But some of us prefer to skip anything that reeks of complexity or indirection. And docker, while making life simple for people who enjoy working with containers and who spin up a new container/environment/whatever 38 times before lunch, *is* added complexity and indirection.
I *don't* want the ugly to be hidden. I want a frigging shell, a log-file where it is supposed to be, ssh to be working both into and out of my gear. I want to be in charge of the firewall rules. And so on. From this perspective, containers are annoying. It is another thing I didn't want to learn.
But I respect that developers have limited time and bandwidth, and that docker may be a better fit for them. And that it eliminates a lot of issues/tickets/whatever, because the environment is defined by the container.
I found using dockge makes it a lot easier to manage containers can update a container so much faster than any other way I tried.
Interested to know this as well.
I am looking to dive into Frigate NVR to replace my Dahua NVR. I would prefer a standalone device to run Frigate to avoid any unnecessary issues, as CCTV is critical security at my home.
I have purchased a refurb tiny PC for this purpose, but finding it difficult to install Frigate as standalone service.

This is probably one of the main arguments to run it on docker. Especially since it's not meant to run bare.
Why don't you want to use docker?
Not OP.

I never found it while looking and setting up frigate
Also posting to follow since that reddit feature has departed
Option 1: use the official, recommended, documented, and easy to set up method (ie docker), or
Option 2: mess about with a manual installation, create a non-replicable mess of adhoc hacks to achieve a sub-par version of Option 1.
Hmm, tough choice!

I installed it using NixOS and it was easy enough, but I wasn't yet able to make go2rtc work because of a bug in go2rtc
Mind sharing your configuration? I'm currently trying to get Frigate going on NixOS and I'm on the verge of just giving up and using oci-containers.
