I want to run a livepeer node and for that I have to run a command: livepeer -network mainnet -ethUrl https://eth-mainnet.alchemyapi.io/v2/<project_id> -transcoder

When I run the above command, replacing my project id with the placeholder, it asks me the following: Please enter the passphrase to unlock Ethereum account <eth_account>

I created a free version from Alchemy and have not created any passphrase for my ETH account.

Exactly the same issue arose with Infura.

How to create a passphrase for ETH account or how to bypass this in order to run livepeer?

You don't. Infura or any other node provider does not support hosted accounts. – Mikko Ohtamaa Apr 03 '21 at 17:38
So, how would one connect to Ethereum as mentioned here(https://livepeer.org/docs/installation/connect-to-ethereum) ? – Aviral Srivastava Apr 08 '21 at 17:05
That's a question for Livepeer support – Mikko Ohtamaa Apr 10 '21 at 08:17
