Prepping nvidia drivers for Frigate Running in Docker inside LXC on Proxmox

nospam@example.com (Raymond P. Burkholder) — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 02:34:23 +0000

Not having the desire to put frigate on a standalone server of some sort, I wanted it to run as a container in Proxmox. Since Frigate is supplied as a Docker container, and I don't want to run Docker directly on the Proxmox host, there are two choices open to me:

run Frigate in a virtual machine - prevents sharing an Nvidia card with other machines or containers, or
run Frigate in an LXC or an OCI container - an Nvidia card can be shared with multiple containers, and resource requirements are reduced, at the risk of security issues (which are reduced if the host is a private server)

I'm running on Proxmox 9.1.9 with kernel SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PMX 6.17.13-4 (2026-04-21T22:03Z) x86_64 GNU/Linux

This installation is a privileged container as I had troubles with non-privileged. I'll have to come back to this based upon: Running in rootless LXC, and maybe require the user id mapping from Unprivileged LXC containers.

Some installation commands, based upon connecting Frigate to an Nvidia GPU. Some instructions come from Installing the NVIDIA Container Toolkit, which is required for connecting to the Nvidia GPU (commands assume sudo or running as root, which is default in a basic LXC container). The link contains installation, testing and troubleshooting instructions.

z t: move screen and cursor to top line
z b: move screen and cursor to bottom line
ctrl-u: screen and cursor up 1/2 page
ctrl-d: screen and cursor down 1/2 page
ctrl-b: screen and cursor up one page
ctrl-f: screen and cursor down one page

Go:

G: last line of file
nG: nth line of file, with 1 for first line of file
g-: backwards in edits
g+: forwards in edits
:earlier 50s: to back 50 seconds
:earlier nf: back n file writes
%: jump to matching bracket
:help undo-persistence

Select:

shift v: select lines

Search:

/: forward search
?: backwards search
n: next occurrence
N: next occurrence, opposite direction

\c : append to search to ignore case

Change:

cw: change to next word
cc: change entire line
c$: delete to end of line, start insert mode
C: delete to end of line, start insert mode
ci”: change inside parentheses
ca”: change around parentheses
cfx: change until next found occurrence of x
:%s/search/replace/gc

Delete:

d$ - delete to end of line
D - delete to end of line

Marks:

mx tells Vim to add a mark called x.
`x tells Vim to return to the line and column for mark x.
'x tells Vim to return to the beginning of the line where mark x is set.
`. moves the cursor to the line and column where the last edit was made.
'. moves the cursor to the line where the last edit was made.
'" moves the cursor to the last position of the cursor when you exited the previous session.
:marks shows all marks set.
:marks x shows the mark named x.

Jumps:

:jumps shows the jumplist.
Ctrl-o moves the cursor to the last jump.
Ctrl-i moves the cursor to the previous jump.

Windows:

ctrl-w s: split horizontally (or :split, :sp)
ctrl-w v: split vertically (or :vertical split, :vs)
ctrl-w w: switch between windows
ctrl-w h, j, k, l: to navigate windows
ctrl-w _: maximize current window
ctrl-w =: equal size all windows
10 ctrl-w +: increase window size by 10 lines
ctrl-w c: close window
ctrl-w o: close all windows but current
:sp <filepath>: split window horizontally with another file
:vs split window vertically

Tabs:

:tabe <filepath>: open file
:tabn - next window
:tabp - previous window
ctrl-w with arrow: move windows
gt: jump next tab
gT: jump previous tab
<n>gt: jump to specific tab
:e .: start browsing in tab
w: next
W: previous
<n>gt: index of tab to jump

Column Insertion (full vim needs to be installed, won't work with vim.tiny):

from stack overflow:

move to the position
column visual mode: ctl-v
select column and row range
column insert mode: shift-i
perform insertion
finish: esc

Scrolling and line numbers in .vimrc file:

set scrolloff=5

" http://jeffkreeftmeijer.com/2013/vims-new-hybrid-line-number-mode/
set relativenumber
set number

" http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/5310/how-can-i-disable-bells-visualbells-in-vim
set visualbell
set t_vb=

Kind of related, but using 'screen' to split windows (from StackExchange:

split vertically: ctrl-a, |
split horizontally: ctrl-a, S
unsplit: ctrl-a, Q
switch windows: ctrl-a, tab
go to new region: ctrl-a, c
new terminal (new bash prompt): ctrl-a, c
next terminal: ctrl-a, space
nth terminal: ctrl-a, -n-
switch terminals: ctrl-a, "

:set paste - don't insert tabs or spaces during insert
:set nopaste - opposite of above Auto Indent for code paste
alternate paste:
- :set noai - turn off auto indent
- :set ai - turn on auto indent
:setl noai nocin nosi inde= - no auto-indent on current file

LibreOffice locking up when using File/Open/Save Dialog

nospam@example.com (Raymond P. Burkholder) — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 01:02:06 +0000

Some say this happens due to Wayland usage. My usage is Wayland/X11, not that it may make a difference. It is that way because I like that fact that the windows of an application get placed back to where they were when the application is re-opened.

The solution appears to be:

Tools -> Options -> General -> Enable 'Use LibreOffice dialogs'
