FFmpeg Build Docker image

This project prepares a development Docker image for FFmpeg. It compiles FFmpeg from sources following instructions from the Compilation Guide. All the generated libs are left in the final image to be reuse.

You can test the latest build of this image by running docker pull videotools/ffmpeg-build.

This image can be used as a base for an encoding farm.

It is on purpose very large as it contains all the lib for ffmpeg, feel free to extend and generate yours with multistage:

FROM        base AS release
MAINTAINER  Julien Rottenberg <[email protected]>

CMD         ["--help"]
ENTRYPOINT  ["ffmpeg"]
ENV         LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

COPY --from=build /usr/local /usr/local/

# Let's make sure the app built correctly
# Convenient to verify on https://hub.docker.com/r/videotools/ffmpeg-build/builds console output

Ubuntu builds

You can use videotools/ffmpeg-build to get the latest build based on ubuntu.
