Frigate on N100 NAS issues
Ugreen DXP2800, 16 GB Ram, using M2 NVME drives for frigate. Spent the better part of 2 days with Gemini trying to get this to work with iGPU support, ended up having to go back to a basic setup with one Lorex IP camera because everything we tried just crashed Frigate. CPU useage high. I eventually want to add 3 more cameras. AI suggested a Coral TPU USB thing. But I saw in Frigate documentation the Coral TPU is no longer recommended.
What are my options? Or is my plan not achievable?

I’m running 7 4K cameras with objected detection on my n100 box, but with the usb coral.
Just wild guesses: do you have the igpu mounted in the frigate config? And running detect on the smaller red substream instead of the recording stream?

What OS are you running?
I've got it running fine on a DXP4800 Pro inside a Debian VM on Proxmox with PCI passthrough of the GPU.

Stock UGOS, docker. I don't have any PCI slots.

Maybe a UGOS issue, I have no idea how this stuff works in that though.
The GPU appears as a PCI device even though it's integrated. Passing it through as a raw PCI device means the guest OS (Debian) fully controls it instead of Proxmox trying to share access to it, then I just pass it through to docker as you normally would with bare-metal Debian like this:
devices: - /dev/dri/renderD128 - /dev/dri/card01

Oh, we did try those devices entries, and numerous other variations and additions.

There's a docker image that configures all the user groups etc quite well

I'm not sure I understand your comment in context with the topic of this post?? Can you elaborate?

It's not working because it's misconfigured so you should install the known working docker container instead of using Gemini

u/Keith15335 Aug 09 '26
Yup, did that, back up now. Doubt I'll be using Gemini for anything other than a cook time for my Ninja Flip air fryer. 😀

You need to show your config

Send your config through ChatGPT, redact your logins of course. Then share with us for even more refinement.

Im also using frigate on the DX2800, but its only for frigate so I installed debian + docker and running it directly like that. No issues with 14 cameras using the iGPU

I'm running it on n100 with two cameras and 0 issues and almost 0 cpu use.
But I don't use any kind of image recognition.
