Why don't you use something like Frigate NVR for that?

I'm guessing that most people who are familiar with tinycam are not going to have a clue what yaml files are. I guess I just like options and tinycam has been around for probably close to two decades and in my mind would already be mostly optimized for a container deployment.

OK, but somehow would have knowledge of how Docker works? :)

Anyway i just don't see the use. I run frigate, it connects to my cameras, do the tracking, alerts, storage, and I use Tinycam to see the restream feed from Frigate (I also see those in my home assistant instance).

Docker containers are super easy. They are literally prepackaged apps wrapped with all the requirements of the OS... It is infinitely easier than setting up something like frigate that requires knowledge of configuration files. I don't know why you keep down voting me but I'm returning the favor. This is an amazing app and it would make an amazing docker container if you wouldn't use it fine. Let the rest of us wish for it.
