docker-handbrake VS docker-android

Handbrake (https://github.com/jlesage/docker-handbrake) - Similar to QT bittorrent, nice to have a spot where I can dump my video files and it has tools to monitor new files dropped in and custom formats.

I would highly suggest that you use https://github.com/jlesage/docker-handbrake/blob/master/README.md

Do you use docker? You could use the ripper container and use handbrake container. You’d set the output directory of ripper to be the handbrake input directory. Just put the disk in the drive you have setup and ripper will do it’s thing. After it’s done handbrake will detect a movie and encode it using your settings.

Very new to docker - although quite techy. I am guessing I missed permissions or something somewhere. I have set up Handbrake https://github.com/jlesage/docker-handbrake within Docker following this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6HgHsxdWIo I can access it via port5800, however when I go to add a file/folder the pop up goes to "storage" if I go to "Other Locations" I can see the folder I specified during set up, but then I get "Cannot Read contents of GoProToSort" "Error opening directory. Permission Denied"

But when jlesage/handbrake launches, even if you manually specify uid:gid 1000:1000, there are permission errors:

It sounds like you missed the x11vnc part of this. You connect into the container using vnc, not x11. If you want to see a working example of a gui app running successfully in docker, check out https://github.com/jlesage/docker-handbrake

There isn't a magic setting or anything, and honestly, I don't recommend tdarr, mostly because you can do all the same stuff it does with a bash script and jlesage's handbrake container (or just handbrake outright).

My NAS/home server is a NON-COREBOOT HPE-Proliant-Gen10 microserver I have some details here. 24G ECC, 24TB RAIDZ-2. I am running docker containers for Makemkv, Handbrake, Filebot, Jellyfin, Gitea, TinyTinyRSS, Bitwarden, Samba (readonly for Kodi running on an Nvidia Sheild TV), Restic backup, Nextcloud, PFELK (router stats) and a weather forecast app I run on an old Nook in a picture frame. It isn't fast but it doesn't need to be for my needs.

If it was me I'd go with a docker-android container. You could go with Anbox or a virtual android machine, but if you just need to run one app, I think a docker container would be the way to go, since you could script it to open, run your app, and shut down.

I haven't personally tested this one, however, there is this project on github: https://github.com/budtmo/docker-android which uses containers.

I know this isn't the focus of the article, but this license provision in a linked project is outright strange.

How can you call a project Apache when you're forcing people to pay via their data ? Why is their no opt out option?

Absent that this seems like a great QA automation tool. Or a Tinder bot farm...

Alternatively, there are a few docker projects such as this one https://github.com/budtmo/docker-android that might work well. Haven’t tried it.

So far i was using docker-android i did use in my ubuntu during yesterday and was working fine

https://github.com/budtmo/docker-android this perhaps?

It's got absolutely nothing to do with the trustability of Android emulators. In fact I highly doubt they used something like Bluestacks, but rather something that can be chained with scripts like an Android docker container.
