先决条件
- 命令行熟悉度;
wget或curl; grpcurl 可选，用于测试。 - NVIDIA 驱动程序 如果使用 GPU 转码则需要安装。
- 访问一个 Arbitrum RPC 端点（托管或自托管）。
- go-livepeer 已安装 (二进制或Docker).
Non-NVIDIA GPU support may be added in the future. This guide assumes NVIDIA GPUs for transcoding.
List your GPUs
Before starting the node, confirm your GPUs are visible. With the NVIDIA driver installed, run:Example output (5 GPUs, IDs 0–4):
Run livepeer in orchestrator mode
Start the node with the required flags. Replace placeholders with your values.
Key flags
Key flags
- -ethUrl — Arbitrum RPC URL. See Connect to Arbitrum.
- -ethAcctAddr — (Optional) ETH account address if you already have a keystore.
- -orchestrator / -transcoder — Run as orchestrator with GPU transcoding.
- -nvidia — Comma-separated GPU IDs (e.g.
0,1,2). Omit for CPU-only. - -pricePerUnit — Price in wei per pixel. Required at startup; can be changed later.
- -serviceAddr — Public address for incoming requests (hostname:port preferred over IP).
Fund your account
To activate on Livepeer you need:
- ETH (Arbitrum) — for transaction fees. Start with a small amount; the CLI will warn if balance is low.
- LPT — to stake and join the active set. Check the Explorer for the 100th orchestrator’s stake; you need at least that much to enter the top 100.
Activate your orchestrator
Use livepeer_cli or the Explorer to bond LPT to yourself, set reward cut, fee share, price, and service address. Once transactions confirm, your orchestrator joins the active set in the next round.See Staking LPT and Rewards and fees for economics. Full activation steps are in the Install guide.
