Yo If you are having difficulties getting WebRTC to work and you are running Frigate with docker, you may want to try changing the container network mode: - `network: host`, in this mode you don't need to forward any ports. The services inside of the Frigate container will have full access to the network interfaces of your host machine as if they were running natively and not in a container. Any port conflicts will need to be resolved. This network mode is recommended by go2rtc, but we recommend you only use it if necessary. -- `network: bridge` creates a virtual network interface for the container, and the container will have full access to it. You also don't need to forward any ports, however, the IP for accessing Frigate locally will differ from the IP of the host machine. Your router will see Frigate as if it was a new device connected in the network. +- `network: bridge` is the default network driver, a bridge network is a Link Layer device which forwards traffic between network segments. You need to forward any ports that you want to be accessible from the host IP. If not running in host mode, port 8555 will need to be mapped for the container:
