Hi,
I'm very new to Proxmox, but am looking for some help as I'm having problems setting up recording storage on an external SSD. I apologize if I have some of the terminology incorrect.
I have Docker installed, where I'm using Turnkey and Portainer, where Frigate is installed. The same machine also has Home Assistant set up as a VM. All of this is installed on an HP elitedesk 800 g2.
I have Frigate running, and all my cameras working no problem, but I cannot get the recordings to be stored on an external SSD (1tb). I will try and explain what I have set up below, and hopefully, somebody with greater knowledge can help point me in the right direction.
I have added USB storage to my machine using this video by Virtualize Everything on YouTube, and can confirm I have the storage visible.

Here's my set up, where I can see the storage is attached to the path/target
I've then added the path to the Frigate config under Volumes.
services:
frigate:
container_name: frigate
image: ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
privileged: true
shm_size: "400mb"
restart: always
volumes:
- /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime
- /root/frigate:/config:rw
- /mnt/NVR:/media/frigate
- type: tmpfs # Optional: 1GB of memory, reduces SSD/SD Card wear
target: /tmp/cache
tmpfs:
size: 1000000000
ports:
- 5000:5000
- 1935:1935
environment:
FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD: "xxx"
But I can see that when I look through the file manager in Turnkey, the files are being stored here (originally, before changing the config, they were stored under the root folder:
Plus, I can't see any of my SSD being used.
Can also see the storage size in Frigate is very small.
Could anyone help explain what I am doing wrong, or if there's something I just don't understand, as I am very new at this?
Many thanks in advance.
