AVCONV, FFMPEG library added to build Docker image, Lossless MP4 audio extract

One of my project need lib libav-tools or ffmpeg, mediainfo for some image, video thumbnail generate, get info...
I see that this is may be overkill when added a quite big lib for only some simple task. But it seems there are not any more lightweight lib available.
My Docker image is a special (?) Aptible image for Express JS app (It's based on Alpine distro).
My Docker image file:

FROM quay.io/aptible/nodejs:v6.9.x

ADD package.json /app/
WORKDIR /app
RUN apt-install build-essential
RUN apt-install g++
RUN apt-install python
RUN apt-install libav-tools
RUN apt-install mediainfo
RUN npm install --production

ADD . /app

ENV PORT 8081
EXPOSE 8081

These RUN apt-install is my added to default image. Ideally I think I should not do this way because it seem strange and some "unknown" drawback.
But it seem most simple way in developer view. Aptible like many other Docker based service (AWS Beanstalk for example) allow custom image, but again it too adventurous/danger. Need investigate alternative and better solutions. But as far as I know, Docker is bet fit with microservices (?) so if keep do one thing and do it well then may app (ExpressJS) is done well on most functional/features requirements already. The additional like image/video thumb should be separated, there are AWS lambda or something like this ?, I already use S3 for image/video storage.

Bellow is some command for handle image/video thumbnail. Again fucking rotation issue on handheld devices.

avconv -ss 0.5 -i a70130194664129528ba44c141ba6594 -vframes 1  -vf scale="`if(gt(a,1/1),320,-1)`:`if(gt(a,1/1),-1,200)`" -f image2 114.jpg

In my experience, we often have to manually handle iOS, Droid device problem with Image, Video thumbnail rotation. iOS media output often has different Exif infos. In node I have to use mediainfo node module to get Exif info. This way seem not efficient since it a huge package added to server (130MB on DK image) to provide little value. We can use bash cmd and regex to get resolution and rotation but it is a tricky work and not reliable.

Express vs Adonis.
When first time I working with Express, it like walking in a mine field. Every decision seems not sure  enough and lack of confidents. Adonis is cool, its structure based on familiar Laravel. Beside that there are SailJS... When I have sparetime I will try Adonis with Aptible. There are not default sample image/app for Adonis but it worth a try. And trace back in time mid 2017, I think this time Adonis is exist quite long. Aptible is new/less used (?) infrastructure, so may be its document and sample not well provided.


******************
FFMPEG extract lossless/best can affort quality
MP4 => MP4 (audio copy track only)
ffmpeg -i video1.mp4 -c copy -map 0:a video1_audio.mp4

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2447791/define-vs-const Oh const vs define, many time I got unexpected interview question. As this one, I do not know much or try to study this. My work flow, and I believe of many programmer is that search topic only when we have task or job to tackle. We ignore many 'basic', 'fundamental' documents, RTFM is boring. So I think it is a trade off between the two way of study language. And I think there are a bridge or balanced way to extract both advantage of two method. There are some huge issue with programmer like me that prevent we master some technique that take only little time if doing properly. For example, some Red Hat certificate program, lesson, course that I have learned during Collage gave our exceptional useful when it cover almost all topic while working with Linux. I remember it called something like RHEL (RedHat Enterprise Linux) Certificate... I think there are many tons of documents, guide n books about Linux bu

Martin Fowler - Software Architecture - Making Architecture matter

  https://martinfowler.com/architecture/ One can appreciate the point of this presentation when one's sense of code smell is trained, functional and utilized. Those controlling the budget as well as developer leads should understand the design stamina hypothesis, so that the appropriate focus and priority is given to internal quality - otherwise pay a high price soon. Andrew Farrell 8 months ago I love that he was able to give an important lesson on the “How?” of software architecture at the very end: delegate decisions to those with the time to focus on them. Very nice and straight-forward talk about the value of software architecture For me, architecture is the distribution of complexity in a system. And also, how subsystems communicate with each other.
