Dockerized VCS
A dockerized Video Contact Sheet *NIX.
This docker image provides a reference working environment for vcs.
This image is meant for troubleshooting although it can conceivably be used as a viable way to run vcs.
Obtaining the image
Prebuilt images are to be found at Docker Hub. It can be downloaded with:
sudo docker pull outlyernet/vcs
In case you need to build, use the usual:
sudo docker build -t vcs .
Running
This image works by default on the /mnt directory, the simplest way to use it is to bind a directory with videos to /mnt.
For example, if /home/user/videos contains a sample.mp4 video file...
$ pwd
/home/user/videos/
$ ls
sample.mp4
... the image can be run like:
$ sudo docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/mnt" --user $(id -u):$(id -g) outlyernet/vcs sample.mp4 [your vcs options]

Arguments explained
The arguments to the above command are:
--rm: Destroy the container when done.-v "$(pwd):/mnt": Bind the current directory to/mnt(the container's/mntwill be an alias for the directory you're running the command from).--user $(id -u):$(id -g): Run as your user instead of asroot, which is the default on Docker. Otherwise the produced files will be owned byroot.
