The Image monitors the folder /input. All files that are created to this folder are converted in put into to the path /output.

You can run the container with the corresponding UserID of the output and input folder (find yours with the command id):

docker run --user 1000:1000 -v ~/ownInput:/input -v ~/pathToOutput:/output
