Frigate uses the following locations for read/write operations in the container. Docker volume mappings can be used to map these to any location on your host machine.

Note that Frigate does not currently support limiting recordings based on available disk space automatically. If using recordings, you must specify retention settings for a number of days that will fit within the available disk space of your drive or Frigate will crash.

- `/media/frigate/clips`: Used for snapshot storage. In the future, it will likely be renamed from `clips` to `snapshots`. The file structure here cannot be modified and isn't intended to be browsed or managed manually.
- `/media/frigate/recordings`: Internal system storage for recording segments. The file structure here cannot be modified and isn't intended to be browsed or managed manually.
- `/media/frigate/frigate.db`: Default location for the sqlite database. You will also see several files alongside this file while frigate is running. If moving the database location (often needed when using a network drive at `/media/frigate`), it is recommended to mount a volume with docker at `/db` and change the storage location of the database to `/db/frigate.db` in the config file.
