[Support]: Errno 21 Is a directory

Describe the problem you are having

Complete and total newbie here, but I’ve made it this far.

Whenever I run docker-compose up I get:

"Errno 21 Is a Directory: ‘/config/config.yml’

My docker-compose.yml is located at Users/me/Frigate and my config.yml is located at Users/me/Frigate/config. The paths are written as such in the docker-compose.yml file (don’t have access to those files at the moment but can post them later).

I’ve read the threads here with the Errno 21 issue and didn’t get anywhere. It’s a file, not a Directory! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Any suggestions?

You need to create the path and file on your host before starting the container. If you don’t, docker will create the path assuming you want a directory. That will cause this error. Clean up the directory created by docker then create a file called config.yml instead according to the docs. Then you can start the container.

What is meant by “frigate.yml file must already exist”? Exist where? it’s already present in the mapping.

It must exist where you’ve told proxmox / the config file that it exists. If that error occurs is 95% of the time means that the mapping is incorrect and the frigate.yml (or whatever it is named in the volume mapping) is not where docker is being told it is.
