Ubuntu 22.04

0. youtube video

A video walking you through the setup can be found here:

1. update the drivers

in the the “software updater” update drivers to the last version of the prop driver.

2. reboot

to switch using to new driver

3. install docker

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install curl
sudo mkdir -m 0755 -p /etc/apt/keyrings

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
echo \
  "deb [arch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
  "$(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME")" stable" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null

sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin docker-compose -y
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker

4. docker & container toolkit

curl -fsSL https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg] https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/stable/ubuntu22.04/amd64 /" | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia.list > /dev/null 
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-docker2 nvidia-container-runtime -y
sudo systemctl restart docker

5. clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
cd text-generation-webui

6. prepare models

download and place the models inside the models folder. tested with:

4bit https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/pull/530#issuecomment-1483891617 https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/pull/530#issuecomment-1483941105

8bit: https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/pull/530#issuecomment-1484235789

7. prepare .env file

edit .env values to your needs.

cp .env.example .env
nano .env

8. startup docker container

docker-compose up --build

Manjaro

manjaro/arch is similar to ubuntu just the dependency installation is more convenient

update the drivers

sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

reboot

reboot

docker & container toolkit

yay -S docker docker-compose buildkit gcc nvidia-docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker
sudo systemctl restart docker # required by nvidia-container-runtime

continue with ubuntu task

continue at 5. clone the repo

Windows

coming soon

notes

on older ubuntus you can manually install the docker compose plugin like this:

DOCKER_CONFIG=${DOCKER_CONFIG:-$HOME/.docker}
mkdir -p $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins
curl -SL https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.17.2/docker-compose-linux-x86_64 -o $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
chmod +x $DOCKER_CONFIG/cli-plugins/docker-compose
export PATH="$HOME/.docker/cli-plugins:$PATH"
