Get Frigate working (with Coral TPU)
geerlingguy opened this issue · 8 comments
I would like to see if I can get Frigate working well... it seems to have a lot of momentum, especially around GPU or TPU-accelerated use.
They have a suggested Docker Compose setup: https://docs.frigate.video/frigate/installation
It looks like they have arm64 images available, yay! https://hub.docker.com/r/blakeblackshear/frigate/tags
Downside to Coral support—only the USB Coral module will work with the Raspberry Pi currently (see notes: https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/cards_m2/coral-accelerator-ae-key.html).
The M.2 PCIe versions won't work because of driver issues with the CM4 PCIe bus.
But could still be a good option, we'll see. I might need to use a different CM4 IO board than the one I'm currently using (BitPiRat) so I can have a USB 2.0 interface.
I have it running:
However, nothing happens, and if I go to docker logs, I see:

Off to https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/index I go!
MQTT's auth is a bit annoying. You have to manually create user / password pairs if you want to do that, after the mosquitto container is running...
Things are mostly working, but MQTT is not starting up correctly because I don't have the automated hashing of the user/pass pair working correctly yet. I might do something like install mqtt client on the managed server (or run it in a Docker container temporarily or something), just to encrypt the auth file passwords.
It's a bit annoying but might be doable. Just didn't want to have to add in more mqtt-specific tasks in the playbook.
