[Support]: Clips are filling up /tmp/frigate on my unraid host filesystem

See original GitHub issue

Describe the problem you are having

I’m running frigate in docker on unraid, and for some reason, frigate seems to be filling up /tmp/frigate on the host (Not in the container), with clips. I’m having to periodically go in there and delete files.

I also have files output into the expected directory mapped in to the container.

Any suggestions?
