Snickers is an open source alternative to the existent cloud encoding services. It is a HTTP API that encode videos.
Setting Up
First make sure you have Go and FFmpeg with --enable-shared installed on your machine. If you don't know what this means, look at how the dependencies are being installed on our Dockerfile.
Download the dependencies:
$ make build
You can store presets and jobs on memory or MongoDB. On your config.json file:
- For MongoDB, set
DATABASE_DRIVER: "mongo"andMONGODB_HOST: "your.mongo.host" - For memory, just set
DATABASE_DRIVER: "memory"and you're good to go.
Please be aware that in case you use memory, Snickers will persist the data only while the application is running.
Run!
$ make run
Running tests
Make sure you have mediainfo installed and a local instance of MongoDB running.
$ make test
