance purposes. If you face any issues during the installation process or while using Frigate, please refer to the Frigate documentation.
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!
