# 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. # # CasparCG 2.4.x no longer ships a self-contained Linux tarball — the GitHub # release provides either Ubuntu .deb packages or an "ubuntu22" zip that bundles # the binary + its .so files under bin/ and lib/. We use the zip on an # ubuntu:22.04 base so the bundled libs match the host glibc/abi, then install # Node 20 from NodeSource on top. # # NDI + DeckLink SDKs are NOT redistributable. They are fetched at build time # from a URL supplied as a build arg (mirror it into your own artifact store); # the build still succeeds without it (NDI/DeckLink consumers simply won't be # available — SRT/RTMP/test output still work).
