Hello fellow HA nerds! I've run into a snag configuring frigate. I have a minipc running Ubuntu server bare metal, which I have running docker, which has frigate in a container. I want to store all my recordings on a network SMB share I have. I have the share mounted on the Ubuntu server on boot. What is the best way for me to get frigate to save recordings to my share drive? I'm decent with linux, but new to docker and frigate. Thanks so much in advance

I have in frigate docker-compose.yml the storage volume set to external drive (/nvr/)
- /nvr/storage:/media/frigate
maybe you can point it to SMB share you want to use?

I think you're right. I misunderstood how to format that line, but seeing your example I get it now. I'm going to try that right now.

Looks like that worked! Thank you so much for your help.
Just for the record, I did have another issue where the container kept rebooting after updating my locations. Turns out you can not put the config folder on a network share because it's running sqlite which does not play nice living on a network share. So the config folder had to stay local on my server.

Thats probably true. Writing the records also over smb-share sounds a bit exotic but good if it works

@vast garden do you know of any discords for general Frigate support?
