immediate replicate footage to OneDrive

[marcgarciamarti]

Describe what you are trying to accomplish and why in non technical terms I want to be able to replicate my local footage to OneDrive as soon as it is recorded, so that in case my home gets broken into footage is preserved in case my frigate endpoint is destroyed

Describe the solution you'd like Footage is stored locally on the hard drive of my local server. Motioneye does feature this ability out of the box.

Describe alternatives you've considered Motioneye does offer this feature out of the box

This is something that can be done on the host like https://itsfoss.com/use-onedrive-linux-rclone/ or other options as well.

I don't think this is something that has value being baked directly into frigate.

If you wanted to make a backup of Frigate's media store and database, it would make sense to do that on the host. However, there is a use case for only backing up (some) events to the cloud.

For example, you might want events with person or car to be backed up immediately but not care much about other things. At a remote site with a cellular-network or satellite uplink, you might not even have enough bandwidth, especially in the "up" direction, for a continuous full backup.

It doesn't seem entirely outrageous that Frigate would support this, though a better solution might be something outside Frigate that uses MQTT and the HTTP API to be notified and make backups of certain events.

I definitely agree with you, and I don't think doing it on the host makes that less of a possibility.

From my perspective, frigate should give the user the tools to: be alerted of new footage, filter what is important, and upload / backup to wherever they want.

If we were toadd onedrive then there's a request for Dropbox and the list will get longer and longer,

It doesn't seem entirely outrageous that Frigate would support this, though a better solution might be something outside Frigate that uses MQTT and the HTTP API to be notified and make backups of certain events.

In my opinion, this would be ideal. I think it's definitely possible for a user to set this up today via MQTT and our http API. I'm sure there's optimizations / other APIs that could make it easier.
