As recommended by Frigate, I use a Coral AI Accelerator to do object detection on my home video feeds. Unfortunately the instructions on the official coral.ai page have out of date drivers which do not work on recent kernels such as the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS HWE kernel or the kernel included with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
There are a few conversations dealing with this issue:
- https://github.com/google-coral/edgetpu/issues/808
- https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/update-error-with-coral-tpu-drivers.136888/
However I didn’t want to install all the required development packages on my Homelab server which almost exclusivly runs Containers or VMs so I put a Docker file together which does the build for you. It can be found on my GitHub.
