Docker container for HandBrake

This is a Docker container for HandBrake.

The GUI of the application is accessed through a modern web browser (no installation or configuration needed on the client side) or via any VNC client.

A fully automated mode is also available: drop files into a watch folder and let HandBrake process them without any user interaction.

---

HandBrake is a tool for converting video from nearly any format to a selection of modern, widely supported codecs.

Quick Start

NOTE: The Docker command provided in this quick start is given as an example and parameters should be adjusted to your need.

Launch the HandBrake docker container with the following command:

docker run -d \
    --name=handbrake \
    -p 5800:5800 \
    -v /docker/appdata/handbrake:/config:rw \
    -v /home/user:/storage:ro \
    -v /home/user/HandBrake/watch:/watch:rw \
    -v /home/user/HandBrake/output:/output:rw \
    jlesage/handbrake

Where:

• /docker/appdata/handbrake: This is where the application stores its configuration, states, log and any files needing persistency.
• /home/user: This location contains files from your host that need to be accessible to the application.
• /home/user/HandBrake/watch: This is where videos to be automatically converted are located
• /home/user/HandBrake/output: This is where automatically converted video files are written.

Browse to http://your-host-ip:5800 to access the HandBrake GUI. Files from the host appear under the /storage folder in the container.
