You already have a setup and throwing one more docker on isn’t a big deal. especially if you have watchtower already setup as well… then it even updates itself.
I use tools like this all the time… PDF for example stirling-pdf makes doing something things a LOT easier than firing up a “proper” pdf editor. This tool would likely be the same concept for other workflows.
Because otherwise you need to maintain it on everyone of your computers and phone and everytime you wipe them and in every virtual machine you make and the developpers would need to maintain a version for every operating system that exists and they always forget to make a version for BeOS so that sucks
I’m genuinely confused about the use cases you all seem to have. When are you sitting in a field on your phone trying desperately to convert a .avi to a .mkv?
For desktops you just need to have ffmpeg or handbrake or ImageMagick installed - there’s nothing to “maintain”. Image conversion is as simple as convert test.jpg test.png.

I love Stirling PDF. I use it probably once a quarter on average. But it’s always there, ready to be useful.
