How do I get frigate to save to a different disk?

[TheBigBobo]

Hi, I've managed to get frigate installed fine via the helper script, but I want to have it save footage to a different storage device than where it's installed.
I tried following this guide:
https://www.homeautomationguy.io/blog/running-frigate-on-proxmox
But it's a year old and obviously out of date.

I think I've managed to get the intended location available to the container, but I wasn't able to get frigate to actually use it.
The folder cctv appears in root so I'm guessing something has happened, but trying to edit docker-compose.yml in /opt/frigate by changing ./debug:/media/frigate to /cctv:/media/frigate doesn't appear to do anything. The metrics for storage still show the 20GB I selected when I installed.
I'm very new to all this, so any help would be appreciated.

OK amazingly Chat GPT helped me.

here is what i did (cctv_clips is my mount point)

Stop the Frigate Recording Manager
sudo kill -9 540

Stop the Other Frigate Processes

sudo kill -9 1444 1445 1448 1450 1452

Remove existing folder

sudo rm -rf /media/frigate/recordings

Create the symlink

sudo ln -s /cctv_clips /media/frigate/recordings

Verify the symlink

ls -l /media/frigate/recordings

Restart Frigate

Should be working now

Obviously change cctv_clips to whatever your mp=

Perfect. I've never tried ChatGPT, but I'm impressed. Thanks.
