Adding Hardware Acceleration to a new install

[yourpalfranc]

On an i7-6700K I tried enabling hardware acceleration to a new install with 1 working camera by adding

name_of_your_camera:
ffmpeg:
inputs: ...
hwaccel_args: preset-vaapi

to my config. When I restarted Frigate, my working camera didn't display an image.

I don't seem to be able to add another camera without some sort of graphics support, and so far, I've been unable to get my Coral to work.

I'm totally new to Docker, so to install hardware acceleration, do I edit the docker-compose.yml file and add the code from the Getting Started documentation??

version: "3.9"
services:
frigate:
...
devices:
- /dev/dri/renderD128 # for intel hwaccel, needs to be updated for your hardware
...

Or, do I create a new docker-compose.yml file with only this code and then run docker compose up -d from the folder where docker-compose.yml resides?

Yes, just edit your existing docker-compose file to add the /dev/dri/renderD128 device, and then rerun docker compose up -d.

Seemed to have worked. No errors. I'll try adding more cameras later. Thank you!
