# Kubernetes Examples

This directory contains two deployment patterns for one Frigate instance.

## Same Pod

`same-pod.yaml` runs Frigate and the bridge as two containers in one Pod:

- `camera-control` is a real sidecar,
- both containers share the Pod network namespace,
- `FRIGATE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:5000`,
- this is the lowest-latency and simplest option when the bridge lifecycle
  should follow the Frigate Pod.

```bash
kubectl apply -f examples/kubernetes/same-pod.yaml
```

For an existing Frigate Deployment, copy only the `camera-control` container
block into the existing Pod template and keep `FRIGATE_URL` pointed at
`http://127.0.0.1:5000`.

## Two Pods

`two-pods.yaml` runs Frigate and the bridge as separate Deployments:

- Frigate is exposed through a Kubernetes Service named `frigate`,
- the bridge uses `FRIGATE_URL=http://frigate:5000`,
- the bridge has its own lifecycle and can be restarted independently,
- this is useful when adding the bridge next to an existing Frigate Deployment.

```bash
kubectl apply -f examples/kubernetes/two-pods.yaml
```

For production, replace image names, storage, device access, resource requests,
and secret names with values from your cluster.
