TrueNAS Scale Docker - Missing Config File

[micogg]

I'm trying to run Frigate NVR in a TrueNAS Scale docker. I am using the pre-built Frigate image ( blakeblackshear/frigate:stable-amd64 ). The issue is that the image does not have a pre-built config file or folder so once I start the docker, it quickly ends the instance saying it cannot locate the config file. I cannot access app shell to add the config/config folder because of the error ( error: unable to upgrade connection: container not found ("ix-chart") ).

I can't figure out or find documentation on how to add the config file to the docker in TrueNAS Scale. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

This config file is actually why we haven't added it already as a TrueCharts App ;-)
It's not 100% clear if just adding storage is enough.

The "Big Blue" docker button, is mostly just for very simple deployments...

Thanks, that makes sense. I appreciate it!

Don't know if this help but you can point folders of a docker to a dataset that you have, may be able to point the config folder to a dataset and preload that dataset with the config file you need

The thing is that some apps, store both the application code AND config FILE in the same FOLDER.
If you mount the whole folder in a persistent volume/dataset/whatever, you might break future updates.
And in this case the only correct way is to mount the FILE only!

Is there any ETA of this plugin ? I am looking forward to move from NVR to Frigate. Have to buy GPU and TPU it will take some time so it would be nice to know how things are going.

Firstly, iX needs to add this feature.

https://jira.ixsystems.com/browse/NAS-112646

After that it needs some time from a contributor to add Frigate to the repo.

Thank You. For anyone else I think that voting for this change in jira shopuld speed up things.

Not sure if it's possible via the GUI but via the REST API you can map an individual file instead of a folder, just like you can in regular Docker.

Thanks,

Stavros his comment was not the blocker for this issue actually.
There never has been a plan to mount files with config for most Apps, the actuall blocker is the lack of textfield in the GUI, which was planned to be used for App config like this.
