[QUESTION] Running Frigate on VM that in turn runs on Proxmox (lemmy.ml)

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?

You can passthru the GPU hardware to a qemu VM on proxmox. Proxmox itself will not get in your way, because proxmox is just an administative helper for qemu there. The setup for this passthru is a qemu thing.

I don't know if the same kind of passthru is possible to a docker container.

Pass thru is in fact possible in docker. The example compose for Frigate has an entry that specifically passes the Coral device through to the container. I use this exact setup. Also, docker is not a VM
