Adds a Frigate setup guide with the companion video and screenshots.
The guide covers camera streams, storage, hardware decoding and object detection, recording retention, zones, exports and private phone access through Tailscale. It includes Intel, NVIDIA, AMD, CPU, NPU and USB Coral options, with NVIDIA model preparation marked as advanced.
The validation statement names the tested Frigate and Unraid versions. NVIDIA and AMD alternatives were checked against documentation rather than tested on the Intel setup.
Checks passed for targeted Remark, image paths, section links, shell command syntax and Git whitespace. The guide was also reviewed in a local Docusaurus development preview. A full production build wasn't run.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Documentation
Added a guide for installing and configuring Frigate on Unraid, covering camera and storage setup, container networking, and hardware options for video decoding and object detection.
The guide also explains stream and detection settings, retention, zones, playback, exports, private HTTPS access, and iPhone push notifications.
Includes setup checks, troubleshooting advice, and security recommendations for protecting camera access and Frigate authentication.

- Around line 325-326: Update steps 1 and 2 in the Unraid device-mapping
instructions to identify the Intel NPU’s accel node by its `intel_vpu` driver
association, then use that discovered node number for the host and container
device mapping instead of assuming `accel0`.

Adds a guide for installing and configuring Frigate on Unraid. It covers hardware options, camera and recording workflows, private Tailscale access, iPhone notifications, and security checks.

Summary
Installation and operating workflows guides/frigate-on-unraid/index.md
The guide documents container setup, hardware-specific decoding and detection, camera streams, recording and retention, zones, playback, exports, Tailscale access, and iPhone notifications. It also describes port mapping and authentication checks.
The guide is mergeable with a bounded correction or follow-up: identify the Intel NPU device rather than assuming accel0. Hosts with multiple accelerators may otherwise fail to start NPU detection.

Explanation
The title "Add Frigate setup guide for Unraid" matches the main change: a new guide file, guides/frigate-on-unraid/index.md, that explains how to install and configure Frigate on Unraid. It is concise, specific, and free of noise. The title does not cover hardware options or phone notifications, which is expected for a title.

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the purpose (a Frigate setup guide with a companion video and screenshots), summarizes the covered topics, names the tested Frigate and Unraid versions in the validation statement, and lists which checks were run. It does not answer the template checklist. Items 1 through 5 (relative internal links, lowercase dash-separated file name, assets in an assets/ subfolder, check for duplicate open PRs, and build status) are not addressed explicitly. The description says a full production build was not run, so item 5 is unresolved. The file is at guides/frigate-on-unraid/index.md, which is lowercase and dash-separated, but the description does not confirm this. The selected assets sit in a selected-assets/ folder rather than assets/, which does not match item 3 as written. Because the template is only partly addressed, the description is mostly complete on content but incomplete against the checklist.
Resolution
Complete the template checklist in the description. Confirm that internal wiki links use relative file links. Confirm that the new file name is lowercase and dash-separated (it appears to be). Confirm that image and video assets are in an assets/ subfolder next to the .md file. The current folder is selected-assets/, so either move the assets to assets/ or explain why the name differs. Confirm that no other open PR covers the same change. State whether the Docusaurus build succeeds. The description says a full production build was not run, so run it or explain why it cannot run.

Map the Intel NPU's accel node, not accel0 by default.
Step 1 checks only that /dev/accel/accel0 exists, and step 2 maps only that node. Linux assigns accel node numbers in device registration order. On a host where another accelerator registers first, the Intel NPU can be a different node, and the NPU detector cannot start.
Suggested fix
-1. Check that `/dev/accel/accel0` exists on your Unraid host. If it is absent, check NPU support and the host driver before continuing.-2. Edit Frigate's container template and add a **Device** mapping from `/dev/accel/accel0` to the same container path.+1. Find the node for the Intel NPU. Run `ls -l /sys/class/accel/*/device/driver` in the **Unraid host terminal**, then find the entry that ends in `intel_vpu`. The `accelN` in that path is your node. If no entry matches, check NPU support and the host driver before continuing.+2. Edit Frigate's container template and add a **Device** mapping from `/dev/accel/accelN` to the same container path, using your node number.

Adds a Frigate setup guide with the companion video and screenshots.
The guide covers camera streams, storage, hardware decoding and object detection, recording retention, zones, exports and private phone access through Tailscale. It includes Intel, NVIDIA, AMD, CPU, NPU and USB Coral options, with NVIDIA model preparation marked as advanced.
The validation statement names the tested Frigate and Unraid versions. NVIDIA and AMD alternatives were checked against documentation rather than tested on the Intel setup.
Checks passed for targeted Remark, image paths, section links, shell command syntax and Git whitespace. The guide was also reviewed in a local Docusaurus development preview. A full production build wasn't run.
