Hi,
FFmpeg is missing in Docker image, so query params like ffmpeg=remux is not working here.

Yeah, it's an experimental feature, so I didn't think it would make sense to add it to Dockerfile. You can try adding it yourself by following these instructions: https://github.com/fluent-ffmpeg/node-fluent-ffmpeg#ffmpeg-and-ffprobe
If that works out, a PR is welcome.

I've created simple PR.

Also it's not clear of how to permanently store torrents.json file from container.
And for now I've solved with couple lines in dockerfile:

RUN mkdir -p  /home/app/.config/peerflix-server && \
    echo "[]" > /home/app/.config/peerflix-server/torrents.json

And container starts with option:
-v /path/to/torrents.json:/home/app/.config/peerflix-server/torrents.json

but maybe there is a better way? Maybe it can be configureable?

Thanks.

I think it would be better to mount /home/app/.config/peerflix-server folder, because it can also have config.json in it:

RUN mkdir -p  /home/app/.config/peerflix-server

 -v /path/to/config:/home/app/.config/peerflix-server

You can send a PR for Docker.md if you want.

How do you suggest making it more configurable?

I think it would be better to mount `/home/app/.config/peerflix-server` folder, because it can also have [`config.json`](https://github.com/asapach/peerflix-server#configuration) in it: ``` RUN mkdir -p /home/app/.config/peerflix-server ``` ``` -v /path/to/config:/home/app/.config/peerflix-server ``` You can send a PR for [`Docker.md`](https://github.com/asapach/peerflix-server/blob/master/Docker.md) if you want.
