Hi, just moved my setup to new pc with nvidia and struggling for the last few days with set it up.....
Frigate starts but is keep reseting itself in loop.......... ;(

Installation on proxmox in LXC container

Thanks in advance for any support!!!

Based on the error logs showing pthread_setaffinity_np failed errors, your issue is related to running Frigate in an LXC container on Proxmox with Nvidia hardware acceleration(1).

The key problems I can identify:

1. LXC Container Configuration

Your LXC container needs proper device passthrough for Nvidia. Based on similar setups, you need to add these lines to your LXC container configuration file (typically /etc/pve/lxc/<VMID>.conf)(2):

lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 195:* rwm
lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 511:* rwm
lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 236:* rwm
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/nvidia0 dev/nvidia0 none bind,optional 0 0
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/nvidiactl dev/nvidiactl none bind,optional 0 0
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/nvidia-modeset dev/nvidia-modeset none bind,optional 0 0
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/nvidia-uvm dev/nvidia-uvm none bind,optional 0 0
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/nvidia-uvm-tools dev/nvidia-uvm-tools none bind,optional 0 0
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/nvidia-caps dev/nvidia-caps none bind,optional,create=dir 0 0

(2)

2. Docker Compose Configuration

For the -tensorrt image with Nvidia GPUs, your compose file should use the nvidia runtime(3):

services:
  frigate:
    runtime: nvidia
    environment:
      - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all
      - NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all

(3)

3. Hardware Acceleration Configuration

For Nvidia GPUs using the TensorRT image, the correct ffmpeg configuration is(3):

ffmpeg:
  hwaccel_args: preset-nvidia

(3)

4. Detector Configuration

For the ONNX detector with Nvidia GPU in the -tensorrt image, the GPU will be automatically detected and used(4). Your detector configuration looks correct, but ensure you're using the right image tag.

The pthread_setaffinity_np errors suggest the container doesn't have proper access to CPU thread affinity settings within the LXC environment. This is a known issue when running in LXC containers(1).

Recommended next steps:

Add the LXC configuration entries above to your container config
Restart the LXC container
Verify Nvidia devices are accessible inside the container with nvidia-smi
Ensure you're using ghcr.io/blakeblackshear/frigate:stable-tensorrt image(3)

Hi
Check few top lines:

343816941 [E:onnxruntime:Default, env.cc:234 ThreadMain] pthread_setaffinity_np failed for thread: 1173, index: 19, mask: {20, 44, }, error code: 22 error msg: Invalid argument. Specify the number of threads explicitly so the affinity is not set.

Frigate starts, runs for a few seconds while cameras getting loaded and reboots.

those log lines are completely harmless, just something caused by running proxmox. You'll need to get the logs from the restart so we can see why that happens

see below:

Your model file does not exist at that location

upssss....
any guide how to add it? please...

or should i use with my nvidia below conf:

detectors:
tensorrt:
type: tensorrt
device: 0 #This is the default, select the first GPU

model:
path: /config/model_cache/tensorrt/yolov7-320.trt
labelmap_path: /labelmap/coco-80.txt
input_tensor: nchw
input_pixel_format: rgb
width: 320 # MUST match the chosen model i.e yolov7-320 -> 320, yolov4-416 -> 416
height: 320 # MUST match the chosen model i.e yolov7-320 -> 320 yolov4-416 -> 416

Ok.
I setup yolo v9....

My Logs looks like that now:

New Logs.txt

Still "E:onnxruntime:Default, env.cc:234 ThreadMain]"

Your logs look fine now, object detection should be working.

The other messages about pthread_setaffinity_np are harmless, as @NickM-27 already said. Some other Proxmox users have found ways to mitigate them here: #15351
