base-tools-debian

Howdy!

This repository builds the base docker image used by PhotoStructure for Docker with a Debian (rather than Alpine) base image. The Alpine-based base image is here.

Using this base image has a bunch of pros and cons:

Pros:

  • There are many more ffmpeg codecs installed in the Debian image, so more video and audio formats are supported, but they seem to be mostly archaic.

  • Some external tools are only compatible with Debian/glibc. For example, CUDA hardware acceleration may be easier on Debian than on Alpine.

Cons:

  • The Debian image is 300+ MB larger than the Alpine image

  • Alpine has newer versions of many tools. For example, Alpine has FFMpeg 5.1, Debian Bullseye is on 4.3.
