  • My first seccam, now the Frigate mystery in LXC

    Jump

  • Ok, I hadn't realised that the helper script installs docker. I thought LXC was an alternative to docker.

    Regarding the VM option, I did think of doing just that but read a lot about it using too many resources with frigate and LXC seems to be more efficient option when it comes to resources

  • OK, I should have been clearer. With "community LXC repository on github" I actually meant that I used the LXC scripts. It did go through a few questions at the start but nothing relating to storage and camera setup.

  • That is brilliant. Thanks. I haven't read this all yet looks like what I need.

  • What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

  • Immich and Radicale definitely recommended. I've still got paperless-ng and plan to move to paperless-ngx as soon as I find the time. I've also got firefly-iii which is a big revolution to how I manage personal finance. Even my 17 old son has got into it ... He couldn't understand where all his hard earnings were going.

  • [QUESTION] Running Frigate on VM that in turn runs on Proxmox

    Jump

  • Looks like I have two options for Proxmox + Frigate:

    a) full VM via a QEMU VM that then has Frigate as app container (Frigate website is not recommending this approach from what I understand)

    b) Virtual environment (VE) thgrough the "Proxmox Container Toolkit" where Frigate is as a system container (i.e. docker container directly in the Proxmox environment, which eliminates the VM overhead. See here: https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#chapter_pct

    Looks like someone has got it up and running in the PCT environment https://www.homeautomationguy.io/blog/running-frigate-on-proxmox

    Also, I need to get my hands on a Micro desktop with a PCIe slot so that I can stick the Coral unit in it. Any thoughts for cheap solutions on eBay?

  • Looking for a self-hosted alternative to the Canary (home security)

    Jump

  • I'm on the same wagon, trying to get a home surveilance system up and running. I too have settled on Frigate and probably Amcrest cameras (which models are recommended besides the one listed on Frigate website?). But a also want to install motion sensors in the house and door magnetic switches. Using openhab. What setup would you recommend in terms of hardware? And is there an Alarmo type setup in openhab?

  • A good compromise between cost, integration and reliability

    Jump

  • Ah yes, thanks for raising. I had forgotten. So we have three Foss contenders:

    • Frigate
    • Motioneye
    • Zoneminder

    I've only tried ME about 6 years ago with RPi camera. It was alright but I'm sure things have moved on.

    Jump

  • Thankyou for taking the time to explain. I was in fact going to get one Loryta cameras recomended by the Frigate website ... If i can even find it in EU. Don't want to pay the premium import taxes 😉

  • A good compromise between cost, integration and reliability

    Jump

  • Are you able to expand? What exactly did not impress you? Motioneye (which I briefly used 3-4 years ago with a dodge camera) and Frigate seem to be those that are used mostly as OOS solutions and hooked up to either OpenHab or HA.

  • Yip, I already have pfSense installed with an isolated virtual network just for my home automation.

  • As I'm thinking of getting HA to look after my IP cameras with Frigate, I'm thinking of a mini PC wiht a PCIe Coral device installed. Would this make sense and are there others doing this i.e. have HA on a miniPC with Cora PCIe installed and Frigate on top?

  • Why is privacy a luxury

    Jump

  • But setting up a VPN on a VPS is not really going to do much for privacy is it? It wouldn't take much to work out who is renting the VPS and the VPS has no incentive to hold back any info if a they were issued a search warrant.

    Feels like it becoming more and more challenging living on the Internet without leaving breadcrumbs all over the place.

  • The problem with many of these apps is that when you go looking for them on fdroid they are not there. Example in the above list is YouTube Revanced.

  • GrapheneOS can make a difference here I would say. As long as a you don't fill it with loads of crappy socials apps. These are the real killers.

  • Sound like a great journey you have taken. Well done. I did more or less the same transition, except iPhone bit , and using the same apps you use. This difference is that it took me 10 years to complete this journey in full but that reflect my age more than anything else. Gen X
