Setting Up Frigate in ProxMox

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

I have been using Frigate for a couple years now as my NVR and for camera alerting. It’s been great to use but also frustrating at times to set up. It’s gotten better over the years, but it’s still not user-friendly and definitely not something you should set up for your parents or grandparents.

I used to run Frigate in Unraid, but I recently dropped it in favor of TrueNAS for performance reasons. With this, an opportunity arose to migrate Frigate into my ProxMox virtual environment. The benefit of doing this would mean I can easily back up my frigate environment, I can migrate it to another machine if it fails, and I can easily test configs without worrying about losing my current config.

I have been running a hodgepodge homelab with a mix of enterprise hardware and consumer-grade mini PCs, and it has been challenging to monitor all of my hardware directly within PVE. I am fortunate that my wife lets me run wild in the utility room, but when the OPNsense router goes down, I end up with an upset wife and no internet — which is understandable since she works from home.
