Dockerfiles for ntodd/video-transcoding docker images

Video Transcoding for Docker

Docker support for https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding

The Docker image is available on Docker Hub.

Prerequisites

You must be running Docker for Mac, Docker for Linux, or Docker for Windows.

Usage

To run the video_transcoding gem in Docker, execute the following:

# Docker for Mac & Linux
docker run -itv "`pwd`":/data ntodd/video-transcoding

# Docker for Windows
docker run -itv C:\My\Current\Path:/data ntodd/video-transcoding

This will:

1. Download the ntodd/video-transcoding Docker image (unless already downloaded)
2. Mount the current working directory on your host machine as a shared volume inside the container
3. Run an interactive bash shell with access to your current directory and the video_transcoding cli tools

For best results on Docker for Mac or Windows, set your CPU count in preferences to the maximum available for your machine.

To update to the latest version:

docker pull ntodd/video-transcoding:latest

video_transcoding_docker's Issues

Multiple platform support

I'm attempting to run this docker image on an Orange Pi 5 by running the following command:

docker run --rm -it ntodd/video-transcoding

Which results in this error:

WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested
exec /bin/bash: exec format error

Is it possible for you to build the ntodd/video-transcoding image against multiple platforms? Specifically linux/arm64/v8 for this use case.

File permissions on transcoded files

Hi, I am having a challenge with file permissions on transcoded file. unRAID uses a single user: group pair (nobody:users, 99:100) for all files, however this container creates files as root:root with permissions 0666.

I have tried passing environment variables as I do with some of the other containers, but they aren't honored and possibly the container needs to expect them to take advantage?

This is my modified run line which still creates files as root:root 0666:
docker run -it -v "pwd":/data -e UMASK=001 -e PUID=99 -e PGID=100 ntodd/video-transcoding

Any thoughts on how I can get the files created as the correct user:group so the other system software and containers can work with them (other than doing a permissions clean up manually at the end)?

Thank you for pulling this container together and keeping it current with Don's releases.

Support for unraid docker

It seems when running this docker from the command line of a docker server even when passing --cpuset-cpu=0-23 transcoding is EXTREMELY slow, to the point where it will take 24+ hours to transcode BD.
