Hello! New to HA, setup my camera and frigate on Homeassistant OS in a minipc with a nvme ssd, I have an external hard drive specifically for nvr hooked up to the mini pc, how am I able to tell frigate to store media on that hard drive and not the ssd?

I tried manually mounting it and mkdir -p /media , but am getting read only file system errors which I assume is expected however I can’t even cd into /media, because it looks like it does not exist anywhere. Completely lost

Hello @wild vale,
For me in configuration.yaml

homeassistant:
  media_dirs:
    local: /media

Then the /media path becomes part of /local .
And put the mp3 in a folder in HA under

/media/mp3

(The media folder already exists, you would want to add a sub folder to that, or at least I did, to keep your OCD happy.)
When I want to use an MP3, the path is

media-source://media_source/local/mp3/Ships_Bell_4.mp3

Adjust as you desire, but that is a basic version of mine.
