Frigate: Kubernetes edition

This is a follow up to my ‘Frigate From Scratch’ post. Most of that post is still relevant today but I have since moved almost all of my workloads into Kubernetes.

This post is intended to document some of the issues I hit while trying to get Frigate running in my k8s cluster. This is not every issue I hit, just the ones that are not directly related to my specific environment/setup/workflows.

Updates in 2025

In early 2025, I began moving virtually all of my workloads into a k8s cluster. I have put some basic notes on frigate in k8s here.

Beyond that, the section below about installing the coral.ai edge TPU drivers is now out of date and has been revised.

The Frigate NVR project is a relatively new entrant to the home security camera DVR space. Like most immature yet popular software, it has a killer feature - very good object detection that just works™ and robust Home Assistant integration.
