codeandClaude Fable 5 340866f9f4 complete all stack READMEs to the 9-section template
Existing content preserved and reordered to the canonical section order;
missing sections generated from each stack's compose data (ports, volumes,
env vars, image links). Fixes copy-paste errors in Dockhand sections
(qbittorrent pointed at archivebox; invokeai/thunderbird said SERVICENAME)
and persistant->persistent typos in gatus.

Handbrake

Handbrake requires changing the env file and modification of a configuration file. I've decided these factors are not ideal for a dockhand deployment. However all the information you need are in these notes, they just need to be modifed for proper use.

NOTES

You can specify read and write for example: "handbrake-storage:/storage:ro" "handbrake-output:/output:rw"

Gotchas

problem /etc/cont-init.d/55-handbrake.sh: 47: log: not found docker

chmod the volumes and the env file has to be included

Presets

I think this is the best preset for small file, big quality:
