AWS Lambda Blender Module

Description

A Docker image that builds Blender 2.93 as a Python module for use in AWS Lambda.

What I am doing here

This Git repository and its Dockerfile allow you to access Blender's feature set directly from the app.py application file used in AWS Lambda.

Usage

Requirements

To re-create this image, make sure you have the following pre-requisites set up:

• git
• docker

Building and testing the image

First, clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/ShaneMcGovern/aws-lambda-blender-module.git

Build the image:

docker build -t aws-lambda-blender-module -f Dockerfile .

Run the container image:

docker run -d -p 9090:8080 aws-lambda-blender-module

Invoke the Lambda function. Using PowerShell in this example:

Invoke-WebRequest -Method POST -Uri "http://localhost:9090/2015-03-31/functions/function/invocations" -Body '{}'

Additional guidance can be found here at Testing Lambda container images locally.
