Install Docker

If docker is already installed at or above version 20.10.x, you can skip this step.

You can check your version by running

docker --version

Update Docker
Install Docker

If you have an older version of Docker installed - you will need to update the Docker Engine and CLI.Follow the instructions for your OS and Docker type in the Docker Docs to install the latest version of Docker or follow the terminal command guide below:

显示 >_ Update Docker

Linux

Update package lists

sudo apt-get update

Install the latest version of Docker

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

Verify the installation

docker --version

Docker Desktop (Windows & MacOS)

Use the GUI

Open Application and go to Settings > Software Updates menu

Use the CLI

docker desktop update

If docker is not installed, follow the instructions for your OS in the Docker installation guide to install Docker Engine & CLI or follow the (non-canonical) quick guide below:

显示 >_ Install Docker

Linux

Update package lists & install dependencies

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl apt-transport-https lsb-release

Add Docker’s official GPG key

  sudo mkdir -m 0755 -p /etc/apt/keyrings
  sudo curl -fsSL download.docker.com -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
  sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc

Setup the Repo (Replace ubuntu with debian if you are using Debian).

  echo \
  "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] download.docker.com \
  $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

Install Docker Packages

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin

Verify the installation

  docker --version

  sudo docker run hello-world

Windows & MacOS

Download Docker Desktop for Mac or Windows
Follow the instructions in the installer

Pull Livepeer Docker image

Fetch the latest Livepeer Docker image with the following command

docker pull livepeer/go-livepeer:master

Start Docker Volume

Start the Base Docker volume

  docker-compose up -d

On-chain files: ~/.lpData/arbitrum-one-mainnet
Off-chain files: ~/.lpData/offchain
AI files: ~/.ai-gateway-lpData

显示 Volume Structure Differences

Configuration	Directory Structure	Additional Requirements
Video Off-Chain	`/root/.lpData/offchain/`	Basic setup only
AI Off-Chain	`/root/.lpData/offchain/` + models dir	AI models directory
Dual Off-Chain	`/root/.lpData/offchain/` + models dir	Both video and AI files
Video On-Chain	`/root/.lpData/arbitrum-one-mainnet/` + keystore	ETH keystore files
AI On-Chain	`/root/.lpData/arbitrum-one-mainnet/` + keystore + models	ETH + AI files
Dual On-Chain	`/root/.lpData/arbitrum-one-mainnet/` + keystore + models	All components

Volume names can be customised as desired to avoid conflicts between different setups or Gateway instances (e.g., ai-gateway-lpData, dual-gateway-lpData)

Next Step: Configure the Gateway

Jump to the configuration guide to see configuration options for the Gateway

I think the volumes section belongs in configuration not installation

显示 Really only 2 options for install (Docker Hub or Source)

Pull from Docker Hub (recommended) or build from sourceYou can also build locally instead of pulling from Docker Hub:Clone and build git clone https://github.com/livepeer/go-livepeer.git cd go-livepeer make livepeer The Makefile shows the build process Makefile:110-112 and includes all dependencies including FFmpeg and CUDA support. For development, the source build gives you more flexibility to modify and test changes.

显示 Notes on install vs Config

Installation vs Configuration Installation refers to obtaining the software:Pulling the Docker image: docker pull livepeer/go-livepeer:master Or building from source: make livepeer Configuration refers to setting up runtime parameters:Creating docker-compose.yml with command-line flags livepeer.go:112-197 Specifying network settings, transcoding options, AI models, etc. More Accurate Installation Steps Install: Pull Docker image or build from source Configure: Create docker-compose.yml with your specific flags and settings Deploy: Run docker-compose up -d The docker-compose file is where you define all the configuration flags like -gateway, -network, -transcodingOptions, -aiModels, etc. starter.go:80-178 . This makes it fundamentally a configuration step that customizes how the installed software runs.Notes This distinction matters because:You can install the same software multiple ways (Docker, source build, binary) Each installation method requires different configuration approaches The configuration contains your business logic and operational parameters Installation is a one-time setup, configuration evolves with your needs The Livepeer repository provides examples in the box/ directory that demonstrate different configuration patterns box.md:1-119 .

显示 Create ETH Wallet-> goes in config

Create Livepeer Gateway ETH account

In this step we need to start the Gateway in order to create an Ethereum account.

docker compose run -it gateway

When prompted for the ETH password, enter a strong password to secure your Ethereum account. This password is used to decrypt and access the ETH private key.

Make sure to never share or lose access to either the password or the keystore file.

Keep this password handy, we will use it in the following steps.

After you see the message that the Ethereum account has been unlocked, CTRL+C to exit the Livepeer docker instance.Using the previously created ETH password, create the eth-secret file

nano -p /var/lib/docker/volumes/gateway-lpData/_data/eth-secret.txt

Modify Docker compose file to include eth-secret.txt

nano docker-compose.yml

Add the following line below the -ethKeystorePath and save

-ethPassword=/root/.lpData/eth-secret.txt

Here is the full modified version of the docker-compose.yml file

version: '3.9'

services:
  gateway:
    image: livepeer/go-livepeer:<RELEASE_VERSION>
    container_name: "gateway"
    hostname: "gateway"

              -ethKeystorePath=/root/.lpData
              -ethPassword=/root/.lpData/eth-secret.txt
              -network=arbitrum-one-mainnet
              -cliAddr=gateway:5935
              -broadcaster=true
              -monitor=true
              -v=99

              -maxPricePerUnit=300
              -pixelsPerUnit=1
              -rtmpAddr=0.0.0.0:1935
              -httpAddr=0.0.0.0:8935
              '
volumes:
  gateway-lpData:
    external: true

Start Livepeer in the background

docker compose up -d

Launch the livepeer_cli

docker exec -it gateway /bin/bash
livepeer_cli -host gateway -http 5935
