ffmpeg/ffprobe

[amirmasoud]

Info:

• Docker version ($ docker --version): any
• Laradock commit ($ git rev-parse HEAD): any
• System info (Mac, PC, Linux): any
• System info disto/version: any

does anyone have any suggestion to add ffmpeg to laradock? what is the best practice to do so?
so far I found this doc: http://sourcedigit.com/20614-install-ffmpeg-ubuntu-apt-get-install-ffmpeg-ubuntu-terminal/

is this requirement an specific one or I can make a PR?

Hey, could you get this done? I'm trying to install it to the php-fpm container (as recommended for ffmpeg usage in general) but there a lot of guides using apk install or add-apt-repository which don't work with php-fpm base image.

Almost every install guide require external repository to be added. Any ideas on how to solve this situation?

[amirmasoud]

I also installed it by adding the extra repo to the OS

@amirmasoud Can you share your solution? Thanks in advance!

I didn't add it to Dockerfile, just installed them in the container (php-fpm),
I followed this tutorial: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2018/10/install-ffmpeg-4-0-2-ubuntu-18-0416-04/ for installing FFmpeg

I have added FFmpeg in the php-fpm container by adding the following lines to the Dockerfile (in my case Dockerfile-71):

#####################################
# FFmpeg:
#####################################

USER root

ARG INSTALL_FFMPEG=true
ENV INSTALL_FFMPEG ${INSTALL_FFMPEG}
RUN if [ ${INSTALL_FFMPEG} = true ]; then \
	echo 'deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list && \
	apt-get update && \
	apt-get install ffmpeg -y && \
	ffmpeg -version \
;fi

Please note that FFmpeg will be installed unless INSTALL_FFMPEG is set to false.

i am a bit late but in case there is some1 reading this and the deb install did not work there is a simpler way
in workspace/Dockerfile the end of the file should look like this

#
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Final Touch
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#

USER root

RUN apt-get clean && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/* && \
    rm /var/log/lastlog /var/log/faillog

COPY --from=jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.0-scratch / /

WORKDIR /var/www

as for the php-worker/Dockerfile the end of the file should look like this

#
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Final Touch
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#

COPY --from=jrottenberg/ffmpeg:3.4-alpine / /

WORKDIR /etc/supervisor/conf.d/

this will leverage multi-staging in building the docker image plus jrottenberg/ffmpeg is very well maintained
hope this helps

I have found Laradock installs ffmpeg 3 but need ffmpeg-4 and so edit the workspace/Dockerfile to replace

  ###########################################################################
  # FFMpeg:
  ###########################################################################
  if [ ${INSTALL_FFMPEG} = true ]; then \
    apt-get -yqq install ffmpeg; \
  fi

with

  ###########################################################################
  # FFMpeg:
  ###########################################################################
  if [ ${INSTALL_FFMPEG} = true ]; then \
    add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-4 && \
    apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -yqq ffmpeg; \
  fi
