jlesage/handbrake repository overview

⁠Docker container for HandBrake

This project provides a lightweight and secure Docker container for HandBrake⁠.

Access the application's full graphical interface directly from any modern web browser - no downloads, installs, or setup required on the client side - or connect with any VNC client.

The web interface also offers audio playback, seamless clipboard sharing, an integrated file manager and terminal for accessing the container's files and shell, desktop notifications, and more.

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 an example, and parameters should be adjusted to suit your needs.

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: Stores the application's configuration, state, logs, and any files requiring persistency.
• /home/user: Contains files from the host that need to be accessible to the application.
• /home/user/HandBrake/watch: The location for videos to be automatically converted.
• /home/user/HandBrake/output: The destination for converted video files.

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