Ok, I hadn't realised that the helper script installs docker. I thought LXC was an alternative to docker.
Regarding the VM option, I did think of doing just that but read a lot about it using too many resources with frigate and LXC seems to be more efficient option when it comes to resources
OK, I should have been clearer. With "community LXC repository on github" I actually meant that I used the LXC scripts. It did go through a few questions at the start but nothing relating to storage and camera setup.
That is brilliant. Thanks. I haven't read this all yet looks like what I need.
Immich and Radicale definitely recommended. I've still got paperless-ng and plan to move to paperless-ngx as soon as I find the time. I've also got firefly-iii which is a big revolution to how I manage personal finance. Even my 17 old son has got into it ... He couldn't understand where all his hard earnings were going.
What i read here is concerning. Non that i was getting into the swing of drocker .... :-( Is LXC the future then?
