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.
You can use jrottenberg/ffmpeg or jrottenberg/ffmpeg:3.3 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 to get the latest.
scratch images ffmpeg:X.Y-scratch to get the latest. (Scratch is an experimental image containing only FFmpeg and libraries)
Format is ffmpeg:MAJOR.MINOR-VARIANT with MAJOR.MINOR in :
- 2.8
- 3.0
- 3.1
- 3.2
- 3.3
- 3.4
- 4.0
- 4.1
- snapshot
and VARIANT in :
- alpine
- centos
- nvidia
- scratch
- ubuntu
- vaapi

Capture output from the container to the host running the command

$ffmpeg_options - > out.mp4
docker run jrottenberg/ffmpeg -stats \

The image has been compiled with X265 Multilib. Use the pixel format switch to change the number of bits per pixel by suffixing it with 10 for 10bits or 12 for 12bits.
Let's assume original.gif is located in the current directory :
docker run -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd)\
jrottenberg/ffmpeg:3.2-scratch -stats \
-i original.gif \
original-converted.mp4
Thanks to qmfrederik for the vaapi ubuntu based variant
jrottenberg/ffmpeg:vaapi or jrottenberg/ffmpeg:${VERSION}-vaapi
- Run the container with the device attached /dev/dri from your host into the container :
docker run --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) jrottenberg/ffmpeg:vaapi [...]
- Have the Intel drivers up and running on your host. You can run
vainfo(part of vainfo package on Ubuntu) to determine whether your graphics card has been recognized correctly. - Run ffmpeg with the correct parameters, this is the same as when running ffmpeg natively.
Thanks to ShaulMyplay for the nvidia based variant
Supports nvenc only on all ffmpeg versions, and hardware decoding and scaling on ffmpeg >= 4.0
- Install nvidia latest drivers on host machine.
- Install nvidia-docker on host machine.
- Run container using "--runtime=nvidia" flag and use supported ffmpeg hwaccel options
Hardware encoding only example:
docker run --runtime=nvidia jrottenberg/ffmpeg:2.8-nvidia -i INPUT -c:v nvenc_h264 -preset hq OUTPUT
Full hardware acceleration example:
docker run --runtime=nvidia jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.1-nvidia -hwaccel cuvid -c:v h264_cuvid -i INPUT -vf scale_npp=-1:720 -c:v h264_nvenc -preset slow OUTPUT
docker run -it --entrypoint='bash' jrottenberg/ffmpeg
