# Wild Dragon Playout sidecar — CasparCG Server + Node AMCP control shim. # # CasparCG's mixer needs an OpenGL context. On a node with a real GPU we'd pass # the device + driver through; for the headless / no-GPU case we run a virtual # framebuffer (Xvfb) so the GL context initialises. The container is launched # --privileged by mam-api (same as capture) so DeckLink / NDI hardware is # reachable when present. # # NDI + DeckLink SDKs are NOT redistributable. They are fetched at build time # from URLs supplied as build args (mirror them into your own artifact store); # the build still succeeds without them (NDI/DeckLink consumers simply won't be # available — SRT/RTMP/test output still work). # CasparCG 2.5.0 ships Linux builds as Ubuntu .deb packages (noble = 24.04), not # a portable tarball, so the base is ubuntu:24.04 and Node is added on top. The # server deb pulls its own GL/ffmpeg/openal runtime deps via apt; we add Xvfb + # mesa SW-GL drivers for the headless GL context.
