nicholasrobinson/ffmpeg-homebridge repository overview

⁠docker-ffmpeg-homebridge

A Homebridge Dockerfile built on oznu/docker-homebridge with FFmpeg copied from alfg/ffmpeg.

⁠Motivation

I was encountering the following issue running docker-homebridge⁠ and ring⁠ on Synology:

[Ring] Streaming video only - found ffmpeg, but libfdk_aac is not installed.

a.k.a. https://github.com/marcoraddatz/homebridge-docker/issues/53⁠ https://github.com/oznu/docker-homebridge/issues/82⁠ https://github.com/dgreif/ring/issues/114⁠

I was able to fix it by patching the docker-homebridge⁠ image with the FFmpeg from alfg/ffmpeg⁠.

To get the fix on Synology whilst preserving your config, just stop your existing homebridge container and replace it with nicholasrobinson/ffmpeg-homebridge.

⁠Usage

• Pull Docker image and run:

docker pull nicholasrobinson/ffmpeg-homebridge
docker run -it --rm nicholasrobinson/ffmpeg-homebridge

• or build and run container from source:

docker build -t ffmpeg-homebridge .
docker run ffmpeg-homebridge

• or use as a base image in your Dockerfile:

FROM nicholasrobinson/ffmpeg-homebridge:latest
