### Setup
#### 1. Build the docker container locally with the appropriate make command
For x86 machines, use `make amd64_frigate`
#### 2. Create a local config file for testing
Place the file at `config/config.yml` in the root of the repo.
Here is an example, but modify for your needs:
```yaml
mqtt:
host: mqtt

These input args tell ffmpeg to read the mp4 file in an infinite loop. You can use any valid ffmpeg input here.
#### 3. Gather some mp4 files for testing
Create and place these files in a `debug` folder in the root of the repo. This is also where clips and recordings will be created if you enable them in your test config. Update your config from step 2 above to point at the right file. You can check the `docker-compose.yml` file in the repo to see how the volumes are mapped.
#### 4. Open the repo with Visual Studio Code
Upon opening, you should be prompted to open the project in a remote container. This will build a container on top of the base frigate container with all the development dependencies installed. This ensures everyone uses a consistent development environment without the need to install any dependencies on your host machine.
#### 5. Run frigate from the command line
VSCode will start the docker compose file for you and you will be able to see 3 containers listed when running `docker ps`. To run frigate with your modified code, run `docker exec -it frigate /bin/bash` from the command line to get a prompt inside the container. Then run `python3 -m frigate` to start.
VSCode will start the docker compose file for you and open a terminal window connected to `frigate-dev`.
- Run `python3 -m frigate` to start the backend.
- In a separate terminal window inside VS Code, change into the `web` directory and run `npm install && npm start` to start the frontend.
#### 6. Teardown
After closing VSCode, you may still have containers running. To close everything down, just run `docker-compose down -v` to cleanup all containers.
