Building the image

[KillahB33]

I have similar issues as the other guys so I am in the process of pulling the image you have uploaded. So I got yours running which is fantastic! (huge thank you there) but wanted to contribute back to the original project so it's available for others, so trying to figure out how we can do that cause based on what I saw it was only ffmpeg that changed but please correct me if I am wrong.

Want to make this config stuff public though cause that's the most frustrating thing right now.

docker-compose.yaml

version: "3.8"
services:
  frigate:
    container_name: frigate
    privileged: true # this may not be necessary for all setups
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: nulldevil/frigate

    deploy:
      resources:
        reservations:

              - gpu
    shm_size: '1000mb'

      - type: tmpfs # Optional: 1GB of memory, reduces SSD/SD Card wear
        target: /tmp/cache
        tmpfs:
          size: 1000000000
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
      - "1935:1935" # RTMP feeds
    environment:
      - FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD="********"
      - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all
      - NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,video,utility

config.yaml (just doing this part cause everything else is standard)

  coral:
    type: edgetpu
    device: pci
ffmpeg:
  hwaccel_args:
    - -c:v h264_nvmpi

Ok so this is weird, even though it's working correctly now I am still getting 0% usage on GPU in JTOP Just checked again and although it's 0% looks like it's not actually 0 hz but it's pretty minimal, was expecting GPU to get hit more.

This ffmpeg does not use GPU as such it uses a dedicated decoder chip for decoding videos like nvidia GPU cards do
