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. 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`.
