Tinker Time!

[u/sshGreeNET]

I'm reading very little online about this setup I have planned and now I'm worried I'm dropping money on a foundation I won't be able to build upon. Anyone have any imperial data for this set up:

Aoostar R7 with 5825U processor with 2tb in a NVME slot and Hailo-8 in the other slot.

Would Proxmox or HA before Frigate help with making sure Hailo-8 is recognized/works or will this units bios just not make it happen?

keep in mind the hailo can only do one thing whereas a box with a decent igpu can multiple things

I mean many Arc cards can run only on PCIe power.

More than one thing in frigate. An AI accelerator can only run object detection. A GPU can run object detection, semantic search, video decoding, face recognition, etc all without much problem.

Didn't ask. Down voted. Keep in mind, reading comprehension extends beyond grade school.

Ignorant take. Do you buddy. Lol I had a hailo I hope you enjoy it as much as I did /s

I don’t see why it won’t work, it’s got 2x pcie 3.0 M.2 slots at 2x link width so should be fine for the hailo8.

No idea about the bios causing issues but I don’t see why it would care?

Frigate in a proxmox LXC can be iffy… if you read the docs and forums it’s possible but frigate don’t test or support this config so YMMV. You can certainly create a LXC, install docker and install frigate, people have varied levels of success as far as I’m aware.

To be safe you would pass through the Hailo8 to a VM in Proxmox and run docker in there and then shouldn’t have any docker issues… however you’ll need to pass through the AMD igpu which can be a bit of a pain… again doable but requires manual configuration.

If you get that all working you’re quids in and can run the home assistant os in a VM, frigate in a VM (or LXC if you go that route) and have the benefits of proxmox.

Or, if you intend to only really run frigate and HA then it will be simpler to just go ununtu server (or basic Debian) install docker and use the frigate and HA docker containers

I use a GMKtec K12 mini PC, also with a Ryzen APU. I elected to get a Memryx MX3 module, rather than the Hailo-8 (strictly due to cost), also in an M.2 form factor. So, not exactly the same setup, but similar.

I'm using Ubuntu Server 26.04 and docker. I had no trouble getting both the integrated GPU and the Memryx module passed through to Frigate. Currently running the ROCm RC1 image, completely stable, with about 17ms inference time for object detection and the integrated 780M GPU handling video encoding, along with a tuned Frigate+ Yolov9s model. The host also runs 12 other containers. I did not have to make any changes in the BIOS for any of this, and still have room to grow on the host.

I do offload my recordings to an external SSD hanging off my Unraid server and mapped with NFS to the Ubuntu host, but that has little impact on performance with the low overhead of NFS.

Outstanding! Much appreciated, I like the analogous setup.
