Manage and deploy

Status: partial.

Use this page to prepare an rtp-agent process for deployment.

The source-backed deployment unit is a Go binary that creates an app.App, configures its worker.AgentServer, and runs the server through interface/cli.RunApp or equivalent process code. Platform-specific recipes are intentionally deferred until they are backed by source, CI, or deployment examples.

Deployment shape

1. Build a Go entrypoint such as cmd/main.go or examples/voice_agents/basic_agent/main.go.
2. Configure LiveKit credentials and provider settings through environment variables.
3. Run the binary in start mode for worker operation.
4. Use drain and shutdown settings from worker.WorkerOptions for graceful termination.
5. Use telemetry environment variables when logs or evaluation data must be exported.

Required configuration

At minimum, a LiveKit worker needs:

• LIVEKIT_URL
• LIVEKIT_API_KEY
• LIVEKIT_API_SECRET

Most real deployments also set model providers such as RTP_AGENT_LLM_PROVIDER, RTP_AGENT_STT_PROVIDER, and RTP_AGENT_TTS_PROVIDER, plus provider-specific API keys.

What is deferred

Kubernetes manifests, LiveKit Cloud deployment flows, systemd units, container images, and cloud-platform recipes should be added only when the repository has tested examples or CI-backed instructions.

Evidence:

• cmd/main.go
• app/app.go
• interface/cli/cli.go
• interface/worker/server.go
