A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm looking into self hosted and open source nvr options and frigate looks like the right fit for me. I'm curious what hardware others are running it on and how many cameras they have. How many people are running it in home assistsnt?

The hardware isn't super important if you can get a Google Coral TPU. You can run Frigate on a Raspberry Pi that way. Without the TPU, it can be fairly CPU intensive.

I run Frigate on an old laptop and before the TPU it would run really hot. After it runs much cooler.

Same, old laptop 8th gen Intel i7, TPU, Hass and multiple other dockers including wyze bridge with 6 cheap wyze cameras.
