ging/payloader repository overview

⁠How to use this Dockerfile

To run a Payloader container you have two options:

• You can build your own image using the Dockerfile we provide and then run the container from it or
• you can run the container directly from the image we provide in Docker Hub.

Both options require that you have docker⁠ installed on your machine.

⁠Build your own image and run the container from it

You have to download the Payloader's code⁠ from GitHub and navigate to docker directory. There, to compile your own image just run:

sudo docker build -t payloader-image .

This builds a new Docker image following the steps in Dockerfile and saves it in your local Docker repository with the name payloader-image. You can check the available images in your local repository using:

sudo docker images

Now you can run a new container from the image you have just created with:

sudo docker run --name my-container -v /path/to/your/videos/folder:/opt/payloader/media -e INPUT_FILE=<input_file> -e OUTPUT_FILE=<output_file> payloader-image 

Where the different params mean:

• my-container is the name of the new container (you can use the name you want)
• /path/to/your/videos/folder: here you have to specify the folder where your input video is located. The output video will be created also there.
• input_file is the source of the media stream
• output_file is the destination of the media stream

Here is an example of this command:

sudo docker run --name payloader-container payloader-image myvideo.avi outputvideo.avi

⁠Run the container from the last release in Docker Hub

You can also run the container from the image we provide⁠ in Docker Hub. In this case you have only to execute the run command. But now the image name is ging/payloader:version where version is the release you want to use:

sudo docker run --name my-container -v /path/to/your/videos/folder:/opt/payloader/media -e INPUT_FILE=<input_file> -e OUTPUT_FILE=<output_file> ging/payloader
