Hey All,

I am not sure if this is the right place for me to be.
I have a Dell Optiplex 3060-NTF6G MFF with proxmox running on it, with several VM/LXC
One is a VM with Home Assistant OS and another is a LXC with Frigate on it.
I wish to use a Coral TPU for the detection, so I can use this further into home assistant automations.

I am able to get a Dual Edge TPU for a fair price from a friend, but I have read various results of the combo of teh TPU Dual Edge and my Optiplex model.
This as I will be using it in the "wlan" m.2 slot.

anybody has experience with this?

Have you tried if OpenVino is already enough for you?

Share it later when on a real PC. I'd recommend you use a recent version though.

#

Yea i know.
I run it on a proxmox lxc (with the script, most recent with it is 0.14)
Or do you think of another way?

#

A CT is fine. Old versions are not necessarily.

#

I run mine via docker in a CT. Not generally a recommendation but it works.

#

Yea so make for example a ubuntu vm.
And then run docker compose in it?

#

I use debian but sure. Not a fan of the helper/community scripts.

woeful salmon Sep 1, 2025, 5:49 AM

#

Yea understandable. Thought this qas the best as it doesnr use docker

#

But regard8ng the orignal question.
Im able to buy the dual edge for 20 euro.
But would that even qork

#

I'm not sure. I'm guessing if it will work you only have access to one TPU.

#

Yea thought so too. But some report they wonr connect at all
