Overview

Docekrfile and app.yaml are used to configure the main web worker, main.py.

worker/ contains the Dockerfile and code for the background process that does the transcoding.

Deploying

Create a Google Cloud project. Download the Google Cloud SDK.

gcloud init <your-project-id>

go in to the worker/ directory and replace PROJECT_ID with your project ID, then

gcloud app deploy worker.yaml

That will deploy the backend module. To deploy the frontend module, replace PROJECT_ID in main.py with your project ID. Then

gcloud app deploy app.yaml

After that, hitting https://.appspot.com/transcode will kick off the transcoding process.
