Prepare to Run a Livepeer Gateway

Hardware, network, and software requirements for running a Livepeer Gateway. Choose off-chain or on-chain deployment and prepare your environment.

Prepare Your Environment

Before installing, confirm your system meets the requirements and choose a deployment mode. This page covers hardware, network, OS compatibility, and on-chain wallet setup.

Gateway nodes do not require NVIDIA GPU drivers. Driver setup is only required on systems running GPU workloads (Orchestrators or AI workers).

Hardware Requirements

Gateways are lightweight routing nodes. Minimum specs are sufficient for development and low-traffic deployments.

Network Requirements

• Low-latency connectivity to Orchestrators
• Ability to handle high request throughput

For on-chain production deployments:

• Public HTTPS endpoint
• Static IP or domain name
• Multi-region deployment or failover (recommended)

OS Compatibility

All Gateways install the software. Root or sudo access is required.
