How to Train AI Models with Kohya_SS Docker on Linux

Jul 18, 2024 | Data Science

Welcome to the world of AI training, where we’ll take you through deploying the Kohya_SS training web UI on Linux using Docker. This blog aims to make the process easy to follow, providing tools and tips to help you along the way!

Prerequisites

Before diving into the setup, ensure you have the following:

  • Linux Operating System
  • Docker installed
  • NVIDIA Docker extensions

1. Download Necessary Resources

Before you compile the image, read the data sections for the wheels and packages. This crucial step will help you avoid compilation failures!

2. Compile Tensorflow and XFormer

This step is optional, but if you want to customize for your architecture, follow these instructions:

Currently, public instructions are not available, so you can either try your hand at figuring it out or wait for future guidance!

3. Configuring NVIDIA Docker Extensions

This step is mandatory to ensure that your environment can utilize NVIDIA functions.

4. Allow Docker Hosts Access to X Server (Recommended)

You may need to allow docker hosts to connect with your X server. Here’s how:

bash
xhost local:docker

Note: This method is somewhat unsecure; proceed with caution! You should consider adding specific hosts instead of allowing all.

5. Running the Docker Container

Once you’ve built the container, run it using the following command:

bash
docker compose --profile kohya up --build

Watch for a message notifying you once the build is complete. You’ll know you’re successful when you see a local URL in your console that you can access for the GUI:

bash
kohya-docker-kohya-1 Running on local URL: http://127.0.0.1:7680

Now you’re ready for training on Linux!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during the setup or execution, here are some common troubleshooting tips:

  • Check your Docker installation: Make sure Docker is correctly installed and running.
  • Verify NVIDIA Docker: Confirm that the NVIDIA Docker extensions are properly configured by running nvidia-smi.
  • Read error messages: Pay close attention to any error messages in the terminal—they often give you clues to what went wrong.
