Sidehistorik
So, I purchased an older MacBook from work - that has been my own for 4 year, and was specced well with SSD.
Preparing the Firmware/T2
got hands on a older MacBook and it seemed fit according to the Recommended Hardware.
Also, I am equipped with 4 Reolink Cams and a Coral stick, but I have not used any Reolink specifics from Camera Specific Configuration.
And of cause, I have a Home Assistant installation running.

Preparing the MacBook Firmware/T2
I had some problems with removing the activation lock and even do an Internet recovery (that just failed with 1008F Error)I has some problems with removing activation lock and even do an Internet recovery. but when the MACOS finally was cleanly installed, make sure to enable USB Boot, as this:
Installing Ubuntu
I had a lot of trouble actually getting the danm thing to boot, but on a stick with Ubuntu 22.04 (used Balena Etcher), it finally did.
But, the Mac Keyboard was not working, but I got hold of an eternal keyboard - and that worked.
I had a lot of problemes getting to use the disk, several times the installer just crashed and restarted, and or stopped with "Intallaling Installing grub on taget device failed"
But I finally gut got the installer to remove all partitions and install, with the "Use customer custom partitions" option - make sure to whipe and erasa erase all partitions on the disk.
After the install af the "df -h" command told me that only 100 GB of the disk was used used - I have no clue why the installer sets it up this way..
But the fix was easy - first examine the LVM:

So, Ubuntu is installed and the complete SSD Disk installed.
Docker install
Lets install docker.io:
Kodeblok |
---|
apt install docker.io |
Frigate NVR Install
Tip |
---|
First, I put all docker stuff in /opt |
so:
Kodeblok |
---|
mkdir /opt/frigate
vi /opt/frigate/config |
The config file can be huge, here is my current:
Ubuntu is installed and the complete SSD Disk is now utilized.
Docker install
Lets install docker.io:
Kodeblok |
---|
apt install docker.io |
Frigate NVR Install
Find information on Frigate here
Tip |
---|
First, I generally put all docker stuff in /opt - and I dont use docker-compose very much. Maybee one day... |
Creating the needed Directory and the config file:
Kodeblok |
---|
mkdir /opt/frigate
vi /opt/frigate/config |
The config file can be huge and there are plenty of options, here is my current:

Now we can start Frigate:

This should start Frigate and show it on http://10.0.0.164:5000:
If the interface is not up, troubleshoot the logs with:

Coral Stick on Linux
I had some problems getting the Coral stick to work (the Frigate docker image has all needed for it), but it did not show up as an Device on the MacBook:
