Hosted Setup

A Livepeer Gateway can be deployed on a hosted server. For this guide it is assumed that this hosted server is running Linux (Ubuntu).

Livepeer Gateway Access Options

It is necessary to configure Livepeer Gateway appropriately, in order to allow required remote access to the server.

Local publish and consume only (no remote access)

When starting Livepeer Gateway, run the following command:

./livepeer \ 
        -gateway \
        -rtmpAddr 127.0.0.1:1935 \
        -httpAddr 127.0.0.1:9935

Note: this command is technically equivalent to running the same command without -rtmpAddr or -httpAddr flags, as these are the default options. They are explicitly included here for illustrative purposes only.

Livepeer Gateway will only allow content to be published and consumed on the hosted server itself:

	publish	consume
local	yes	yes
remote	no	no

Local publish, Remote consume

When starting Livepeer Gateway, run the following command:

./livepeer \ 
        -gateway \
        -rtmpAddr 127.0.0.1:1935 \
        -httpAddr 0.0.0.0:9935

This will only allow content to be published from the hosted server itself but will allow content to be consumed locally or remotely, by any host with network access to the hosted server.

	publish	consume
local	yes	yes
remote	no	yes

Remote publish and consume (full remote access)

When starting Livepeer Gateway, run the following command:

./livepeer \ 
        -gateway \
        -rtmpAddr 0.0.0.0:1935 \
        -httpAddr 0.0.0.0:9935

This will allow content to be published and / or consumed remotely, by any host with network access to the hosted server.

	publish	consume
local	yes	yes
remote	yes	yes

Note: when publishing or consuming content from a remote host, the server's IP address must be used instead of 127.0.0.1 Note: you may need to open ports 1935 and 9935 in your server's firewall configuration in order to allow internet access.
