The following is a quick dump of what I did to get a Frigate docker container running inside a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS VM hosted on my Hyper-V server. The VM has access to & shares the hosts GPU, an Intel ARC A380. I’ve combined these steps from a few different places including: Easy-GPU-PV, a Reddit thread and a Github gist.
