Config file for NAS

[tshevlin]

Very stupid question I'm sure, but I can't seem to find the answer.

I am using the Frigate add-on in HA and have mounted my new NAS.

What do I specifically put in the config file for recordings to drop to the correct folder/NAS?

So I’ve been doing that but it’s not working. Still storing the recordings in my server’s SSD.

I think I’m doing the “database:
path: /config/frigate.db” piece wrong. I put that line in my frigate.yaml file but I’m I supposed to be doing something else or beyond that? Sorry; all new to me

Are you sure it's not recording on the NAS? The folder will still show up on the media folder but it is a mirror and the files are not stored on the SSD

100%. Nothing is going into the nas and the server SSD slowly gets bigger

[NickM-27]

can you show an example of this?

[tshevlin]

See attached of my server filling up (also NAS is included).

My steps are:

• turn off Frigate add on
• delete frigate folder in 'media' via samba
• add NAS and title it frigate
• restart HA
• start Frigate add-on

Please note: when I go to my 'media' folder in HA, there's the Frigate folder with the Frigate logo where my recordings are being saved on my SSD and then there's a folder named "my media" where my NAS Frigate folder is going. Not sure if that's the issue

here's my NAS settings (if this is what you're asking):

Please note: when I go to my 'media sources' in HA, there's the Frigate folder with the Frigate logo where my recordings are being saved on my SSD and then there's a folder named "my media" where my NAS Frigate folder is going. Not sure if that's the issue

you should try frigate not Frigate

[tshevlin]

Gotcha, I'll give that a shot when I get home. Thanks!!

That seems to have done the trick; I'm an idiot. Thanks so much!

Glad it's working 👍
