Hi, I want to get Frigate installed on DELL Optiplex 3020. Given its a Intel Gen4 i5, I suspect I would be asking too much if I installed it on a VM that is running on Proxmox? From the Frigate website "Frigate runs best with Docker installed on bare metal Debian-based distributions. For ideal performance, Frigate needs low overhead access to underlying hardware for the Coral and GPU devices. Running Frigate in a VM on top of Proxmox, ESXi, Virtualbox, etc. is not recommended though some users have had success with Proxmox.". Anyone had any luck getting it up and running on a VM?

It should be fine. You can pass the hardware devices like GPU directly to the VM.
