Describe the problem you are having

I have been trying to get to the bottom of an issue where Proxmox randomly crashes. Following several days of troubleshooting I have come to the realisation if you run the Frigate HA add-on + Frigate HACS Integration + Frigate HA Integration on the same HAOS instance after a while the entire Proxmox server becomes unresponsive and only way out is physical power cycle the machine Proxmox is installed. I provide version numbers below, but to me it seems some kind of kernel panic type of error.

It seems I have overcome this issue by splitting Frigate on two HA instances. One instance runs MQTT and Frigate add-on, the other HA instance runs Frigate Proxy, Frigate HACS integration + card and Frigate HA integration. I have yet to try on a pure Debian installation, however, I am confident this will also work.

To me it seems a fatal conflict between MQTT, Frigate HA add-on + Frigate HACS Integration + Frigate HA integration running on the same HA instance, bringing the Proxmox server down (no error messages are logged in Proxmox or HAOS),

I am testing on a simple Frigate installation using just one camera stream.

Everything below is on latest production (non-beta) versions as of 15 Aug 2022.

Frigate System: HW: AMD HX5900 - allocated to HAOS/Frigate VM: 8-cores/8GB RAM/64GB SSD DSK

Latest HAOS with following add-ons (all latest production versions):

Proxmox 7.2-7 no-subscription, up to date with latest packages (15 Aug 2022). I have yet to test on Proxmox with subscription. HAOS 8.4

I have tried to troubleshoot and it seems MQTT interacting with Frigate HA add-on and Frigate HACS integration is the culprit. I am still testing as we speak, and will update as soon as I have valid input to provide. Having split the add-on from the integration seems to have resolved the issue (no problem for several hours), but the acid test will be tomorrow; if no crash then the issue is in the interaction between the three components mentioned earlier (MQTT, add-on, HACS).
