jetson-frigate

Frigate on Jetson Nano with ffmpeg 4.1.3 NVMPI patches for encoding/decoding hardware acceleration, docker build files and many more.

Install

Enable nvidia container runtime by default

You need use nvidia-container-runtime as explained in docs: "It is also the only way to have GPU access during docker build".

sudo apt-get install nvidia-container-runtime

Edit/create the /etc/docker/daemon.json with content:

{
    "runtimes": {
        "nvidia": {
            "path": "/usr/bin/nvidia-container-runtime",
            "runtimeArgs": []
         } 
    },
    "default-runtime": "nvidia" 
}

Restart docker daemon:

sudo systemctl restart docker

Build your image (now GPU available during build):

docker build -t my_image_name:latest .

Download frigate

git clone https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate.git
cd frigate

Download docker build files and replace them

git clone https://github.com/e1z0/jetson-frigate.git
rm -rf docker Makefile
mv jetson-frigate/docker .
mv jetson-frigate/Makefile .

Build ffmpeg and frigate

First you need to build ffmpeg with jetson nano support patches

make jetson_ffmpeg

Now you can build frigate itself

make jetson_frigate

After that you will have frigate:latest docker image.
