Erich Blume f45897b7c7 Upgrade Frigate 0.16.4 → 0.17.0-rc2 (#205) 
## Summary

- Bump Frigate image from `0.16.4-standard-arm64` to `0.17.0-rc2-standard-arm64`
- Adapt `record` config to 0.17 schema: `retain.days`/`mode: all` → `continuous.days`
- Update service docs and version tracker

This is the first step toward the Apple Silicon ZMQ detector. The existing ONNX detector is kept so we can validate the upgrade independently.

## What is NOT changing

- Detector config (still `type: onnx` with YOLO-NAS-s)
- go2rtc streams, MQTT, cameras, zones, review rules
- frigate-notify, storage PVs, Grafana dashboard

## Deployment and Testing

- [ ] `argocd app set frigate --revision upgrade-frigate-0.17 && argocd app sync frigate`
- [ ] Pod starts, `/api/version` returns `0.17.0-rc2`
- [ ] No config errors in pod logs
- [ ] Frigate web UI loads at `https://nvr.ops.eblu.me`
- [ ] Live view works, detection running (`/api/stats` shows `detection_fps > 0`)
- [ ] Recordings being created (`/api/recordings/summary`)
- [ ] MQTT events flowing (check frigate-notify logs)
- [ ] After merge: `argocd app set frigate --revision main && argocd app sync frigate`

Cameras

Camera IP Location Objects Tracked
GableCam 192.168.1.159 Front gable person, car, dog, cat, bird

Camera credentials are stored in 1Password and synced via external-secrets to the frigate-camera Secret.

Detection

Object detection uses ONNX with a YOLO-NAS-s model running on CPU (ARM64). The model file lives on the NFS recordings volume at /media/frigate/models/yolo_nas_s.onnx.

A driveway_entrance zone is configured for alert filtering — only detections in this zone trigger review alerts.

Retention

Type Duration Mode
Continuous recording 3 days all
Alert clips 30 days active objects
Detection clips 14 days motion
Snapshots 14 days —

/media/frigate NFS PV on sifaka (/volume1/frigate) 2 Ti

Alerting (frigate-notify)

A separate frigate-notify pod (ghcr.io/0x2142/frigate-notify:v0.3.5) subscribes to Frigate's MQTT events via Mosquitto and pushes alerts to ntfy on the frigate-alerts topic. Alert messages include action buttons linking back to the Frigate review UI.
