[Support]: Fatal Python Error: Illegal Instruction

Describe the problem you are having

I am trying to get a basic frigate setup running on my Ubuntu 20.04 server. This is a very old AMD Phenom II processor, and I’ve had issues with it not supporting instructions in the past. I am hoping to just launch frigate to play around with it before investing in the Coral USB accessory.

Every time I try and launch frigate via docker-compose, I get errors, namely Fatal Python Error: Illegal Instruction. Full output is below.

Log output included below

I am using the docker image blakeblackshear/frigate:stable-amd64 in my docker-compose.yml file.

Version

In case anyone stumbles on this, I was able to create a docker image for AMD64 CPUs that don’t support the AVX instruction set. I’ve been running it for several weeks now and it’s been mostly very reliable. It is heavily based on pdecat’s Dockerfile in their hass-addons repo.

I’m happy to share my Dockerfile if anyone would like it, but it’s very similar to the one linked above. I am having some difficulties with release-grouper on my CPU and am relying on release-frogfish at the moment.

Obviously, in an ideal world, I wouldn’t be running this on a CPU this old - however, with the chip / equipment shortages we’re dealing with, I think it makes sense to eek out as much life in these older, still capable machines.

Sure - this is the Dockerfile I’m using: https://gist.github.com/btoconnor/e7bbd0c1f6727c235fa6db0c6377c4b4

I don’t work with Docker that often, so if there’s something I’ve messed up, feel free to correct me. This has been working with me for several months now though.

There’s a couple of comments in there if you want to try and get grouper running instead of frogfish. I don’t know what the practical implications are of using frogfish vs grouper, I just know the last time I tried to get grouper working, it was causing problems on my specific machine.
