Multistage build with 4.1-nvidia and node-alpine

[numman]

Hi Guys, I've been trying for few days now to get this to work and I'm almost at the finish line but unable to reach it!

I need a docker image which had ffmpeg with nvidia and nodejs in it. I thought to try the following method:

FROM jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.1-nvidia as base
FROM node:10-alpine

# copy ffmpeg bins from first image
COPY --from=base / /

ENV  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib64:/usr/lib:/usr/lib64:/lib:/lib64

# Create app directory
WORKDIR /app

# Install app dependencies
# A wildcard is used to ensure both package.json AND package-lock.json are copied
# where available (npm@5+)
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm install

# Copy source code
COPY . .

# Expose port
EXPOSE 3002

CMD ["node", "server.js"]

I get the node.js server running and also am able to run ffmpeg but the probem occurs when I try to use the Nvidia GPU acceleration. I use the 'h264_nvenc' option and get the following error in the console:

[h264_nvenc @ 0x564f994960c0] Cannot load libcuda.so.1"

And I check in the docker container by: docker exec -ti vja find / -name 'libcuda.so.1'

It return nothing so I assume it can't access it even though I run using:

docker run --network=host -p 3002:3002 --runtime=nvidia --gpus all -d --name vja video-editing-api-custom:latest

I have no issues when running the jrottenberg/ffmpeg:4.1-nvidia image on it's own and using h264_nvenc.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this or perhaps suggest a better solution to run node with ffmpeg:4.1-nvidia ?

Thank you!

Did you find any solution? I am looking for a similar setup

Hello !

I would stick to the ffmpeg base, and install nodejs (8 via default repo, or 10 through nodesource) on top of it

[numman]

Hi, my problem is that I require the nvidia build so that I can use hardware acceleration :/

for sure, keep the nvidia build but install nodejs on top of it

[numman]

Whenever I do this the entry point is set as ffmpeg and I cant get it to run the nodejs server. What do you suggest?

You can probably use:

ENTRYPOINT [] CMD [ "node", "app.js" ]

at the the end of your dockerfile to override the default ffmpeg entrypoint.

I guess you found a solution @numman ? It might be useful for others to share it there :)
