FFMPEG for Docker on Centos7

This project prepares a minimalist Docker image with FFMPEG. It compiles FFMPEG from sources following instructions from the Compilation Guide.

You can install the latest build of this image by running docker pull jrottenberg/ffmpeg.

This image can be used as a base for an encoding farm, based on centos7.

Ubuntu builds

You can use jrottenberg/ffmpeg:ubuntu or jrottenberg/ffmpeg:3.1 or jrottenberg/ffmpeg:3 to get the latest build based on ubuntu.

Note : I've made ubuntu the default after 3.1

You'll find centos based image using ffmpeg:X.Y-centos or ffmpeg:centos to get the latest. alpine images ffmpeg:X.Y-alpine or ffmpeg:alpine to get the latest.
