Hopefully someone can help me out, I’m using truenas scale 24.10.
Ryzen 5 5600G
96GB RAM
I used the discover apps tab and installed Frigate almost a year ago when 0.13.2 was the version available. Everything worked perfect with 4 cameras recording for 6 months and only using like 5-10% CPU and 5-15% GPU. (I didnt use any detection just 24/7 recording).
When version 0.14 released i updated and launched frigate to find that it would crash after 5 mins. I figured there was some issue with the update so i rolled back to 0.13.2 and everything with fine again for 4 month.
0.15 releases so i try and update to it and it keeps crashing just like 0.14 so i research and find out i should try and increase the shm_size: “64mb” to 512. I do and it stops crashing and is actually working now… However the container is using like 40-60% CPU.
So i decide to roll back again to 0.13.2 but that option is no longer available in the drop down menu only 0.14… I attempted to setup frigate via yaml install and it only crashes. I have 5 containers installed via yaml with no issues.
Is there anyway to add the 0.13.2 release back into the truenas drop down menu pool? i dont care if i have to redo the configuration file from scatch or could i cheat and just rename the 0.13.2 docker file to 0.15?
No. I went through an identical process with the same degree of pain and failed.
However - I am now using the official app which supplies frigate version v0.15.0 and it is running well. If you search my various posts here you’ll see that I set up using host paths rather than iX and this allows me to ssh into the subdir with the actual config.yaml in it. I then start with a sparse fresh config (not the one from 0.13.2 because there are too many changes in later versions).
After some effort I now have something working very well with acceptable CPU burden (33%). This is using a Xeon E3-1265L V2 @ 2.50GHz and 16 GB of RAM.
If you are still stuck after seeing my various posts here and also at the Frigate github discussion pages, please update this thread and I will see if I can help directly. I think you’ll be able to end up with 0.15 running in a stable manner with not too much CPU consumption.
I was about to follow one of your posts E_B when i noticed there was an update for frigate to 0.15.1. So i gave it shot because why not and everything works again. 8% CPU, 3% GPU and recording normally… Must of been some unknown issue i guess.
