## Description

DeepStack is a self-hosted AI platform that exposes pre-built and custom computer-vision APIs—object detection, image classification, and more—entirely offline in a Docker container. It lets developers and homelab users build and deploy AI-powered applications without cloud dependencies or per-request costs, running on standard x86 servers, ARM hardware, or NVIDIA Jetson devices.

## Platform availability

Available on 2 of 9 platforms: Unraid, Helm.

## Common questions

### How can Deepstack be used in an NVR-less CCTV setup?

It can be part of a self-hosted PoE CCTV setup that uses FTP and Plex to store motion-only clips locally without an NVR.

### Can Deepstack run in Kubernetes for a camera detection pipeline?

A self-hosted machine-learning pipeline can run Deepstack in Kubernetes on a front-yard camera feed to detect cars and humans. It can then announce events through Hubitat and Google Home.

### What object-detection issue did a user report when feeding camera images to Deepstack?

A user testing Deepstack for self-hosted object detection from cameras said they could not get it to work correctly.
