    I use Frigate and HomeAssistant, they are on different hosts and the only port allowed from Frigate to HomeAssistant is the non-auth api port. For normal users using Frigate, I use an Oauth2-proxy instance on the same host (same compose) as Frigate tied to a third host with keycloak. go2rtc is on the Frigate host, but it only talks to Frigate and the cameras themselves. You can also access go2rtc from outside if you want to access the streams directly but your HomeAssistant does not need too. I find that this is better than the cameras directly as the processing is not really meant for a whole bunch of streams at once.

    I followed docs for the HomeAssistant to Frigate stuff with the GIF notifications and it is working fine. I also use the Frigate integration (using HACS) so maybe there is a lot done for me.
