From fresh Ubuntu to Frigate with Home Assistant integration

[simondrake]

Went through the process of installing Frigate/Home Assistant on a fresh Ubuntu installation over the weekend.

Documented the steps in case it helps anybody - https://www.simondrake.dev/blog/frigate-and-homeassistant

Edit: Update link after blog migration.

Nice guide. Thanks for sharing. Only comment would be to set detect fps to something lower than 30. That can be lower than the camera setting without consequence and you should still see good performance with 5 fps.

You can make it full screen by clicking on it. There's an open request to have a query parameter that does this automatically

Well that serves me right for not checking before asking!

Thanks :)

FYI - the tap to make full screen doesn't work on mobile (iOS / Safari). Not sure it's that's intentional?

I believe fullscreen from that element is not something that iOS supports

Was this guide taken down?

I recently did a blog migration and the slugs changed as a result. I wasn't aware anybody was still using it, but I've edited to add the new URL which is https://www.simondrake.dev/blog/frigate-and-homeassistant.
