frigate-gdrive-uploader

Transfers all Frigate clips that have not yet been uploaded to Google Drive.

Use this project https://github.com/kankadev/frigate-gdrive-instant-uploader instead if you want to upload clips instantly after they have been recorded by Frigate.

Requirements

• python 3.8

Installation

1. clone this repository
2. rename env_example to .env and change values to your needs
3. run python setup.py in project root directory to install all required packages
4. create a project in google cloud console and enable drive api
5. download the credentials json file from Google and copy its content to credentials/google_drive_credentials.json
6. run python main.py in project root directory, e.g. as a cronjob every minute to check for new clips and upload them every minute

Known opportunities for improvement

• "real time" upload of clips instead of cronjob, check MQTT documentation for Frigate
• log rotation
• clean up SQLite database automatically frequently
• push notifications in case of errors (e.g. telegram bot, Discord, Mattermost, Gotify, etc.)
• dockerize this project
