denismakogon/ffmpeg-alpine repository overview

⁠FFMPEG Linux Alpine 3.7 Docker images

These images were heavily inspired by this image⁠. However with a lot changes like:

• no more single Dockerfile (3 image layers: dependencies, build-stage, runtime)
• no more forced multi-stage builds except those cases when final stage is vanilla operating system
• alpine 3.7
• ffmpeg 4.0 by default

⁠Dependencies

Dependencies image⁠ contains all necessary libraries for FFMPEG built from source.

⁠Build stage

Build-stage image⁠ contains only build of an FFMPEG with a copy of shared objects from the dependency image. Image size: 564MB

⁠Runtime

Runtime image⁠ contains a copy of binaries, includes, libraries and shares, i.e all necessary pieces for an FFMPEG. Image size: 69.5MB

⁠Example application

ffmpeg tool image⁠ is basically a containerized version of ffmpeg CLI tool. More to come. Image size: 69.5MB at minimum

⁠Custom runtime

In order to get all necessary ffmpeg pieces you need to create a Dockerfile with the following instructions:

FROM denismakogon/ffmpeg-alpine:4.0-buildstage as build-stage
FROM <your-final-stage-image>

COPY --from=build-stage /tmp/fakeroot/bin /usr/local/bin
COPY --from=build-stage /tmp/fakeroot/share /usr/local/share
COPY --from=build-stage /tmp/fakeroot/include /usr/local/include
COPY --from=build-stage /tmp/fakeroot/lib /usr/local/lib
