docker-python3-opencv4-ffmpeg4

Repository for clean Dockerfile containing Python 3.7+, OpenCV 4.1+, FFmpeg 4.1+, based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS https://hub.docker.com/r/cooolin/python3-opencv4-ffmpeg4

Build

First you need install docker on your local computer, see official tutorials for Mac, Ubuntu or other platforms.

You can build it on your own, note it takes lots of time, be prepared.

git clone <git-repository>
cd docker-python3-opencv4-ffmpeg4
docker image build -t cooolin/docker-python3-opencv4-ffmpeg4 .

Another option is using already build image from DockerHub which is significantly faster, it basically download the already build image.

docker pull cooolin/docker-python3-opencv4-ffmpeg4
