Erich Blume 40f1568088 Remove unused Mosquitto MQTT broker from ringtail

Mosquitto has been dormant since frigate-notify switched from MQTT to
webapi polling (529ba10). Tear down live infra (ArgoCD app, namespace)
and remove all manifests, service-versions entry, services-check, and
doc references.

Frigate

Open-source network video recorder (NVR) with object detection. Runs cloud-free with all video stored locally on sifaka.

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 runs on ringtail's RTX 4080 via the ONNX detector with CUDA execution provider (TensorRT). The model is YOLOv9-c at 640x640 (yolov9-c-640.onnx, model_type: yolo-generic), which benefits from CUDA Graphs in Frigate 0.17. To re-export or change model size, use mise run frigate-export-model.

Two zones are configured: driveway_entrance (triggers review alerts for person/car) and driveway (triggers review detections).

Retention

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

Storage

Mount	Backend	Size
`/media/frigate`	NFS PV on sifaka (`/volume1/frigate`)	2 Ti
`/db`	Local PVC (`frigate-database`)	SQLite
`/dev/shm`	Memory-backed `emptyDir`	512 Mi

Alerting (frigate-notify)

A separate frigate-notify pod polls Frigate's webapi every 15 seconds for detection events and pushes alerts to ntfy on the frigate-alerts topic. Alert messages include action buttons linking back to the Frigate review UI.

ntfy - Push notification delivery
sifaka - NAS storage for recordings
observability - Prometheus metrics at /api/metrics
