NVIDIA acceleration: Unsupported config option for services.frigate: 'runtime' for

[thinkloop]

I am trying to implement NVIDIA hardware acceleration using the instructions here: https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/nvdec

However docker-compose is giving the error Unsupported config option for services.frigate: 'runtime'

My config as is follows:

  frigate:
    container_name: frigate
    privileged: true 
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: blakeblackshear/frigate:stable-amd64nvidia #<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    runtime: nvidia #<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    shm_size: "128mb" 
    devices:
      - /dev/dri/renderD128 
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /mnt/beast/frigate/config.yml:/config/config.yml:ro
      - /mnt/beast/frigate/data:/media/frigate
      - /home/nas/frigate/db:/db
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
      - "1935:1935"
    environment:
      - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all #<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
      - NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,utility,video #<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Any idea what is wrong with the runtime config?

Additionally I am unclear how to include the environment variable FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD with the two new variables NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES and NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES. The latter are preceded by dashes, while the former is not, and it seems these are incompatible?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Maybe try just removing the runtime arg.

In this case the FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD can be included alongside the others with a -

Heres the compose section for the 0.11 beta which doesn't include the runtime arg and is easier to run, may be worth checking out: https://deploy-preview-2829--frigate-docs.netlify.app/configuration/hardware_acceleration#nvidia-gpu

Thanks for the advice, I ended up resolving the issues before coming back here.

I resolved the issue with the runtime by upgrading docker-compose to version 1.29.2 which is later than what is available in apt using these instructions: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-docker-compose-on-ubuntu-20-04

I may have resolved the issue with the environment variable by adding a dash and changing the colon to an equals:

    environment:
      - FRIGATE_RTSP_PASSWORD=xxxxx #<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
      - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all
      - NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,utility,video

I'm not 100% certain that works but it seems to run now.
