Frigate Install

[harsh folio]

I'm having a hard time with a visual representation of how Frigate and HA interact.
I have my HA running on a Pi4 and don not have Frigate installed yet. I have a Beelink S12 Pro NUC dedicated for use. Should I install Frigate on the NUC, or should I run Linux docker on the NUC with Home Assistant and a Frigate docker, or should I have HA on the NUC and run the Frigate integration???

install proxmox on the beelink.
run HAOS in a VM on proxmox
run frigate in a LXC on proxmox

put RPI away for another project in the future

this is how I run my setup

Thank you very much! On Frigate can I configure it to save video to the NAS? beelink is only 500G SSD and in the NAS I have a 14TB Surveillance drive volume for video

yeah you can mount storage on proxmox and then have it appear inside the frigate LXC

my setup has an external drive plugged into the system which is mounted in proxmox then used proxmox to mount it inside the frigate LXC. doing this with a nerwork drive will be pretty easy

my main network storage is pretty full and i had an old external laying around so decided to make use of it for frigate

Terrific...never used promox but am very familiar with docker but will try the promox route since I keep hearing a lot about it. With using this method, how does HA integrate with Frigate...just the HACS integration?

[sharp rover]

yup

Thanks for your time, appreciate the information!

once you have proxmox you can use the community helper scripts to set stuff up
HAOS on VM
docker on a LXC (then install frigate on that docker)

this script is worth running after install before setting up the vm/LXC too as it neatens things up
