[Question]: Missing previous recordings after Frigate restart

[ronniekw]

What is your question:

After restarting the Frigate Docker, all previous recordings and events disapper from Frigate GUI. Only the recordings after the restart is shown. Is that by design or is it possible to show older recordings up to the 7 day limit I have set even after a restart.

this usually indicates an error in the docker config

I can't spot any errors in docker-compose.xml

• /home/ronnie/frigate-nvr/config.yml:/config/config.yml

you are only mapping your config file meanwhile the release notes and updated installation docs state that the full folder must be mapped - /home/ronnie/frigate-nvr/:/config/
