Bulk upload to frigate+

[rbjoensen]

hi and thanks for the great work
i run frigate on a vlan that does not have access to the internet.
when i have to update my host or frigate/docker i have a firewall rule that is activated temporarily, which gives the frigate host access to the internet.
but since i use frigate+ and want to upload images to eventually build my own model, it is very impractical that it does not have internet.

is it possible to add images that may end up in its own folder and when it then gets internet it does a bulk upload of the images that are in the folder, so that i can continuously add images to frigate+ and when it then has internet it sends them to frigate+.
hope that makes sense.

I don't know if this really makes sense, multiple API calls are made to Frigate+ when an image is submitted so we would essentially have to save all data needed (to avoid case where snapshot expires) in a folder, and continually check for when internet access is available.

uploading images could be a button "add to frigate+ now"
And I think there are many who don't want their nvr exposed to the internet, but instead use a vpn. Which I also think is best practice.
It was just a thought

Being able to use Frigate+ doesn't require the NVR to be exposed to the internet, it just requires itself to have access to the internet.

To me it just seems like a lot of extra complication and things to manage, bugs that can happen, etc. for something that as a user you could work around with exceptions or adjusted behavior.

I am only one maintainer though and @blakeblackshear maintains Frigate+ so will defer on if this makes sense or not

I would say it's something we could consider if enough users request it, so maybe someday.

I'm in the same boat and I believe it is causing issues with me trying to pull new models... move to yolov9. Are there certain ports needed to be allowed to communicate with the domain?
