Converting video files to MP4

This simple script uploads a video file and converts it with ffmpeg to mp4 format, then uploads it to IPFS from which the client can download and use the converted video.

Cheers!

Automatic installation

You can follow this automatic script (make sure you are in the root directory of the website).

sudo chmod 750 ./install.sh && sudo ./install.sh

Or you can do it all manually using the rest of this readme below.

WARNING: If you already did the automatic installation from above you don't need to follow the next steps! You are already ready to go :)

Requirements

You need ffmpeg to be able to convert.

On Mac OS with Homebrew:

brew install ffmpeg

On Ubuntu:

sudo apt install ffmpeg

Installation

No installation besides the above needed. Just make sure you have the right file permissions.

sudo chmod -R 775 ./original ./converted && sudo chmod 770 ./cleanup.php && sudo chmod 750 ./install.sh && sudo chmod 750 ./log.txt

Automatic cleanup

The script (cleanup.php) checks for files older than a day and deletes them automatically
