freemkv CLI

One static binary, no runtime, no container. Linux, macOS & Windows (Intel & ARM). Download, chmod +x, run.

Each binary has a matching .sha256 checksum on the release page. Prefer archives or another version? All releases on GitHub →

New here? The install guide covers PATH, drive permissions, and keys.

autorip

A web service for hands-off ripping: insert a disc and it rips automatically to MKV. Runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows as a single binary (below); Docker is Linux. Linux is the most-tested target.

Static binary: download, chmod +x (or run the .exe), start the daemon, then open http://<host>:8080. DVDs work out of the box; Blu-ray and 4K UHD need decryption keys. See the autorip docs for drive permissions and a systemd unit.

Or run via Docker

Prefer a container? The image is on GHCR. --privileged is required for optical SCSI access.

# Then open http://<host>:8080 in your browser
$ docker run --privileged -v /dev:/dev \
      -v ./keys:/root/.config/freemkv \
      -p 8080:8080 \
      ghcr.io/freemkv/autorip:latest
