Download static ffmpeg

wget https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/releases/ffmpeg-release-amd64-static.tar.xz
tar -xf ffmpeg-release-amd64-static.tar.xz
rm -rf ffmpeg-release-amd64-static.tar.xz
mv ffmpeg-*-amd64-static ffmpeg

Dockerfile

FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs:18

COPY index.js ${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}

# Copy the ffmpeg static files
COPY ffmpeg /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg

# Create symlink so that `ffmpeg` can be run from any location
RUN ln -s /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg
  
CMD [ "index.handler" ]

Testing

1. Edit index.js to show ffmpeg version on executing

const child = require('node:child_process')
const util = require('node:util')

const exec = util.promisify(child.exec)

exports.handler = async event => {
  console.log('Executing `ffmpeg -version` command')

  const { stdout, stderr } = await exec('ffmpeg -version')

  if (stdout) {
    console.log('stdout', stdout)
  }

  if (stderr) {
    console.log('stderr', stderr)
  }

  return {
    statusCode: 200,
    body: JSON.stringify({ message: 'Hello from Lambda!' })
  }
}

2. Build Docker

docker build -t docker-image:node-ffmpeg . 

3. Run Docker container

docker run -p 9000:8080 docker-image:node-ffmpeg 

4. Get the CONTAINER ID

docker container ls 

5. Enter the container and run the command ffmpeg -version

docker exec -it CONTAINER_ID bash

The return should be something like this:
