+# Homarus
+
+## Introduction
+
+[FFmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/) as a microservice.
+
+## Installation
+- Install `ffmpeg`.  On Ubuntu, this can be done with `sudo apt-get install ffmpeg`. 
+- Clone this repository somewhere in your web root (example: `/var/www/html/Crayfish/Homarus`).
+- Copy `/var/www/html/Crayfish/Homarus/cfg/config.default.yml` to `/var/www/html/Crayfish/Homarus/cfg/config.yml`
+- Copy `/var/www/html/Crayfish/Hypercube/syn-settings.xml` to `/var/www/html/Crayfish/Homarus/syn-settings.xml`
+- Install `composer`.  [Install instructions here.][4]
+- `$ cd /path/to/Homarus` and run `$ composer install`
+- Then either
+  - For production, configure your web server appropriately (e.g. add a VirtualHost for Homarus in Apache) OR
+  - For development, run the PHP built-in webserver `$ php -S localhost:8888 -t src` from Homarus root.
+  
+
+### Apache2
+
+To use Homarus with Apache you need to configure your Virtualhost with a few options:
+- Redirect all requests to the Homarus index.php file
+- Make sure Hypercube has access to Authorization headers
+
+Here is an example configuration for Apache 2.4:
+```apache
+Alias "/homarus" "/var/www/html/Crayfish/Homarus/src"
+<Directory "/var/www/html/Crayfish/Homarus/src">
+  FallbackResource /homarus/index.php
+  Require all granted
+  DirectoryIndex index.php
+  SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
+</Directory>
+```
+
+This will put the Homarus at the /homarus endpoint on the webserver.
+
+## Configuration
+
+If your ffmpeg installation is not on your path, then you can configure homarus to use a specific executable by editing `executable` entry in [config.yaml](./cfg/config.example.yaml).
+
+You also will need to set the `fedora base url` entry to point to your Fedora installation.
+
+## Usage
+This will return the an avi file for the test video file in Fedora.  
+```
+curl -H "Authorization: Bearer islandora" -H "Accept: video/x-msvideo" -H "Apix-Ldp-Resource:http://localhost:8080/fcrepo/rest/testvideo" http://localhost:8000/homarus/convert --output output.avi
+```
