How to get SHM size increased running frigate in ZimaOS+ 1.7.0

Trying to figure out how to increase the SMZ size for Frigate app running it ZimaOS+.

I have tried from Frigate forum instructions but can’t find where to do in ZimaOS.

In your docker yaml for frigate. I have it setup as follows:

name: frigate
services:
frigate:
cpu_shares: 90
command:
container_name: frigate
deploy:

Sorry for the messed up layout, I’m pasting this from my phone. Note the shm_size tag. Put that in your own yaml and configure to your needs.

Ok that did not work, but I found how to get it in.

In Zima frigate Settings< Advanced< In (form) I used Environment Variables: Name<shm_size>Value:<“268435456”> for 256MB. This worked and now shows up in the yaml under entry point environment:

Now my other issue is: frigate.comms.mqtt

Message

Unable to connect to MQTT server: Invalid host.

I have MQTT enabled: true in frigate config, bu tget that error.

And I noticed you have port 8971 UDP in that config, is that for mqtt?

I have MQTT installed in Zima but I don’t know what settings in either Frigate or MQTT to set.

Here is MQTT yaml:

services:
  mosquitto:
    command:
      - sh
      - -c
      - |-
        if [ ! -f "/mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf" ]; then
          echo -n "No config file found. Create one... "
          {
            echo "# config generated on $(date +%Y.%m.%d\ %H:%M:%S)"
            echo "allow_anonymous true"
            echo "listener 1883"
            echo "persistence true"
            echo "persistence_location /mosquitto/data/"
            echo "log_dest file /mosquitto/log/mosquitto.log"
          } > /mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf
          if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
            echo "done."
          else
            echo "error."
            exit 1
          fi
        fi
        echo "Starting Mosquitto"
