With one low res camera I ran it in a Debian vm with 4gb of Ram and two cores no problem. Once I had three 4K streams, I bumped it up to 16gb and 10 cores, only cause I wanted a hi-res live view, but I’m sure it would do fine with less with low res live view. Have been running it in a vm for two years now, no issues. Tried a bare metal install and lxc. Keep coming back to vm for the adaptability. Adding GPU and npu through lxc always made issues for me, but passing through to a vm is pretty well supported and documented, I think the ease of use outweighs the additional resources used by the vm. Plus I have read it’s not best practice to run docker inside an lxc.
Comment on My first seccam, now the Frigate mystery in LXC
trilobite@lemmy.ml 2 weeks agoOk, 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

LXCs are more an alternative to VMs if your use-case supports it.
Docker is its own thing with pre-made application images.
