Let’s Go(-Livepeer) !

This page will get you up & running with a Livepeer Gateway Node for Video Transcoding & AI Pipeline service routing. This guide includes:
  • Setup for on-chain (production) and off-chain (local/dev) Livepeer Gateway nodes
  • Installation guides for Docker (recommended) and Pre-Built Binaries.
Docker is the recommended way to install and run a Livepeer Gateway Node.

Linux OS is recommended for production use.

​
End-to-end test loop with an orchestrator

Use this loop after both your gateway and orchestrator are online.
1

Confirm orchestrator endpoint and capabilities

Verify your orchestrator is reachable on :8935 and advertises transcoding support.
2

Configure gateway routing to that orchestrator

In off-chain mode, point the gateway directly with:
-orchAddr=https://your-orchestrator.example.com:8935
3

Ingest a test stream through the gateway

Use the quickstart ingest flow (FFmpeg or OBS), then fetch the generated HLS manifest from the gateway.
4

Validate logs on both nodes

Confirm the gateway logs show route selection and the orchestrator logs show session creation/completion for the same stream.
