⁠helmforge/openreel-video

Production-ready OpenReel Video container image for HelmForge deployments.

This image provides a clean, secure and Kubernetes-ready runtime for OpenReel Video, an open-source browser-based video editor designed to run fully client-side with no uploads, no installs and no cloud processing.

⁠Features

• OpenReel Video browser-based editor
• Built from the upstream Augani/openreel-video release
• React, TypeScript and Vite static build
• Served through an unprivileged NGINX runtime
• Runs as non-root user by default
• SPA fallback to index.html
• Health check endpoint available at /healthz
• COOP/COEP headers enabled for browser video, WASM and SharedArrayBuffer workflows
• Supports WebCodecs, WebGPU and client-side video processing
• No embedded credentials
• No external database required
• No server-side media processing required
• Built for HelmForge chart deployments

⁠Quick usage

docker pull docker.io/helmforge/openreel-video:latest

Run locally:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 docker.io/helmforge/openreel-video:latest

Access:

• Web editor: http://localhost:8080
• Health check: http://localhost:8080/healthz

⁠Kubernetes usage

This image is intended to be used with HelmForge Kubernetes deployments.

helm repo add helmforge https://repo.helmforge.dev

For production deployments, expose the application through an Ingress Controller, CDN or reverse proxy with HTTPS enabled.

Because OpenReel Video relies on modern browser APIs, keep the required COOP/COEP headers enabled when placing the application behind an ingress, gateway, CDN or WAF.

⁠Runtime

Default container port:

• 8080

Health check:

curl http://localhost:8080/healthz

Expected response:

{
  "status": "ok"
}

⁠Browser requirements

OpenReel Video uses modern browser capabilities for client-side video editing and export.

Recommended browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Microsoft Edge
• Chromium-based browsers with WebCodecs/WebGPU support

⁠Tags

• latest — latest published HelmForge OpenReel Video image
• v0.4.0 — pinned OpenReel Video upstream release image
• <version> — pinned HelmForge image version

For production workloads, prefer pinning a specific version instead of using latest.

docker pull docker.io/helmforge/openreel-video:<version>

⁠Security

This image follows a security-first runtime approach:

• Non-root runtime user
• Minimal NGINX-based static runtime
• No embedded credentials
• No database credentials required
• No server-side media upload requirement
• Static frontend delivery only
• COOP/COEP headers enabled for required browser APIs
• Suitable for Kubernetes, GitOps and CI/CD-based deployments
