A random port number between 10000 and 32767 is needed and will be used to access Handbrake. The port number 27637 has automatically been generated and will be used throughout this article, but can be changed if needed.

Connect to your slot using SSH

1. Create ~/handbrake/handbrake.yml

    mkdir -p ~/handbrake && touch ~/handbrake/handbrake.yml
   

2. Open the file with nano ~/handbrake/handbrake.yml and add the text in this text box to the file

    version: "3.9"
    
    services:
      handbrake:
        container_name: handbrake
        image: ghcr.io/jlesage/handbrake:latest
        ports:
          - "27637:5800"
        environment:
          - PUID=0
          - PGID=0
          - UMASK=002
          - TZ=UTC
        volumes:
          - /home/user/handbrake:/config:rw
          - /home/user/handbrake/storage:/storage:ro
          - /home/user/handbrake/watch:/watch:rw
          - /home/user/handbrake/output:/output:rw
        pull_policy: always
        restart: unless-stopped
   

   Save the file by pressing Ctrl+S then exit nano with Ctrl+X

3. Run the handbrake container briefly

    podman-compose -f ~/handbrake/handbrake.yml up
   

   Wait until lines stop populating then Press Ctrl+C

   Wait again then Press Ctrl+C

4. Start Handbrake

   podman-compose -f ~/handbrake/handbrake.yml down && podman-compose -f ~/handbrake/handbrake.yml up -d

After returning to your shell prompt, handbrake will be accessible at http://server.whatbox.ca:27637 (it may take several seconds to start responding) You must add authentication immediately when prompted - select "Forms" and fill in a username and password.
