name: mediaproc description: Process media files (video, audio, images) via a locked-down SSH container with ffmpeg, sox, and imagemagick. Use when the user wants to transcode video, process audio, manipulate images, or work with media files. compatibility: Requires ssh and a running mediaproc instance. MEDIAPROC_HOST and MEDIAPROC_PORT env vars must be set. metadata: author: psyb0t homepage: https://github.com/psyb0t/docker-mediaproc
mediaproc
Locked-down media processing over SSH. Built on lockbox — no shell access, no injection, no bullshit.
For installation and deployment, see references/setup.md.
Security model
mediaproc is not a general-purpose shell, and scripts/mediaproc.sh is not
arbitrary remote code execution even though it forwards a free-form-looking command
string. The instance runs inside a lockbox-
hardened container, and this skill only ever talks to an instance you (or your
operator) already run and trust:
- Key-auth only — SSH accepts public-key auth only (no passwords), connecting as a restricted user. There is no interactive shell and no PTY.
- Server-side enforced allow-list, not documentation —
scripts/mediaproc.shpasses its argument through to the SSH channel as-is, but the remote lockbox dispatcher is what decides what runs, and it only ever executes the fixed set documented below:ffmpeg,ffprobe,sox,soxi,convert,identify,magick, plus lockbox's built-in, scoped file operations. This is an enforced allow-list on the server, not a client-side convention — the wrapper cannot be used to run anything outside that set. Any other command name is refused before execution; the remote never spawns a shell, so there is no shell-injection surface and no way to chain (;,|,&&, backticks, etc.) into a second command. - Work-dir confined — every path resolves under the instance work directory
(
/work); traversal is blocked. The sandbox cannot read or write your host filesystem. - Consumer-only — this skill moves files to/from a running instance and runs the whitelisted media tools on them. It never provisions, escalates, or installs anything on your machine (server setup is a separate, operator-side step — see setup.md).
- You must still trust the configured host —
MEDIAPROC_HOST/MEDIAPROC_PORTpoint at a specific instance. The allow-list constrains what runs, not where; ifMEDIAPROC_HOSTis pointed at an instance you don't control, that operator still sees every file youput/getand every command you send. Only point this skill at a mediaproc instance you or a trusted operator run.
SSH Wrapper
Use scripts/mediaproc.sh for all commands. It handles host, port, and host key acceptance via MEDIAPROC_HOST and MEDIAPROC_PORT env vars.
The <command> argument looks free-form but is not arbitrary execution: the
wrapper does no shell evaluation of it — it passes the whole string as a single
argument over the SSH channel — and it is the remote lockbox dispatcher that
enforces the allow-list from the Security model above, server-side, on every
invocation. There is no local or remote shell in the loop, so there's no
injection/chaining surface (;, |, &&, backticks, etc. are inert; the
dispatcher just refuses anything that isn't the fixed command name it expects).

# Transcode
scripts/mediaproc.sh "ffmpeg -i /work/input.mp4 -c:v libx264 /work/output.mp4"
# Download result
scripts/mediaproc.sh "get output.mp4" > output.mp4
# Clean up
scripts/mediaproc.sh "remove-file input.mp4"
scripts/mediaproc.sh "remove-file output.mp4"
Video Operations
# Get video info as JSON
scripts/mediaproc.sh "ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams /work/video.mp4"
# Apply frei0r glow effect
scripts/mediaproc.sh "ffmpeg -i /work/in.mp4 -vf frei0r=glow:0.5 /work/out.mp4"
# Extract audio from video
scripts/mediaproc.sh "ffmpeg -i /work/video.mp4 -vn -acodec libmp3lame /work/audio.mp3"
# Create thumbnail from video
scripts/mediaproc.sh "ffmpeg -i /work/video.mp4 -ss 00:00:05 -vframes 1 /work/thumb.jpg"
Audio Operations
# Convert audio format
scripts/mediaproc.sh "sox /work/input.wav /work/output.mp3"
# Get audio info
scripts/mediaproc.sh "soxi /work/audio.wav"
# Normalize audio
scripts/mediaproc.sh "sox /work/input.wav /work/output.wav norm"
Image Operations
# Resize image
scripts/mediaproc.sh "convert /work/input.png -resize 50% /work/output.png"
# Create thumbnail
scripts/mediaproc.sh "convert /work/input.jpg -thumbnail 200x200 /work/thumb.jpg"
# Get image info
scripts/mediaproc.sh "identify /work/image.png"
File Operations
All paths relative to the work directory. Traversal blocked.
Destructive. remove-file, remove-dir, and remove-dir-recursive
permanently delete data in the remote work directory — there is no trash/undo.
remove-dir-recursive deletes an entire subtree in one call and is especially
dangerous. Only run these after explicit user confirmation of the exact path.
