call binary from docker container inside another docker container?

Question

What would be the way to load a certain binary from a certain container in docker from inside another container?

container 1: web container 2: ffmpeg

I would want to call ffmpeg binary living in container 2 from the container 1. Confused on how to process this

Answer 1

No, you can't do it straight forward.

You can do one of the following:

• Make your web container communicate with ffmpeg container using RPC/agent.
• Use queue service, so your ffmpeg container listen to the queue job.
• Run docker inside docker.
