is this piece of shit worth it?
or should I ignore anything that needs this crap to work?

umm, it's Containerfile chud, and it produces an Oh See Eye image

>>105943136
I just wanted to test kokoro tts, but I'm going to to install some shit to run another shit
much less if I need to create an acc to run some fucking local shit on my own PC
they can suck my nutz

>>105943150
*not going to

>>105943150
You're retarded. Just download the image, extract it, and chroot in if you don't want the special isolation docker provides. It's just a Linux filesystem inside.

>>105943128 (OP)
Yes docker is great. Only retards hate it

>>105943171
I absolutely don't give a flying fuck about the isolation, I just want to run this fucking shit:
https://github.com/hexgrad/kokoro

>>105943150
It's implemented in Python. You'll have to install "some shit" anyway, and Docker will let you run every model ever released in the past and in the future.
Just live in the pod. It's for your own good and you vill be happy.

>>105943181
>/g/ says something is great
alright, this means I should never use it, thanks
>>105943185
why can't I do this with conda or rawdogged like literally every other fucking AI app?
why the fuck do I need docker for?

>>105943183
I just told you how. Why are you still complaining? You made this thread to complain, not to get help running your thing. Find out what's in the rocker container, and just run it that way.

>>105943185
also, you'll live in the pod too next to me fuckface

>>105943200
I made it for both

>>105943201
nah, you can find me in the penthouse

>>105943200
>rocker container
I am typing under the influence

docker desktop is a piece of shit, however just docker to containerize a service is great, especially with docker-compose

>>105943210
If you're really serious, just learn to read the containerfile or dockerfile. It tells you exactly what distro it's supposed to be installed on followed by the steps to install it.

>>105943213
lmao, sure
>>105943225
it seems like a huge overkill just to test a tts, desu

>>105943225
If the image they used isn't your distro, then I'm sorry, you will have to use your own decaying brain to figure out how those steps translate to your distro.

>>105943193
>why can't I
Why haven't you then? If you're so fucking clever and know the best way to install whatever this is, then what are you doing posting here posting this thread?

Docker has a single use case: Modern software is fucked, better to throw away a few scraps of memory and install an extra program to manage your programs than to waste hours if not days dealing with the shitshow that is modern dependency management. If the latter sounds like what you want to spend your evening on, knock yourself out.

>>105943237
Software that needs to be in a container like this generally does so because it would be insane to expect someone to bloat up their whole Linux install with the complex dependencies needed.

>>105943128 (OP)
I have found docker to be very annoying to work with, but also incredibly valuable. There is a long list of things I wish they would improve on, but I also never want to do system administration without it again.

>>105943245
this is the second time ever I've heard this pos mentioned, and I've never used it which means it not crucial for anything, so call your tits, nerd
>>105943247
I get that part but I'm on windows, not linux

>>105943193
>why the fuck do I need docker for?
You don't.

It's such a piece of shit even the people that created it say it's shit. If you want something worth using use BSD jails.

Basically just assume anything that requires docker is shit.

>>105943128 (OP)
ignore everything with docker.
I've personally made some pretty questionable dockerhub images.

besides, it's just a wrapper over what linux already does. you can do the same thing with lxc firewall, and cow filesystem commands.

docker is kind of like needed a bloated-ass for-pay GUI to run the ffmpeg command, when all you have to do is run the ffmpeg command.

>>105943268
>Basically just assume anything that requires docker is shit.
dope, thanks

In the 25 minutes since OP created this thread, he could have installed Docker Desktop on his Windows machine and already nutted thrice to the voice model he's trying to run
Instead, he chose to argue with anons why Docker is le bad

>>105943266
>and I've never used it which means it not crucial for anything
No, it just means you've probably bloated your system to oblivion.
Yo don't sneed docker, it's just useful in some cases. It seems it may be useful in this case.

>>105943291
if the retards that wake cuckokoro don't want people to use it, then I can use any other of the 38 open-source alternatives there are
I just wanted to test it, that's all

>>105943291
This. Absolutely this.

>>105943322
like I said, almost all AI tools work with conda, which seems to fulfill the same principle, just a container
not sure why cuckoko wouldn't use the same process
>>105943327
stop samefagging, nigger
no one cares, lmao

>>105943332
Doesn't it give instructions for Conda in the Readme? Thought I saw so.

>>105943291
This. This so much

>>105943150
this >>105943185

if anything it's worth messing with containers so you don't have to deal with python bullshit

>>105943342
the readme is a joke
fuck these niggers, honestly
https://github.com/hexgrad/kokoro/blob/main/README.md
>>105943345
I can't linux and I haven't had any python nor conda headaches, desu
this is all very smooth and easy to understand

aright, grok says it can be installed with conda
we'll see
AI is way more helpful than you, faggots
AND it can talk and looks like a hot anime girl
I hope you guys are learning plumbing or something

>>105943378
>README shows you exactly how to install w/ conda
>has to use fucking grok of all models to read the README for him
keep the plumbers' names out of your mouth anon, they at least keep shit out of the street, something I'm starting suspect you have difficulties with

>>105943400
you probably think this was a super based comeback, lmao

>>105943405
If I wanted my come back I would have licked it out of your dads butt

>>105943405
Enough to get a (You). good enough for me. Maybe try reading the rest of the README before whining on /g/ next time

>>105943423

>>105943268
Docker is for people that couldn't write portable code and get fucked up by dependencies, so they re-bundle them all together so it can't "see" the other libraries.

It's a crutch.

The smart ones, if they can't write portably, make "no deps" or "self contained" distributions of their software. So you put it in a directory and just use it.

>>105943428
the readme doesn't explain shit, nigger

>>105943441
It does.

>>105943448
maybe for you because you have never seen a vagina in person, but not for a normal windows user

See previous comment regarding streets and shitting therein

>>105943458
Those are not proper instructions.

>>105943479
those are not instructions, nigger
not a single AI app I've installed have instructions like that

If you know the first thing about conda, they absolutely are. If you don't, that's fine, not everyone does nor needs to, but in that case, run it in the docker conatiner playpen until you know what you're doing,

>>105943503
I obviously don't, you subhuman fucking retard
if I did I wouldn't be here
you think you're a genius and you can't even figure this out
you have the emotional intelligence of a hamster

>>105943183
Step 1: Clone the Repository


git clone https://github.com/hexgrad/kokoro.git
cd kokoro

Step 2: Review Dockerfile (Provided)
The project already includes a Dockerfile. You can inspect or customize it as needed. By default, it uses Python and sets up kokoro via requirements.txt.

Step 3: Build the Docker Image


docker build -t kokoro .
If you want to use GPU (NVIDIA), ensure nvidia-docker is installed and base your image on a CUDA-enabled base if needed.

Step 4: Run the Container
Here’s a basic way to run it:


docker run -it --rm -p 5000:5000 kokoro
This maps port 5000 inside the container (used by the Flask server) to your local machine.

If it doesn't start automatically, you can manually run:


python3 kokoro.py
Or if it's using flask directly:


flask run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=5000
Step 5: Access the Web UI
Open your browser and go to:


http://localhost:5000

grokfu helped installed it
you niggers are in serious trouble FYI

You could have had it installed 2 hours ago if you just used docker instead of getting memed on itt

>>105943995
it's already running in conda with a custom gradio interface
you niggers don't it
your autism can't grasp what's happening here

>>105943128 (OP)
I never understood the point of it. I just wanted to test some program but it requires this extremely convoluted install process to work. I gave up.

Yeah I get it's all self contained and closed off but why would I want that

>>105943128 (OP)
yet another reddit retardation

if you're not mentally ill avoid it

>>105943128 (OP)
How do you get filtered by Docker of all things? It's made so that idiots like you can use it with ease.

>>105943128 (OP)
Docker is great. Not a replacement for VMs, but good to know in addition to them.

for me it's systemd-nspawn

>>105943128 (OP)
If something NEEDS docker to work, do NOT use it.

>>105945421
Replacement for what?
For running services I don't see how anything beats containers.

>>105943128 (OP)
nothing NEEDS docker, anon. It just makes local setup so much easier.

>>105943128 (OP)
Podman is better.

>>105943266

>>105944508
it's literally one of the simplest ways to test things. you compose the container, it comes up, you test, and if you don't like it you remove the container and it's gone.

unlike with C lang, learning Docker means you're guaranteed a job

>>105943128 (OP)
Theoretically, you need it to build "scalable" applications that can scale up by spinning up additional instances when your SaaS goes viral (it won't).

>>105943440
>>105943268
this is the most basic problem I have always had with computers and especially linux and as a long time windows user it seemed completely unfathomably unreal to me that linux installs where allowed to break with an update because of random dependencies like this. only switching from dos to NT did anything approach that in windows and then 32 bit to 64 but for linux its literally everything and I dont know why anyone thinks its superior. I want to believe package managers are good but in reality theyre just a way to tard wrangle users from bricking their system because nothing will run if you have multiple versions of some installed program.

you install software that lets you run images on a light-weight VM
WOW

it's basically just a deployment method

>>105947217
You're referencing two morons. They're the usual "if it's popular I hate it" edgy 4chan users.

docker is not that hard, kubernetes on the other hand.........
