makemkv v0.1.0

Media

MakeMKV — rip Blu-ray and DVD discs to MKV, streamed to your browser as a GUI. Deployed as a single host-networked Nomad service.

nomad-pack run makemkv --registry nomploy

…or one line (add registry + run)

curl -fsSL https://packs.nomploy.com/install.sh | sh -s -- makemkv

Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/makemkv_data/_data backup:<bucket>/makemkv_data
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/makemkv_output/_data backup:<bucket>/makemkv_output

Paths assume the default Docker volume location (/var/lib/docker/volumes). Restore by stopping the job, restoring files into the same volume, and re-running the pack.

Readme

makemkv

MakeMKV — rip Blu-ray and DVD discs to MKV, preserving all tracks, streamed to your browser as a GUI (no VNC client needed). Pairs well with handbrake for a second transcode pass and a media server for playback.

Single host-networked Nomad service with config and output volumes, plus optical-drive passthrough.

Deploy

nomad-pack registry add nomploy https://github.com/Nomploy/nomad-packs
nomad-pack run makemkv --registry=nomploy

Configure

Variable	Default	Description
`port`	`5800`	Browser GUI port (`WEB_LISTENING_PORT`).
`devices`	`[]`	Set this. Optical drive device paths to pass through, e.g. `["/dev/sr0", "/dev/sg2"]` (find with `lsscsi -g`).
`image`	`jlesage/makemkv:latest`	Container image. Pin a tag in production.
`data_volume`	`makemkv_data`	`/config` — settings.
`output_volume`	`makemkv_output`	`/output` — ripped MKV files.
`user_id` / `group_id`	`1000` / `1000`	File ownership (`USER_ID`/`GROUP_ID`).
`tz`	`UTC`	Container timezone (`TZ`).
`resources`	`{ cpu = 300, memory = 256 }`	Task resources.

Needs a real optical drive: set devices to your host's drive(s) and pin the job with constraints to the node that has them. MakeMKV's beta key must be entered in the GUI (it changes periodically). The GUI has no auth by default — put it behind an authenticating reverse proxy if exposed.
