frigate.sh: interactive camera wizard generates go2rtc + cameras config
Previously Frigate always wrote a placeholder config.yml the operator had
to hand-edit to add cameras. Now install_frigate prompts to add cameras
one at a time (name, RTSP IP/port/user/password/path, optional sub-stream,
enabled, notifications), matching the go2rtc + cameras structure used in
production frigate configs:
- Each camera gets a go2rtc stream entry (+ optional _sub for detection)
and a cameras: block with ffmpeg inputs/roles, detect, notifications
- RTSP credentials/IPs are written to .env as FRIGATE_* variables (first
camera gets FRIGATE_RTSP_USER/PASSWORD, later cameras get numbered
suffixes _1, _2, ... to avoid collisions) and referenced in config.yml
via Frigate's {FRIGATE_VAR} substitution syntax — secrets never appear
in the YAML directly
- docker-compose.yml now includes env_file: .env so those vars actually
reach the container for substitution to work
- Skipping all camera prompts falls back to the original starter
config.yml for manual editing, preserving existing behavior
- README and DRY-RUN summary updated to reflect the new flow
