Verifying Docker install

[meierthomas]

I used the Docker install on a Pine64 running DietPI using the docker compose option. I created the file docker-compose.yml from the template provided and ran docker-compose up -d from the same directory the docker-compose.yml is in. Everything went as expected as far as I can tell.

Next step was to setup the custom component in Home Assistant. When trying to install the Frigate integration I specify the host as http://<IP address of Pine64>:5000 and get an error Unable to connect to Frigate.

How can I verify the Docker installation and that Frigate is actually running on the Pine64?

On a related question if I need to make changes to the docker-compose file can I simply re-run the docker-compose command?

You should see the container listed when running docker ps -a. You can check the logs by running docker logs <container_name>. You should also be able to navigate to http://ip_of_pine64:5000 and view the UI.

Some updates.

I have /config/config.yml. I have the same file (i.c. config.yml) in /home/config. Then I renamed to /config/config1.yml and with the volume set to - /home/config/config.yml:/config/config.yml:ro have rebuilt the container and restarted.

Now Frigate starts up on http://:5000.

What I'd like to understand though is why did this container start up after renaming the file to config1.yml. I know this is a straight Docker question but it would be interesting to understand nevertheless.

Thanks. A lot clearer. The system is up. Txs :)

Hi

I struggle with the same error [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/config/config.yml when starting the container.

I have my config.yml in directory /config (contains just a section for mqtt and camera)
My docker-compose.yaml has these entries
volumes:
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
- /config:/config/config.yml:ro
- /media:/media/frigate
I also tried to use the CONFIG_FILE: /config variable, without success.

I do not see what I do wrong. Thank's in advance for any help.

This is what I ended up with for the container to start up

    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /home/config/config.yml:/config/config.yml:ro
      - /home/frigate:/home/frigate
      - type: tmpfs # Optional: 1GB of memory, reduces SSD/SD Card wear
        target: /tmp/cache
        tmpfs:
          size: 1000000000
