labmasterkc/mp4automator repository overview

⁠mp4automator

A Docker container that "watches" a volume and runs mp4automator to convert using FFMPEG. The script runs in a loop, so the container never exits.

⁠Flow of operations:

• 1: Container starts up and sleeps number of seconds specified by FILE_CHECK (Defaults to 900 seconds, or 15 minutes if variable not provided)
• 2: Container processes any files in the /data volume. Converted files are written to the /output volume. The included autoProcess.ini is configured to delete the original file.
• 3: ACtions are logged to /tmp/mp4automator-log, this directory can be exported to make the logs available outside container

⁠Notes:

• ENV TIME_ZONE - not really used right now
• ENV FILE_CHECK - sleep interval of the loop
• VOLUME /tmp - log location
• VOLUME /data - input directory that is "watched"
• VOLUME /output - output directory where converted files are written

⁠Docker run example

  --name=mp4automator \
