Frigate-Notify Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Deploy Frigate-Notify hosting and add a self-hosted Frigate notifier that watches the Frigate NVR you already run and sends an alert with a snapshot to your phone. xCloud starts the pinned image, points it at your Frigate address, and sends alerts to the ntfy server and topic you chose, generating a hard-to-guess topic if you leave it empty. There is no web interface to log in to: settings live in one environment file.

What is Frigate-Notify?

Frigate-Notify is a small headless service, released under the MIT licence, that sends notifications from a Frigate NVR to the platforms you already use. Upstream lists polling the Frigate API or MQTT for events and delivery to Discord, Gotify, Matrix, Mattermost, ntfy, Pushover, Signal, SMTP, Telegram and webhooks, with many more through the Apprise API. It is a notifier rather than an NVR, and upstream says Home Assistant is not required. Self-hosted Frigate-Notify is the lightweight route when you want camera alerts without building automations around a larger home-automation stack.

On xCloud the template runs the official ghcr.io/0x2142/frigate-notify v0.5.4 image, pinned by digest, as one container with no database and no persistent volume. Frigate itself is not included: you supply its address and an alert destination. Settings are read at startup from the environment file, and the optional management API is published on the server's loopback address only.

From Sign-Up to Live Camera Alerts In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting a Frigate notifier normally means a container, an environment file of provider settings and a secret topic to keep straight before a single alert arrives. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account and pick Frigate-Notify from the OneClick catalog. Enter your existing Frigate server's URL — for example http://192.168.1.10:5000.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the official ghcr.io/0x2142/frigate-notify image pinned by immutable digest, point it at your Frigate server, and generate a private, hard-to-guess ntfy topic if you left that field empty.
Step 03
Subscribe And Wait For An Alert
Save the ntfy topic from your protected installation credentials, subscribe to it in the ntfy app on your phone or desktop, and the next Frigate detection arrives with its snapshot.

Everything Frigate-Notify Does, On Your Own Server

Frigate-Notify runs in full here — detection alerts with snapshots, read from the Frigate NVR you already run.

Alerts Without Home Assistant
Events are read straight from the Frigate API by polling, so no Home Assistant or MQTT broker is required.
Camera, Labels, Snapshot And Link
Each alert carries the camera name, the detected object labels, a link back to the Frigate review and a snapshot image.
Ready With ntfy Out Of The Box
Leave the topic field empty and a hard-to-guess 24-character ntfy topic is generated at install, so you can subscribe and start receiving alerts immediately.
Or Bring Your Own Provider
Discord, Telegram, Gotify, Matrix, Mattermost, Pushover, Signal, SMTP, webhooks and Apprise are all available through environment settings.
Quiet Hours And Custom Titles
Set quiet hours, a custom alert title and a public Frigate URL for alert links, all through the environment file.
Resumes Itself After A Restart
Settings live in the environment file, so alerting resumes by itself after an xCloud restart — there's no state to lose.

What You Can Do With Frigate-Notify

Get a phone alert when a camera sees something

Keep alerts on your own server
Run the notifier next to your own ntfy server and keep alert content off third-party notification services.
Send to the chat apps you already use
Route Frigate events to Discord, Telegram, Matrix, Gotify or email instead of opening the Frigate interface.
Watch the notifier itself
Poll the aliveness endpoint from an uptime tool so you notice if camera alerts stop arriving.

Frigate-Notify vs Alternatives

Home Assistant: Upstream notes Home Assistant is not required. Frigate-Notify is the narrower option: it only sends Frigate alerts, with no automations or dashboards to maintain.
Apprise API: Apprise API has its own xCloud page and fans notifications out to many services. Frigate-Notify watches Frigate itself and can hand alerts to Apprise API for providers it does not cover.
ntfy: ntfy has its own xCloud page and is the push server that receives the alerts. Frigate-Notify produces the alerts; the two work together.
Gotify: Gotify has its own xCloud page and is another push server. Frigate-Notify can send to it as one of its delivery methods.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Can you self-host Frigate-Notify with Docker?

Yes. For Frigate-Notify Docker hosting, the template runs the official ghcr.io/0x2142/frigate-notify v0.5.4 image, pinned by digest, as a single container with no database or volume. Configuration arrives as FN_* environment variables from the install's environment file. The image has no shell, so no in-container health check runs.

Is Frigate-Notify free and open source?

The software is open source under the MIT licence, so the notifier has no licence fee. xCloud charges for the Cloud VPS and the deployment. Your alert destination is separate: the public ntfy.sh server is the default, or you can point the install at an ntfy server of your own.

How much RAM does Frigate-Notify need?

The manifest asks for 256 MB of RAM, one CPU core and 1 GB of disk, because it is one small binary with no database. The 6 GB plan on this page is far above that floor, so it comfortably covers the notifier with room for anything else you run on the server.

Does Frigate-Notify include Frigate?

No. This template deploys only the notifier. You need a running Frigate server that this server can reach, and you enter its address when you deploy. Frigate-Notify checks the address at startup, retries every 30 seconds for about two minutes, then exits and restarts if Frigate never answers.

Where can Frigate-Notify send alerts?

The template asks for an ntfy server and topic, with ntfy.sh as the default. Upstream also lists Discord, Gotify, Matrix, Mattermost, Pushover, Signal, SMTP, Telegram and webhooks, and many more through the Apprise API. Add those by editing the environment file and redeploying, since settings are read only at startup.

Which Frigate versions work with Frigate-Notify?

The default alert mode is reviews, which needs Frigate 0.14 or newer. For an older Frigate, set FN_APP__MODE to events in the environment file and redeploy. Events are read by polling the Frigate web API every 30 seconds, and MQTT is the alternative event source upstream supports.

How do I secure the Frigate-Notify management API?

The API has no authentication, returns the running configuration including provider credentials, and accepts changes, so the template publishes it on the server's loopback address only and never through a domain. Do not expose that port publicly. If you place your own reverse proxy in front, add Basic Auth there.

How do I back up Frigate-Notify?

There is no volume and no database, so there is nothing to restore from the container. Keep a private copy of the environment file contents, which holds your Frigate address, ntfy topic and any provider credentials. Treat that copy as sensitive, because a public ntfy topic is readable by anyone who knows it.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Frigate-Notify?

Version v0.5.4 is fixed by digest, so a catalog update does not alter the running notifier. Keep a copy of your environment file, read the upstream release notes, then adopt a newer template version when you choose. Configuration is re-read from that file on each start, so your settings carry over.

Can I run Frigate-Notify in the cloud on xCloud?

Yes. Frigate-Notify cloud use means a dedicated Cloud VPS sends the alerts. The one requirement is that your Frigate address must be reachable from that server; if it is not, the container exits at startup. Alternatively, connect a server from another provider as self-managed.

Does Frigate-Notify have a web interface?

No. It is headless: alerts arrive in your notification app, and the only other surface is the loopback-only management API with its status and documentation pages. There is no dashboard or login, so you change behaviour by editing the environment file and redeploying.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
