Alternative to HRConvert2 ?

Hi everyone!

I’ve been trying to use HRConvert2, which looks like a fantastic tool for converting all kinds of files. However, I’m struggling to get it working properly with Docker. Specifically, I can’t figure out how to correctly bind volumes to retrieve my converted files. I’m using Portainer to deploy my containers, and while I can get HRConvert2 up and running, the lack of clear documentation for volume mounting is a roadblock for me.

Additionally, it seems HRConvert2 hasn’t been updated in over a year, which makes me a bit hesitant to rely on it long-term.

Does anyone know of a good self-hosted alternative that can handle a wide range of file conversions similar to HRConvert2 ?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or insights !

Notes from the last release mentions that the docker repo is unmaintained.

How about Convertx: github.com/C4illin/ConvertX

No problem. I was looking for a HRConvert2 fork but didn’t see one. Usually if the repository goes unmaintained for a while and there is interest in the project, somebody somewhere will fork it.
