This is the docker image for Streamlink: A CLI utility which pipes video streams from various services into a video player. from the community.
Get the Dockerfile at GitHub, or pull the image from ghcr.io or quay.io.
Mount the current directory as /download and run Streamlink with additional input arguments.
The downloaded files will be saved to where you run the command.
docker run -it -v ".:/download" ghcr.io/jim60105/streamlink:alpine --progress force --output "{id}.ts" [options] [url] bestThe [options], [url] placeholder should be replaced with the options and arguments for Streamlink. Check the Streamlink README for more information.
You can find all available tags at ghcr.io or quay.io.
This repository contains four Dockerfiles for building Docker images based on different base images:
The alpine.Dockerfile, ubi.Dockerfile, ans distroless.Dockerfile are built using a build argument called BUILD_VERSION. This argument represents the release version of streamlink, such as 6.5.0 or 6.4.2.
It is important to note that the Dockerfile always builds with the latest apk package source, so it can't set the build version explicitly.
Note
- The apk edge branch follows the latest release of streamlink.
- The
alpine.Dockerfileinstalls streamlink from pip source, so the image size may slightly different compared to theDockerfileeven when they have the same version.
docker build -t streamlink .
docker build --build-arg BUILD_VERSION=6.10.0 -f ./alpine.Dockerfile -t streamlink:alpine .
docker build --build-arg BUILD_VERSION=6.10.0 -f ./ubi.Dockerfile -t streamlink:ubi .
docker build --build-arg BUILD_VERSION=6.10.0 -f ./distroless.Dockerfile -t streamlink:distroless .Tip
I've notice that that both the UBI version and the Distroless version offer no advantages over the Alpine version. So please use the Alpine version unless you have specific reasons not to. All of these base images are great, some of them were simply not that suitable for our project.
Note
If you are using an earlier version of the docker client, it is necessary to enable the BuildKit mode when building the image. This is because I used the COPY --link feature which enhances the build performance and was introduced in Buildx v0.8.
With the Docker Engine 23.0 and Docker Desktop 4.19, Buildx has become the default build client. So you won't have to worry about this when using the latest version.
