# Container CLI
---
title: Container CLI
description: Configure and manage your Nestri container environment using CLI parameters for relay settings, video resolution, GPU selection, and encoding options.
icon: 'lucide:terminal'
---
The Container CLI for Nestri provides parameters to configure and manage your container environment. Use these options to set values like `relay-url`, `video resolution`, and `frame rate`. Additionally, activate `verbose` mode and logging to assist in debugging and error tracking. This documentation details each parameter to help you optimize your container setup effectively
| **Parameter** | **Type** | **Default** | **Description** |
| ---------------------------- | ---------- | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-v, --verbose` | `string` | false | Shows more logs, for issues we recommend turning it on before running nestri-server and sending the logs for debugging (i.e. `nestri-server --verbose=true > logs.txt`) |
| `-d, --debug-feed` | `string` | false | Adds a timer overlay at bottom-right in the video stream, along with spawning an X11 window on host for doing comparisons against |
| `-u, --relay-url` | `string` | https://relay.fst.so | [MoQ relay](/nestri-relay/what-is-nestri-node) endpoint URL (must begin with `https://` as MoQ __can't work with unsafe connections__) |
| `-p, --relay-path` | `string` | default generated on start if not set | namespace/path for the stream, identifies the stream (basically stream name), must be unique |
| **Video** | | | |
| `-r, --resolution ` | `string` | 1280x720 | Sets nestri virtual display + stream resolution using `WIDTHxHEIGHT` format |
| `-f, --framerate` | `integer` | 60 | Framerate for nestri virtual display + stream |
| `-g, --gpu-vendor` | `string` | | allows selecting specific GPU by vendor name (`nvidia`, `amd` or `intel`) |
| `-i, --gpu-index` | `string` | | allows selecting a GPU by it's general name, doesn't have to be full name as it's matched partially (i.e. `3060` would get you `RTX 3060` GPU, but it would also let `RTX 3060 Ti` pass) |
| `-a, --gpu-card-path` | `string` | | allows specifying GPU by `/dev/dri/cardX` or `/dev/dri/renderX` path, this won't work with the other 3 gpu parameters as it's explicitly setting the GPU |
| **Encoder** | | | |
| `-c, --encoder-vcodec` | `string` | h264 | Sets the stream video codec (`h264` or `av1`) |
| `-t, --encoder-type` | `string` | hardware | Sets whether to use GPU encoder (`hardware`), or CPU encoder (`software`, only should be used with debugging or if GPU has no encoding capabilities) |
| `-e, --encoder-name` | `string` | | forces a specific encoder by GStreamer element name (i.e. `vah264enc`) |
| `-q, --encoder-cqp` | `string` | 25 | sets the stream quality level, lower means higher quality and much more bitrate used |
| **Parameter** | **Type** | **Default** | **Description** |
|--------------------------|----------|-------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `-v, --verbose` | `string` | false | Enable verbose output. Set to `true` for detailed logs. |
| `-d, --debug` | `string` | false | Enable additional debugging features. Set to `true` for extra debug information. |
| `-u, --relay-url` | `string` | | Nestri relay URL. Specify the URL for the Nestri relay server. |
| `-r, --resolution` | `string` | 1280x720 | Display/stream resolution in 'WxH' format. Default is 1280x720. |
| `-f, --framerate` | `string` | 60 | Display/stream framerate. Default is 60 FPS. |
| `--room` | `string` | | Nestri room name/identifier. Specify the room for your Nestri session. |
| `-g, --gpu-vendor` | `string` | | GPU vendor to use (e.g., NVIDIA, AMD, Intel). |
| `-n, --gpu-name` | `string` | | GPU name to use. Specify the exact GPU model. |
| `-i, --gpu-index` | `string` | -1 | GPU index to use. Default is -1 (auto-select). |
| `--gpu-card-path` | `string` | | Force a specific GPU by `/dev/dri/` card or render path. |
| `-c, --video-codec` | `string` | h264 | Preferred video codec. Options: h264, h265, av1. Default is h264. |
| `--video-encoder` | `string` | | Override video encoder (e.g., `nvenc`, `libx264`). |
| `--video-rate-control` | `string` | cbr | Rate control method. Options: cqp, vbr, cbr. Default is cbr. |
| `--video-cqp` | `string` | 26 | Constant Quantization Parameter (CQP) quality. Default is 26. |
| `--video-bitrate` | `string` | 6000 | Target bitrate in kbps. Default is 6000 kbps. |
| `--video-bitrate-max` | `string` | 8000 | Maximum bitrate in kbps. Default is 8000 kbps. |
| `--video-encoder-type` | `string` | hardware | Encoder type. Options: software, hardware. Default is hardware. |
| `--audio-capture-method` | `string` | pulseaudio | Audio capture method. Options: pulseaudio, pipewire, alsa. Default is pulseaudio. |
| `--audio-codec` | `string` | opus | Preferred audio codec. Default is opus. |
| `--audio-encoder` | `string` | | Override audio encoder (e.g., `opusenc`). |
| `--audio-rate-control` | `string` | cbr | Audio rate control method. Options: cqp, vbr, cbr. Default is cbr. |
| `--audio-bitrate` | `string` | 128 | Target audio bitrate in kbps. Default is 128 kbps. |
| `--audio-bitrate-max` | `string` | 192 | Maximum audio bitrate in kbps. Default is 192 kbps. |
| `--dma-buf` | `string` | false | Use DMA-BUF for pipeline. Set to `true` to enable DMA-BUF support. |
| `-h, --help` | | | Print help information for the CLI parameters. |
