How to Self-Host All Kinds of Apps (and Why You Should)

So many of the apps we use every day are privacy nightmares. There’s an alternative to letting a corporation sell your data, though: Host it yourself. Here’s how.

Been experimenting with #FrigateNVR on the @radxa Rock 5T, leveraging the RK3588 NPU — and it just works. 😃

Real-time object detection with super low CPU usage. 🚀

Warum der ganze Kram mit Cloud-Überwachung? 🤔 Ich hab meine Kamera mit Frigate NVR ersetzt und kann sagen: lokale Objekterkennung rockt! 🏠🔒 Wer braucht schon Zufallsgenerierte Werbung und Daten in fremden Händen? Wie sieht's bei dir aus – vertraust du der Cloud oder setzt du auf lokale Lösungen? #SmartHome #Datenschutz #FrigateNVR

Wer braucht schon die Cloud für Videoüberwachung, wenn Du mit Frigate Deine eigene, zuverlässige Lösung im Smart Home bauen kannst? 🚀 Privacy ist der neue Luxus! Was habt ihr für Erfahrungen mit lokalen Überwachungssystemen gemacht? #SmartHome #Datenschutz #FrigateNVR

#frigatenvr is not quite sure if it spotted a person or a monster.

I may have ordered a second Coral USB accelerator while talking with a coworker in the office, with the excuse of "better get it before the tariffs kick in". Mostly for use with #FrigateNVR even though I'm still waiting for the doorbell camera I want to come back in stock... (As my Nest reports *again* it's been offline for 10 minutes...)

Finally (!!) learning #Docker stuff. My 2012-2023 job wasn't really amenable. Neither is my current role, but it's used more by the people I deal with. That I found a personal project that uses it (#FrigateNVR or #Frigate) means I immediately benefit, and can apply it at work, too...

The major difference is the NPU in this EIC7700X chip is much more powerful than the Coral TPU. It's NPU has the same TOPS as the latest AI hat for Raspberry Pi 5, but unlike the Raspberry Pi 5, it also has H.264 and H.265 video transcoding. The larger form factor might be a downside, but maybe not if expanded storage or reusing old hardware is a priority. #milkv #riscv #FrigateNVR

The Milk-V Megrez might be a great board to run Frigate NVR on. #riscv #FrigateNVR #milkv

I recently purchased an Intel N100 mini PC with a Coral TPU. Its performance with Frigate has been fantastic, but this might be better.

#FrigateNVR is officially up and running on my home network! I started with a single AMCREST Turret Camera to test things out, and for just $60, it’s performing surprisingly well.

Next steps? Adding three more cameras around the house for full coverage. I’m also considering testing out their doorbell camera to see if it supports RTSP as it would be a great addition to the setup and will allow me to add it to Frigate as well.

I also need to invest in the Google Coral TPU to help take the detection load off the CPU of the HP Mini I am running this setup on.

Loving how this is shaping up so far.
