Sync existing recordings after restart

[schoen2]

Describe the problem you are having

Hi all,

i have Frigate.video running as a Helm-Chart Deployment in a Kubernetes-Cluster. After updating to the latest version, the Pod restarts as expected and comes up running again. But after that, I noticed, that I don't see any existing recording in the Web-UI.

On my machines Disk, the Recordings from the last days alive. So I can see the mp4-Files on the Disk, but not in Frigate Web-UI. The Helm-Chart uses a values.yaml with configured persistence. The Pod has bound the PVC/PV correctly (no new PVC after the Update).

Is this expected, that the records list will be left empty after an update?

thanks for clarification :)

Kind regards
Hannes

Yes, this is explained in the release notes

[schoen2]

I must have missed that. Unfortunately, I can't find the exact passage either. Can you please link it for me?

[schoen2]

exactly, but I deployed version 0.13.2.

[NickM-27]

sorry, got confused by "latest version" since 0.14 is in beta.

[schoen2]

no problem :)
so for version 0.13.2 it is not expected, that the records are not be displayed in the UI after an update?

[NickM-27]

in general no, most likely your database was lost, potentially because it is stored in /config/ by default and I believe some helm charts only keep the config file

[schoen2]

ok, thank you for clarification.

[schoen2]

FYI and thanks for your time - I made a mistake in my configuration. I fixed it and can confirm, that I can delete the frigate-Pod and the recordings still persists :)
