Frigate is an open-source, intelligent video surveillance software that uses object detection algorithms to detect and classify objects in live video streams. Frigate allows users to monitor their surveillance cameras effectively, with minimal false alarms. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install Frigate on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before installing Frigate, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Steps

  1. First, update your Fedora system using the command below:

    sudo dnf update -y
    
  2. Next, install the necessary dependencies for Frigate:

    sudo dnf install -y ffmpeg wget
    
  3. Download the Frigate installation script from the Frigate website using wget:

    sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/master/install.sh
    
  4. Open the install.sh file with a text editor, and make the following changes:

    • Set the FRIGATE_USER variable to a username of your choice.
    • Set the FRIGATE_PASSWORD variable to a strong password for your Frigate dashboard.
    nano install.sh
    
  5. Save and exit the install.sh file.

  6. Make the installation script executable using the command:

    sudo chmod +x install.sh
    
  7. Run the installation script:

    sudo ./install.sh
    

    This will install Frigate and its dependencies inside a Docker container.

  8. Once the installation is complete, start the Frigate container using the command:

    sudo docker start frigate
    
  9. Finally, access the Frigate dashboard by opening a web browser and entering the following URL: http://<ip_address>:5000 (replace with the IP address of your Fedora server). Login using the username and password you set in step 4.

Congratulations! You have now successfully installed Frigate on Fedora Server Latest. You can now add your surveillance cameras and start monitoring them using Frigate.
