# MergeDrop image build

The Dockerfile and full source for the **MergeDrop** image live in a separate Gitea repo:

- Source: <https://git.alexzaw.dev/alexz/video-merger>
- Published image: `git.alexzaw.dev/alexz/mergedrop:<tag>`

This folder holds only a thin helper script (`build.sh`) that clones the source
repo and pushes the resulting image to the in-house Docker registry.

## Rebuild

```bash
cd build/
./build.sh                                 # builds + pushes :latest and the version tag
IMAGE_TAG=1.0.1 ./build.sh                 # override the tag
```

Requires `docker login git.alexzaw.dev` to already be done (or `~/.docker/config.json`
to have the registry credentials, which is the case on this host).

## Notes

- The image is a two-stage build (Node 20 → Python 3.11-slim) and produces an
  `amd64` image only. Add `--platform linux/arm64` to `build.sh` args to cross-build.
- The application is a single FastAPI process that serves the static React build
  and a `/api/*` JSON API on the same port (`8000` inside the container).
- `ffmpeg` is installed in the runtime image; no host-level ffmpeg required.
