Full-featured FFmpeg on Ubuntu
==========

This project aims to provide Dockerfile(s) to compile full-featured FFmpeg executable files with **dynamic-linking** on Ubuntu-based Linux distributions.

#### Why not static?

If someone only uses Ubuntu and have no need to cross compile FFmpeg for other platform, dynamic linking can help re-using a lot of shared libraries and generating smaller and more efficient executable files.

However, this project still uses some static libraries which are useful but not provided by Ubuntu software repositories.

## Getting Start

#### Install Docker

```bash
sudo apt install docker docker-buildx
```

#### Compile

```bash
docker build -t ffmpeg-build -f Dockerfile. .
docker run -v "$(pwd)/output":/output --name ffmpeg-build ffmpeg-build
```

`` can be `Jammy` (22.04), `Noble` (24.04).

Now, the executable files should be in the `./output` directory.

#### Clean Up

```bash
docker rm ffmpeg-build
docker image rm ffmpeg-build && docker image prune
```

## Run FFmpeg Executable Files

1. Open the Dockerfile you used.
2. Copy the `apt install` command in the runtime environment stage.
3. Run the command in the Ubuntu system that you want to run FFmpeg executable files (to fix shared libraries not found issues).

#### Are these executable files Debian-compatible?

No. Even though Ubuntu is based on Debian, their software sources are somewhat different. Maybe you can find replaceable packages but I would recommend just modify the base image written in the Dockerfile of this project to a corresponding Debian image and build it.
