Deploy HandBrake with one-click installation.
Open-source video transcoder accessible from any browser, with batch conversion and automatic watch-folder processing.
What you can build with HandBrake
HandBrake is the most widely used open-source video transcoder, capable of converting virtually any video format into modern, widely compatible outputs like MP4 and MKV. This deployment runs HandBrake inside a Docker container and streams its full graphical interface to your browser using noVNC — no desktop installation required. You get the complete HandBrake UI with all its encoding presets, subtitle support, chapter markers, and hardware acceleration options, accessible from any device with a modern browser.
The container includes a watch folder feature that automatically converts any video files you drop into the designated input directory, making it straightforward to run unattended batch jobs on your VPS.
Key features of HandBrake
Browser-based GUI
The full HandBrake desktop interface streams directly to your browser via noVNC — access it from anywhere without installing any software locally.
Automatic Watch Folder
Files placed in the watch folder are automatically queued and converted in the background, enabling unattended batch processing without manual interaction.
Broad Format Support
Accepts virtually any video source format and converts to MP4, MKV, or WebM with precise control over codecs, bitrates, resolution, and audio tracks.
Encoding Presets
Dozens of built-in presets target specific devices and quality levels — from streaming-optimized profiles to high-quality archival encodes — reducing setup time.
Subtitle and Chapter Support
Import, burn in, or pass through subtitle tracks and chapter markers during conversion, preserving metadata from the original source file.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
