If MQTT isn't working in docker try using the IP of the device hosting the MQTT server instead of `localhost`, `127.0.0.1`, or `mosquitto.ix-mosquitto.svc.cluster.local`.
This is because, by default, Frigate does not run in host mode so localhost points to the Frigate container and not the host device's network.
### Where can I find the log files generated by Frigate?
Frigate doesn't store log files directly. Instead, it uses Docker to manage logs. To view these logs, follow these steps:
* Open a terminal or command prompt on the host running your Frigate container.
* Type the following command and press Enter:
```
docker logs -f frigate
```
This command tells Docker to show you the logs from the Frigate container.
Note: If you've given your Frigate container a different name, replace "frigate" in the command with your container's actual name. The "-f" option means the logs will continue to update in real-time as new entries are added. To stop viewing the logs, press `Ctrl+C`.
