Livepool transcoder releases

Primary LanguageDockerfile

Livepool Video Miner

Installation

  1. Download the latest release for your OS from the releases page

  2. Unpack the archive.

    • .zip : use winzip or winRAR
    • .tar : $ tar -zxvf livepool-$(YOUR_PLATFORM)-amd64.tar.gz

  3. Move the binary to your executable PATH

  4. Find your GPU PCIe IDs using nvidia-smi , this corresponds to your PCIe 16x slots, i.e. if you have one slot with one GPU your ID will be 0.

  5. Start livepool

$ livepool -ethAcctAddr $(YOUR_ETH_ADDRESS) -nvidia $(PCIe IDs comma-separated)
  • $(YOUR_ETH_ADDRESS) - Your ethereum address to receive payouts. If you don't have an ethereum account download an ethereum wallet such as Metamask.
  • $(PCIe IDs comma-separated) - The PCIe IDs for your GPUs.

Example: $ livepool -ethAcctAddr 0xF5ba856B4DBfBf3A56b01eFd0697fc188cE1aFD8 -nvidia 0,1

Containerized Operation (Experimental)

Within this repository, you'll discover a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml file, offering a method to encapsulate the LivePool pool within a Docker container. It's essential to note that this configuration is still in the experimental phase and isn't recommended for production environments. Should you choose to embark on this journey, adhere to the following guidelines:

  1. Docker Deployment: Commence by installing Docker on your Linux machine. For guidance, refer to the official Docker installation documentation.

  2. Nvidia Container Toolkit Integration: Ensure your system is fortified with the Nvidia container toolkit.

  3. Image Construction: Execute the subsequent command to construct the Docker image:

docker build -t livepool-pool .
  1. Container Launch: Initiate the container using the following command. Remember to substitute <ETH_ADDRESS> with your Ethereum address, <NICKNAME> with your designated identifier and <MAX_SESSIONS> with your desired session count:
docker run --runtime nvidia livepool-pool -ethAcctAddr <ETH_ADDRESS> -orchSecret <ORCH_SECRET> -maxSessions <MAX_SESSIONS>

Note

If a discreet background operation suits your preferences, orchestrate it via Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d

During this process, update the docker-compose.yml file with your precise ETH address, orchestrator secret and max sessions count.
