[Beta Support]: Classification is loosing labels after restart in Docker (e.g. new release from 0.17-rc2 to 0.17.-rc3)

[flispy]

Describe the problem you are having

I am trying to use classification models in 0.17. This is working great.
But every time I am restarting my docker container because of version change or any other issue, classification has no preset anymore of my previously set label names. For example persons: I give them names, classification is still working with these names but if I want to do it manually in web-view, there are no labels anymore.
The same problem exists with face recognition. I do not have any faces after restarting my docker.

Beta Version

0.17.0-rc3

      ### Normal Activity Indicators (Level 0)
      - Known/verified people in any zone at any time
      - People with pets in residential areas
      - Deliveries or services during daytime/evening (6 AM - 10 PM): carrying packages to doors/porches, placing items, leaving
      - Services/maintenance workers with visible tools, uniforms, or service vehicles during daytime
      - Activity confined to public areas only (sidewalks, streets) without entering property at any time

      ### Suspicious Activity Indicators (Level 1)
      - **Testing or attempting to open doors/windows/handles on vehicles or buildings** — ALWAYS Level 1 regardless of time or duration
      - **Unidentified person in private areas (driveways, near vehicles/buildings) during late night/early morning (11 PM - 5 AM)** — ALWAYS Level 1 regardless of activity or duration
      - Taking items that don't belong to them (packages, objects from porches/driveways)
      - Climbing or jumping fences/barriers to access property
      - Attempting to conceal actions or items from view
      - Prolonged loitering: remaining in same area without visible purpose throughout most of the sequence

      ### Critical Threat Indicators (Level 2)
      - Holding break-in tools (crowbars, pry bars, bolt cutters)
      - Weapons visible (guns, knives, bats used aggressively)
      - Forced entry in progress
      - Physical aggression or violence
      - Active property damage or theft in progress

      ### Assessment Guidance
      Evaluate in this order:

      1. **If person is verified/known** → Level 0 regardless of time or activity
      2. **If person is unidentified:**
        - Check time: If late night/early morning (11 PM - 5 AM) AND in private areas (driveways, near vehicles/buildings) → Level 1
        - Check actions: If testing doors/handles, taking items, climbing → Level 1
        - Otherwise, if daytime/evening (6 AM - 10 PM) with clear legitimate purpose (delivery, service worker) → Level 0
      3. **Escalate to Level 2 if:** Weapons, break-in tools, forced entry in progress, violence, or active property damage visible (escalates from Level 0 or 1)

      The mere presence of an unidentified person in private areas during late night hours is inherently suspicious and warrants human review, regardless of what activity they appear to be doing or how brief the sequence is.

You don't have the media volume mapped to anywhere

[flispy]

Oups. How can I identify the current used media location?

[hawkeye217]

Media will be stored directly inside the Frigate container without a Docker mapping. When you recreate the container, this causes all your recordings, classification data, snapshots, etc to be completely wiped.

See the official docs for the correct configuration of /media/frigate: https://docs-dev.frigate.video/frigate/installation#docker

[flispy]

many thanks! works perfectly now
