Demonstration of using libav in App Engine Flexible Environment.

Please note this is a simple demonstration repo and not ready to productionize!

See the associated Medium post for more info. Please use the Issue Tracker for any problems.

Overview

Docekrfile and app.yaml are used to configure the main web worker, main.py.

worker/ contains the Dockerfile and code for the background process that does the transcoding.

Create a Google Cloud project. Download the Google Cloud SDK.

gcloud init <your-project-id>

go in to the worker/ directory and replace PROJECT_ID with your project ID, then

gcloud app deploy worker.yaml

That will deploy the backend module. To deploy the frontend module, replace PROJECT_ID in main.py with your project ID. Then

gcloud app deploy app.yaml

After that, hitting https://.appspot.com/transcode will kick off the transcoding process.
