Add FFmpeg to the Activepieces docker image...

Flow Builder

I want to create an FFmpeg piece but right now, it means creating a custom Dockerfile to add FFmpeg to the Activepieces container. I know there are tradeoffs due to keeping the image small, but adding FFmpeg would be an extremely valuable addition to the platform. If FFmpeg can be added, I will create and contribute an FFmpeg pieces with a general-purpose action that essentially allows a user to mimic the FFmpeg command line.

(P.S. I’m open to suggestions for alternate ways to integrate FFmpeg into a flow.)

    After further exploration, I’m surprised that there are no pieces (that I can find) for uploading files and local file store manipulation. I guess there are a number of issues to work around for that, but it seems like a reasonable bit of basic functionality. Did I just miss something?

    A strong driver for having FFmpeg integrated is the cost and time of transferring very large video files across services over the internet. While do-able with Activepieces, allowing some file manipulation on-server would save a great deal of time and cost for these types of flows.
