Docker container frigate-dev usage

[herostrat]

As a mostly embedded guy I struggle a bit with the dev environment and how to use it properly.

The release-0.9.0 branch documents the basic usage, which seems to work. I think I get the basics of docker-compose.

atm my workflow is:

• start containers
• start frigate in frigate-dev container
• write code in repo
• restart containers to see changes
• start frigate in frigate-dev container

This seems kinda complicated. Is there a way that my code changes in my local repo are mirrored in the frigate-dev container? Is it already the case and I just use it wrongly?

Thanks for the help.

If you are using visual studio code, it will prompt you to reopen in a remote container. Then you just edit the code and start frigate with sudo python3 -m frigate directly in the terminal within visual studio code.

Note: I only tried using the shell, not opening the remote container -.-
Now it works and is really very nice to develop with.

Once again, thanks for the help!
