Introduction

I've tried many different apps to monitor my security camera, but i keep on comming back to Frigate and it's free.

  • I found the UI of Shinobi counter-intuitive. Also the live-stream was very much delayed. I chose to switch to Frigate again when the Testflight-period expired of the Shinobi-iOS app.

Create container

  1. I used the TTeck Docker script to create the container with: bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/ct/docker.sh)"
  2. During the script i chose "Debian 12", hostname "frigate", disable ipv6
  3. I also chose to make the container "Privileged". This as i intend to give the container access to my GPU.
  4. I also had to choose the option "enabled fuse OverlayFS". This as my Proxmox host is using ZFS.
  5. I choose NOT to install "Portainer" or the "Portainer agent"
  6. I chose to install "Docker Compose"

Bind mounts

  1. Stop the created container
  2. Make a directory for storage on the proxmox host via the Proxmox shell: mkdir /root/frigate
  3. Also in the Proxmox shell configure the mount for storage on the container: pct set 211 -mp0 /root/frigate,mp=/cctv_clips
  4. Add an mount to passthrough the GPU: nano /etc/pve/lxc/211.conf
  5. Add the following line: lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dri/renderD128 dev/dri/renderD128 none bind,optional,create=file 0, 0. I also had to add the environment variable "LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME" in the docker-compose.yaml file. This to allow my AMD Ryzen 4800H CPU to hardware accelerate video processing.
  6. I chose to remove mounting of USB-devices from the LXC configuration file. This as i will not use that.
  7. Choose to start the container with: pct start 211

Install Frigate

  1. Via the Proxmox Web-UI open the console of the created container
  2. In the console, run: cd /opt
  3. Create a docker compose file: nano docker-compose.yaml and put this in this file
version: '3.9'

services:

  frigate:
    container_name: frigate
    privileged: true
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable
    shm_size: "128mb"
    devices:
      - /dev/dri/renderD128
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /opt/frigate/config:/config:ro
      - /cctv_clips:/media/frigate
      - type: tmpfs
        target: /tmp/cache
        tmpfs:
          size: 1000000000
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
      - "1935:1935" # RTMP feeds
    environment:
      FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD: "myPassword"
      LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME: "radeonsi"

Continue

  1. Run: mkdir -p /opt/frigate/config
  2. Run: cd /opt
  3. Run: docker compose pull
  4. Run: nano /opt/frigate/config/config.yml
  5. Put this in the file:
mqtt:
  enabled: false
ffmpeg:
  hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi

    type: edgetpu
    device: usb

          roles:

          roles:
            - detect
    detect:
      width: 480
      height: 360
      fps: 24
  1. Run: docker compose pull -d

Based on:

Todo: I suspect this also needs to be added to the 211.conf file:

lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 226:128 rwm
