Hi, I want to get Frigate installed on DELL Optiplex 3020. Given its a Intel Gen4 i5, I suspect I would be asking too much if I installed it on a VM that is running on Proxmox? From the Frigate website “Frigate runs best with Docker installed on bare metal Debian-based distributions. For ideal performance, Frigate needs low overhead access to underlying hardware for the Coral and GPU devices. Running Frigate in a VM on top of Proxmox, ESXi, Virtualbox, etc. is not recommended though some users have had success with Proxmox.”. Anyone had any luck getting it up and running on a VM?
“VE” is just the product name of Proxmox’s virtual machine platform, afaik it’s not a technology you can use “in proxmox”. PVE always uses QEMU-KVM virtual machines when it manages a virtual machine.
The other thing PVE can manage is LXC containers.
I haven’t used the LXC part of PVE yet, but frigate it runs relatively fine on CPU here in a VM, as I don’t have devices useful for acceleration. But if you are ready to delve into LXC that could be better performance-wise.
