Random Video Clip Generator (Docker - Windows host - Git Bash)

Plays random sections of videos for background visual noise. Great for parties.

You will need:

• Docker desktop (for Windows 10).
• VLC.
• Git Bash.
• The videos have to be locally available.

How to use:

1. Install docker: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/install/
2. Install VLC (video player): https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.wa.html
3. Install git bash: https://git-scm.com/download/win
4. Create a directory under your C drive called share and download a couple of music videos there.
5. Start docker desktop and verify it's running: docker info
6. Get image and run container (pulls and starts. The videos you see inside the container ARE the files from Windows, not copies):
   winpty docker run -it --name randomvideoclipgenerator_cont --volume C:\\share:/root/RandomVideos/share marq4/random_videoclip_generator_docker:latest
7. Inside the container do (and follow those instructions):
   cat instructions.txt
8. Double-click the playlist file to open it with VLC.
9. To finish with the container simply:
   exit
10. To log into the container after it has been stopped do:
    docker start randomvideoclipgenerator_cont
winpty docker exec -it randomvideoclipgenerator_cont bash
11. To make new videos available to the container simply move them into share directory in Windows. No need to restart the container.
