* Support multi resolution exports
* Fix decoder text
* Add dropdown and ability to select export stream selection
* Fix for review comments
* Fix mypy
* Cleanup wording
* add a notice registry and System Health tab
Problems Frigate detects on its own (ffmpeg crash loops, stuck detectors, failed model downloads, recordings deleted before their retention period) only ever existed as log lines. This adds a `NoticeRegistry` in the main process backed by two tables, an `update_notice` IPC topic so producers in other processes can reach it through the dispatcher, an admin-only API and websocket topic, and a Health tab that lists them. Kinds declare their own mode, severity, and category in one place: state notices are resolved by their producer, event notices are dismissed by the user.
* treat a prerelease as behind its final release
* fix notices clearing early
* rename menu items and update docs
* don't resolve the update notice on a failed version lookup
`after` and `before` defaulted to `datetime.now()` in the function signature, so they were evaluated once at import. Requests that omitted them got a window ending at process start. They now resolve in the handler.

follow a symlink an unprivileged nginx planted in the previous run.

* harden against symlink attacks
/config is owned by the unprivileged runtime user after the ownership sweep, so root operations on files there could be redirected by a planted symlink.
- go2rtc HomeKit setup: replace the root yq/jq normalization and chown with an O_NOFOLLOW helper (prepare_homekit.py), so a symlink at go2rtc_homekit.yml can't redirect a root write or chown onto another file
- go2rtc binary override: ignore /config/go2rtc whenever the service runs as root, so a planted binary can't exec as root under FRIGATE_ROOT_SERVICES
- sweep sentinel: read and write it through safe-sentinel, which trusts only a root-owned regular file and never follows a symlink, so it can't be forged to skip the migration or symlinked to clobber a root file
- ownership sweep: chown with -execdir so a parent directory swapped for a symlink mid-walk can't redirect the chown out of the volume
- validate inputs: restrict DEVICE_ACL_PATHS to /dev, require nonzero numeric EXTRA_GROUPS, and reject PUID/PGID that collide with the go2rtc ids
- docs: correct the TLS key ownership note to match what actually happens
* tweak docs
* stop the ownership sweep chasing entries other mechanisms own
* keep custom binaries out of root services only under granular root
* add onboarding wizard for new users
* resolve hwaccel per camera and clarify recording retention
The hwaccel step listed every preset Frigate ships, so an Intel box was offered Raspberry Pi and Rockchip decoding, and the codec specific presets (`preset-intel-qsv-h264` vs `-h265`) were offered as global values that break as soon as two cameras use different codecs. `/hardware/hwaccel` now returns the decoding families the probed hardware can actually use, each carrying a preset per codec, and the wizard resolves the family against the detect stream codec the camera wizard already probed: one global `ffmpeg.hwaccel_args` when every camera agrees, per-camera `cameras.<name>.ffmpeg.hwaccel_args` when they don't. The global stays on `auto` in that case so cameras added later still resolve at startup. A gen13+ Intel machine keeps its QuickSync recommendation with mixed h264 and h265 cameras instead of dropping to vaapi.
The recording step's "Days to retain recordings" only wrote alert and detection retention, and the storage estimate under it assumed continuous recording. It now asks what to record in plain language, writes `record.continuous.days` to match, shows the estimate only for continuous, and drops the spinner arrows on the number input.

* button consistency
* fix test
* docs
* fixes
* pin genai review frames to the main stream
* retain previews as long as either stream has recordings
* watch sub stream recording health separately from main
* reject record_sub on the same input as record and document the role
* derive recording paths from the cache segment timestamp
Recording paths carry one second of resolution, but since sub stream recording start times are resolved to fractional wall clock, anchored to the cache file mtime and chained to the previous segment's end. A stream cutting segments faster than once a second resolves consecutive segments into the same second, so two rows collide on the unique path index and the batch insert fails. The cache segment name is unique per camera stream and second by construction because ffmpeg names segments with strftime, so the recording path is now built from that timestamp while the row keeps the resolved start time. This also restores the path semantics from before sub stream recording, when start times came straight from the cache filename.
Nothing derives times from recording paths: playback offsets, stream switching, and export all use the row's start time, which is unchanged, and the recordings sync matches files by exact path string.
* keep the rest of a recording batch when one row conflicts
* only publish record_sub status when a sub stream is configured
* don't shadow camera_cfg when publishing empty cache streams
* back off restarts when a recording stream goes stale
* give the shared sub stream grace on any capture thread reset
* include segment details in recording discard warnings
* Verify s6-overlay downloads against pinned checksums
* Verify go2rtc download against pinned checksums
The v1.9.14 release publishes no checksums file, just the bare per-platform binaries, so these digests come from a one-time fetch rather than upstream. That pins the artifact against later substitution, which is the realistic threat for a version we stay on for months, but it does not verify the original download. The stage moves from `ADD --link` to a script because `ADD --checksum` can't express an architecture-dependent URL.
* Verify main image downloads against pinned checksums
Covers everything the main image downloads on the default path: tempio, the hailort runtime tarball and wheel, the six ffmpeg builds, the libedgetpu deb, and the thirteen Intel driver debs. The hailort tarball was streamed straight into `tar`, which can't be verified before extraction, so it downloads to `/tmp` first. The three ffmpeg blocks per arch collapse into one `install_ffmpeg` helper since they only differed by URL and install dir, and the Intel debs go through a `fetch_intel_deb` helper for the same reason.
The Intel debs are the ones that mattered most here. They're installed as root with `dpkg` on the default amd64 path and had no verification at all. compute-runtime publishes a `ww<week>.sum` asset with every release and npu-driver published `checksum.sha256` on v1.19.0, so those eight digests came from upstream rather than from us. intel-graphics-compiler and level-zero publish none, so those five and everything else here come from a one-time fetch, which pins the artifact against later substitution but doesn't verify the original download. The comment above the map says which is which and how to refresh them, since npu-driver has stopped publishing sums since v1.19.0 and that provenance won't survive the next bump.
Still unpinned: `get-pip.py`, which is a rolling URL where a digest would just break the build on pypa's next edit, and the per-variant artifacts for Axera, Synaptics, and Jetson. apt repositories are out of scope since apt already verifies signatures.
* Restrict generated TLS key permissions
OpenSSL 3.x already writes the key at 600 on its own, so this pins the guarantee rather than fixing an observed leak: the mode no longer depends on the openssl version or the umask the service happens to start with. Only the generated pair is touched. User-mounted certs take the other branch and are never chmod'd, which matters when they're mounted read-only.
* Add security headers and server_tokens off
Adds `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` and `Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin`, and turns off nginx version disclosure.
No `X-Frame-Options` and no CSP `frame-ancestors`. HA's Webpage card and iframe panels frame Frigate's own address cross-origin, and either header would break them silently with nothing in Frigate's logs to explain it. Ingress is same-origin and would survive `SAMEORIGIN`, but Frigate can't tell the two apart from inside the container. `security_headers.conf` is a plain file in the image rather than a generated one, so anyone who does want framing restrictions can bind-mount it.
`add_header` doesn't inherit into a block that declares its own, so the include goes in per block, all nine of them, including the four nested static-asset locations that serve the JS bundles. Those are the ones nosniff actually matters for.
The run script now reads `get_nginx_settings.py` once into a variable instead of shelling out per template. That script imports the frigate config machinery, which is noticeable on an SBC.
Not fixed here: `listen.conf` is included at server level and carries `Strict-Transport-Security`, so those same nine blocks already drop HSTS under TLS today. Folding it into this file would change existing TLS behavior on nine paths, so it needs its own PR.
* Restrict go2rtc config file permissions
* Log failed login attempts with source address
Failed logins returned a bare 401 and left nothing behind, so credential stuffing was invisible unless you were already watching nginx access logs. Both failure branches now log a warning with the attempted username and the client address.
The address comes from `get_remote_addr()`, the same helper the login rate limiter keys on, so the two agree on who the client is and the trusted-proxy handling is consistent. Logging a raw `x-forwarded-for` instead would let an attacker forge the source address in the very log line meant to catch them.
The response is unchanged and identical either way. Which factor failed is only visible in the log, never to the client, and the password is never logged.
* Recommend least-privilege container options in install docs
The compose generator pushed `privileged: true` into every file it produced, no matter what hardware you picked, and it's the default tab on the install page so it's what most people copy. It now emits `security_opt: no-new-privileges:true` instead, and only adds `privileged: true` for hardware that actually needs it, with the reason inline. MemryX is the only one today, since it needs to reach the max-manager. Rockchip and Synaptics only want privileged during initial setup and their documented end state is device mappings, so neither gets it.
`no-new-privileges` merges into the same `security_opt` block as any device-specific entries, so Rockchip still gets its `apparmor=unconfined` and `systempaths=unconfined` without a duplicate key.
The static example now has `privileged` commented out, and there's a short section on the options worth adding, with a note that `cap_drop: ALL` breaks `telemetry.stats.network_bandwidth` since nethogs needs NET_ADMIN/NET_RAW.
* Add amd64 container smoke test to CI
Boots the built amd64 image against a minimal config and asserts the two security headers, that the Server header no longer carries a version, that no frame-ancestors is present, that nginx accepts its own config, and the two file modes. This is also the harness the rest of the hardening work extends.
The two negative assertions are written as `if grep; then exit 1; fi` rather than `! grep`. Bash exempts a negated command from `set -e`, so the `!` form would have passed even with the version and frame-ancestors both present, which is the opposite of what a regression net is for.
* add secrets.yaml and merge substitution sources by precedence
FRIGATE_ENV_VARS was built once at import from container env and /run/secrets, and the environment_vars validator overwrote it unconditionally, so the block beat the deployment and nothing could be re-read. Sources are now separate dicts merged lowest to highest (environment_vars, secrets.yaml, container env, credentials directory), re-read at the top of every parse, and a collision warns once naming the winner. An undefined {FRIGATE_*} raises a ValueError subclass so pydantic reports the field instead of a KeyError traceback.
* use the shared substitution namespace in go2rtc config
The generator rebuilt the namespace itself from os.environ and a hardcoded /run/secrets, so it never saw environment_vars or CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY, and str.format made any stray brace fatal. It now installs the FRIGATE_ names from environment_vars and substitutes streams the same way every other field does.
* read the exec override from an import time snapshot
environment_vars is exported into os.environ, and is_go2rtc_arbitrary_exec_allowed read os.environ live, so the config file could enable exec sources. Snapshot the variable at import, which runs before any config is loaded.
* docs
* clarify docs
* add import/export for camera group layouts and streaming settings
Camera group layouts and per-camera streaming settings are stored in the browser's IndexedDB, so they are tied to a single browser on a single device. Users with more than one device have to rebuild every group layout and re-pick every camera's stream settings by hand, and clearing browser data loses the work.
Add a Backup & Restore card to Settings > UI Settings that exports these settings to a JSON file and imports that file on another device. Import shows a confirmation dialog with per-section counts, switches for layouts, streaming settings, and UI preferences, and warnings about camera groups or cameras in the file that are not on this server.
Server-side storage is deliberately avoided. These are per-device presentation settings: a layout arranged for a desktop is wrong on a tablet, and continuous full-resolution streams that are free on a wired LAN are not on a phone. An explicit file moves settings only when the user chooses to move them.
Implementation notes:
- web/src/utils/uiSettingsTransfer.ts owns a registry of transferable IndexedDB keys. Each entry records whether the key is user-namespaced, matching which persistence hook wrote it, plus a zod schema for its value.
- Only registry-known keys are ever written, and only when their value passes that schema. The file format deliberately lets unknown keys survive parsing, so this filter is what prevents a hand-edited file from writing arbitrary storage keys or out-of-range values.
- Export falls back to the legacy un-namespaced key, because the username migration runs lazily on first mount of each owning hook.
- Streaming settings merge per group rather than replacing the whole map, so groups configured only on the receiving device survive.
- Import writes storage and then reloads, because useUserPersistence reads a key only on mount and StreamingSettingsProvider would otherwise write its stale in-memory state back over the import.
- playbackBandwidthEstimate, frigate-search-history, and live-layout are excluded: the first two are measurements and user data rather than preferences, and live-layout's default is derived from the device.
* merge imported streaming settings per camera instead of per group
Allow audio classes to be grouped under a shared configured label.
Keep audio overrides separate from object labels and retain only the highest-scoring grouped detection.
Refs #23967
* add sub stream recording with adaptive quality playback
Optionally record a second, lower bitrate stream alongside the main
recording stream via a `record_sub` input role and `record.sub` config block, with its own retention windows.
Recordings rows now carry the stream type plus the media details needed to serve both streams from one manifest: video codec, audio presence, audio codec and rate, and a record-time keyframe index.
Playback resolves coverage across both streams and merges them into a single VOD sequence, falling back to a discontinuity manifest with per-clip init segments when the media signatures differ. The player exposes a quality selector, and an auto governor picks the stream from stall time, bandwidth, codec support, and the save-data hint.
* fix tests and i18n
* Add combined motion and object Birdseye mode
Add a motion_objects mode that keeps Birdseye active when motion is detected or a confirmed tracked object is present, including stationary objects.
Wire the mode through configuration, runtime commands, API schemas, documentation, and UI labels. Exclude false-positive trackers and add regression coverage for Birdseye activation and MQTT validation.
* Refactor Birdseye activity types as booleans
Replace combination-specific Birdseye modes with composable boolean activity types for motion, active objects, stationary objects, and continuous display.
Preserve legacy single-mode configuration and MQTT inputs, support canonical comma-separated MQTT combinations, and allow scalar YAML values to be replaced by nested settings through the config API.
* Preserve OpenVINO config translations
Regenerate the configuration translations with the OpenVINO detector schema available so the unrelated production detector labels remain intact.
* Preserve partial Birdseye mode overrides
Allow an empty activity selection with a canonical NONE MQTT state so partial camera and profile overrides can disable inherited flags without failing validation.
Add regression coverage for camera and profile inheritance, document the NONE contract, and keep the generated schema fixture scoped to Birdseye.
* Address Birdseye activity review feedback
Move scalar mode compatibility into the 0.18-1 config migration and reject empty activity selections instead of publishing a NONE state.
Pass activity signals through a frozen dataclass, preserve existing active-object tracker behavior, and require confirmed stationary objects. Revert the generic YAML mutation and cover migration, inheritance, MQTT, and activation regressions.
* Move Birdseye migration to 0.19
Use the 0.19-0 configuration revision for converting scalar Birdseye modes to composable activity flags, and update the migration regression coverage accordingly.
* Remove Birdseye migration test
Drop the dedicated config migration test as requested during review while retaining the 0.19-0 migration implementation.
* Docs: fix Synaptics default model path in object detector docs
The model is installed at /synaptics/mobilenet.synap by docker/synaptics/Dockerfile,
matching the config examples in the same section.
