This is a Docker container for MakeMKV.
The GUI of the application is accessed through a modern web browser (no installation or configuration needed on the client side) or via any VNC client.
A fully automated mode is also available: insert a DVD or Blu-ray disc into an optical drive and let MakeMKV rips it without any user interaction.
MakeMKV is your one-click solution to convert video that you own into free and patents-unencumbered format that can be played everywhere. MakeMKV is a format converter, otherwise called "transcoder". It converts the video clips from proprietary (and usually encrypted) disc into a set of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any way. The MKV format can store multiple video/audio tracks with all meta-information and preserve chapters.
NOTE: The Docker command provided in this quick start is given as an example and parameters should be adjusted to your need.
Launch the MakeMKV docker container with the following command:
docker run -d \
--name=makemkv \
-p 5800:5800 \
-v /docker/appdata/makemkv:/config:rw \
-v /home/user:/storage:ro \
-v /home/user/MakeMKV/output:/output:rw \
--device /dev/sr0 \
--device /dev/sg2 \
