Frigate: Installation — by Frigate documentation

advancedpageLink only (©)

Install guide for the Frigate NVR, which runs as a Docker container and works best on a bare-metal Debian-based host. It covers storage paths, ports, a shared-memory size that is too small by default (Docker's 64 MB), and warns that LXC is not officially supported and that port 5000 is unauthenticated, so reverse proxies should use 8971.

Quick steps

Install Docker on a Debian-based host and prepare any accelerator drivers
Calculate shm-size and choose paths for /config and /media/frigate
Build the docker-compose.yml, start it and open the UI on port 8971
Edit the config to add cameras and detectors

Advice on configuring cameras for Frigate: prefer H.264 video with AAC audio, use a low-resolution sub stream for detection and a high-resolution main stream for recording, keep the same aspect ratio on both, and set frame rates in the camera rather than in Frigate.
