[Config Support]: Frigate looks for wrong camera IP address

[threehappypenguins]

Describe the problem you are having

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a misconfiguration, but Frigate won't "accept" what I tell it my camera's IP address is. It's always 10.0.10.10, indicating the default. As if my config is not being accepted. I am brand new to Frigate.

I have also tried the following config (besides the config I provided):

mqtt:
  enabled: False

cameras:
  reolink_doorbell:
    enabled: False
    ffmpeg:
      inputs:
        - path: rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/
          roles:
            - detect

Same result.

Version

0.14.1-f4f3cfa

Frigate config file

mqtt:
  enabled: False

go2rtc:
  streams:
    reolink_doorbell:
      - "ffmpeg:http://192.168.1.12/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_main.bcs&user=admin&password=redacted#video=copy#audio=copy#audio=opus"
      - rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/
    reolink_doorbell_sub:
      - "ffmpeg:http://192.168.1.12/flv?port=1935&app=bcs&stream=channel0_ext.bcs&user=admin&password=redacted"

What is your docker compose?

You should follow the official Getting Started Guide in the documentation.

Oh ya. Sorry. I meant to also share that:

version: "3.9"
services:
  frigate:
    container_name: frigate
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-088953ed-6887-487c-bd44-d5f86dc93383/AppData/Frigate/config.yml:/config.yml
      - /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-71573736-9a4f-4583-abe4-dd40850b8cfe/data/Frigate:/media/frigate
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
      - "1935:1935"
      - "554:554"
    environment:
      FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD: "redacted"

Also, docker exec -it frigate cat /config.yml does indeed display my config.

You should follow the guide. You need to map in the entire config directory, not just the file.

[threehappypenguins]

Well, that's now resolved. Serves me right for following a YouTube video that said to specify the config yml file. lol

The official docs will always have the most up-to-date info! Glad you got it sorted.
