openencoder
Open Source Cloud Encoder for FFmpeg
A distributed and scalable video encoding pipeline to be used as an API or web interface using your own hosted or cloud infrastructure and FFmpeg encoding presets.
Features
- HTTP API for submitting jobs to a redis-backed FFmpeg worker
- FTP and S3 storage (AWS, Digital Ocean Spaces and Custom S3 Providers supported)
- Web Dashboard UI for managing encode jobs, workers, users and settings
- Machines UI/API for scaling cloud worker instances in a VPC
- Database stored FFmpeg encoding presets
- User accounts and roles
Preview
Development
Requirements
- Docker
- Go 1.11+
- NodeJS 8+ (For web dashboard)
- FFmpeg
- Postgres
- S3 API Credentials & Bucket (AWS or Digital Ocean)
- Digital Ocean API Key (only required for Machines API)
Docker is optional, but highly recommended for this setup. This guide assumes you are using Docker.
Setup
- Start Redis and Postgres in Docker:
docker-compose up -d redis
docker-compose up -d db
When the database container runs for the first time, it will create a persistent volume as /var/lib/postgresql/data. It will also run the scripts in scripts/ to create the database, schema, settings, presets, and an admin user.
- Build & start API server:
go build -v && ./openencoder server
- Start the worker:
./openencoder worker
- Start Web Dashboard for development:
cd static && npm run serve
- Open
http://localhost:8081/dashboardin the browser and login withadmin/password.
See Quick-Setup-Guide for full development setup guide.

Scaling
You can scale workers by adding more machines via the Web UI or API.
Currently only Digital Ocean is supported. More providers are planned.
