frigate setup
Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2026 7:51 pm
docker-compose.yaml
Start Frigate by running docker compose up -d from within the folder containing docker-compose.yml. On startup, an admin user and password will be created and outputted in the logs. You can see this by running docker logs frigate. Frigate should now be accessible at https://server_ip:8971 where you can login with the admin user and finish the configuration using the built-in configuration editor.
