Welcome to Frigate NVR Updates for the week of January 25th through February 1st, 2026. Six PRs merged, 6 additional commits this week.
Starting with infrastructure improvements, zeroepoch delivered PR 21779, adding networking options for configuring listening ports. This 189-line addition across 18 files introduces a new networking section in configuration, allowing users to change Nginx listening ports and secure unauthenticated ports by binding to localhost. This addresses scenarios with macvlan networks where ports are automatically exposed.
Blake Blackshear merged PR 21808, porting go2rtc source restrictions to master. This security enhancement restricts go2rtc exec sources by default, with accompanying documentation updates explaining the new restrictions.
On the beta release front, hawkeye217 had an active week with multiple miscellaneous fixes. PR 21764 was initially merged, introducing CSS-based reviewed button hover states and updating GitHub copilot instructions to match Home Assistant's format. However, this was quickly reverted in PR 21825, then reapplied with modifications in PR 21826. The final version includes fixes for verified icon overlay in debug view lists and adds classification object debug logs.
Internationalization received attention with Marijn0's PR 21814, fixing missing i18n keys across three web components including ONVIF probe results and model training views.
The additional commits largely mirror the pull request activity, with notable merge activity between master and development branches. The go2rtc security restrictions and networking configuration changes represent significant infrastructure improvements for deployment flexibility and security.
Development momentum continues strong with focus on both user-facing features and underlying infrastructure improvements. The team appears to be preparing for the 0.17 beta release with multiple rounds of fixes and refinements.
That's your Frigate NVR update for this week.
