frigate-synology-dsm7

This provides a Dockerfile (with context) as well as a docker-compose.yml file to build a frigate docker image that supports using a Google Coral USB TPU. It is based on the official upstream frigate image but recompiles libusb1 without udev support.

Usage on the NAS with docker-compose but without git

1. SSH into the NAS.

2. Download the compose file:

   wget "https://github.com/weltenwort/frigate-synology-dsm7/raw/main/docker-compose.yml"

3. Create environment file secrets.env to inject secrets:

   cat <<EOF >secrets.env
   FRIGATE_MQTT_USERNAME=my-frigate-mqtt-username
   FRIGATE_MQTT_PASSWORD=my-frigate-mqtt-password
   FRIGATE_CAMERA_1_RTSP_CREDENTIALS=my-camera-1-username:my-camera-1-password
   FRIGATE_CAMERA_2_RTSP_CREDENTIALS=my-camera-2-username:my-camera-2-password
   EOF

4. Create the volume directories (adjust paths if you changed them in the compose file):

   mkdir -p /volume1/docker/volumes/frigate-0-config
   mkdir -p /volume1/docker/volumes/frigate-0-media

5. Edit the docker-compose.yml file and configure frigate with a config file at /volume1/docker/volumes/frigate-0-config/config.yml using the env variables. Adjust paths and env vars to match your choices above.

6. Start the container:

   sudo docker-compose up --detach --force-create
