How to Install Frigate on MXLinux Latest

Frigate is an open-source video surveillance software that uses modern machine learning to detect and identify objects in video footage. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Frigate on MXLinux Latest.

Step 1: Update MXLinux

The first step to installing Frigate is to ensure that MXLinux is updated to the latest version. Open the terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Next, we need to install the dependencies required by Frigate. Run the following command to install the required packages:

sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev

Step 3: Install Docker

Frigate is packaged as a Docker container, so we need to install Docker on MXLinux. Follow these steps to install Docker:

Add the Docker repository:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

Update the package index:
```
sudo apt update
```

Install Docker:

sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

Verify that Docker is installed and running:
```
sudo systemctl status docker
```

Step 4: Install Frigate

Once Docker is installed and running, we can install Frigate. Follow these steps:

Create a directory to store Frigate configuration files:
```
mkdir -p ~/frigate/config
```

Create a Frigate configuration file:

nano ~/frigate/config/config.yml

Paste the following configuration into the file:

# Docker compose version
version: '3'

services:
  # Frigate 
  frigate:
    image: blakeblackshear/frigate:stable-amd64
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
      - "1935:1935"
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - ${PWD}/data:/data 
      - ${PWD}/config:/config
    environment:
      - MQTT_HOST=mqtt://host.docker.internal
    restart: always

Save and close the configuration file (press CTRL+X, then Y, then ENTER).
Run the following command to start Frigate:
```
cd ~/frigate/config
docker-compose up -d
```
It may take a few minutes for Frigate to start up.

Step 5: Access Frigate

Frigate should now be accessible at http://localhost:5000. You can log in using the default username and password (admin/admin). Once you have logged in, you can configure Frigate to suit your needs.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Frigate on MXLinux Latest.
