Frigate without Docker

Installation

Default install:

1

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Mati-l33t/frigate-proxmox/main/ct/frigate.sh)"
CPU: 4 cores RAM: 4096 MB Disk: 20 GB OS: Debian 12

Notes

  • No Docker — Frigate runs natively as a systemd service inside an LXC container
  • AVX auto-detection — automatically selects the correct object detector based on your CPU
    • CPUs with AVX (Intel Sandy Bridge 2011+): OpenVino hardware-accelerated detector
    • CPUs without AVX (e.g. Xeon X5650, older Westmere): CPU/TFLite detector — no crashes
  • Automatic device passthrough — detects and configures GPU and Coral TPU automatically
  • Dual-port access — authenticated web UI on port 8971, unauthenticated internal access on port 5000
  • Default & Advanced install modes — simple one-click defaults or full control over every setting
  • Built-in update utility — run update inside the container to upgrade Frigate
  • Clean MOTD — shows hostname, IP, and access URLs on every login

Web Interface

Port: 8971
