⁠Dockerized VCS

A dockerized Video Contact Sheet *NIX⁠.

This docker image provides a reference working environment for vcs.

This image is meant for troubleshooting although it can conceivably be used as a viable way to run vcs.

⁠Obtaining the image

Prebuilt images are to be found at Docker Hub. It can be downloaded with:

sudo docker pull outlyernet/vcs

In case you need to build, use the usual:

sudo docker build -t vcs .

⁠Running

This image works by default on the /mnt directory, the simplest way to use it is to bind a directory with videos to /mnt.

For example, if /home/user/videos contains a sample.mp4 video file...

$ pwd
/home/user/videos/
$ ls
sample.mp4

... the image can be run like:

$ sudo docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/mnt" --user $(id -u):$(id -g) outlyernet/vcs sample.mp4 [your vcs options]

Cleaning up...
$ ls
sample.mp4 sample.mp4.png

⁠Arguments explained

The arguments to the above command are:

• --rm: Destroy the container when done.
• -v "$(pwd):/mnt": Bind the current directory to /mnt (the container's /mnt will be an alias for the directory you're running the command from).
• --user $(id -u):$(id -g): Run as your user instead of as root, which is the default on Docker. Otherwise the produced files will be owned by root.
