Proxy Frigate features

Work with multiple Frigate hosts. Native downloading of recordings. Simple search for recordings. Based on the roles that you have defined in OIDP (OpenID provider), you can grant access to the cameras on the client in the Access section.

How it works

I created frigate-proxy server witch proxy requests frigate servers API. Proxy API at http://your-backend.com:4000/documentation

Installation

• Installing and configuring the keycloak authorization server
• Create keycloak client for frigate-proxy server. You can test them on https://www.keycloak.org/app/
• Create keycloack user for frigate-proxy server.
• Grant access to the keycloack user for viewing keycloak roles. Role named - 'view-roles'
• You can check access to the roles by POST query to https://your.keycloack.server:8443/admin/realms/frigate-realm/roles, with an access token, of course.
• Create users and assing roles for them at keycloak
• Assing admin role to admin user
• Create folder /opt/frigate
• Download files from example folder to /opt/frigate
• Rename example.docker-compose.yml to docker-compose.yml.
• Define your parameters in the compose file. It has comments and predefined parameters.
• Check the compose config:

docker compose config

• Run containers:

docker compose up -d

Environment variables in docker-compose.yml:

necessary:

SERVER: http://0.0.0.0:4000 # FQDN or IP

ENCRYPTION_KEY: "YOUR_SUPER_SECRET_KEY_FOR_ENCRYPTED_SETTINGS" # for saving and reading encrypt settings in DB

optional:

LOG_LEVEL: debug
RATE_LIMIT: 100 # optional, requests rate limit per TIME_WINDOW, default 1000

Additional information for Proxmox

If you want to use proxmox you must pass through your devices to the LXC container. Example of an LXC container in the example folder. More information can be read in the frigate discussion.
