.\setup.bat
During the accelerate config step, use the default values as proposed during the configuration unless you know your hardware demands otherwise. The amount of VRAM on your GPU does not impact the values used.
The following steps are optional but will improve the learning speed for owners of NVIDIA 30X0/40X0 GPUs. These steps enable larger training batch sizes and faster training speeds.
- Run
.\setup.bat
and select2. (Optional) Install cudnn files (if you want to use the latest supported cudnn version)
.
To install the necessary dependencies on a Linux system, ensure that you fulfill the following requirements:
-
Ensure that
venv
support is pre-installed. You can install it on Ubuntu 22.04 using the command:apt install python3.10-venv
-
Install the CUDA 11.8 Toolkit by following the instructions provided in this link.
-
Make sure you have Python version 3.10.9 or higher (but lower than 3.11.0) installed on your system.
To set up the project on Linux or macOS, perform the following steps:
-
Open a terminal and navigate to the desired installation directory.

If you encounter permission issues, make the
setup.sh
script executable by running the following command:chmod +x ./setup.sh
-
Run the setup script by executing the following command:
./setup.sh
Note: If you need additional options or information about the runpod environment, you can use
setup.sh -h
orsetup.sh --help
to display the help message.
The default installation location on Linux is the directory where the script is located. If a previous installation is detected in that location, the setup will proceed there. Otherwise, the installation will fall back to /opt/kohya_ss
. If /opt
is not writable, the fallback location will be $HOME/kohya_ss
. Finally, if none of the previous options are viable, the installation will be performed in the current directory.
For macOS and other non-Linux systems, the installation process will attempt to detect the previous installation directory based on where the script is run. If a previous installation is not found, the default location will be $HOME/kohya_ss
. You can override this behavior by specifying a custom installation directory using the -d
or --dir
option when running the setup script.
If you choose to use the interactive mode, the default values for the accelerate configuration screen will be "This machine," "None," and "No" for the remaining questions. These default answers are the same as the Windows installation.
To install the necessary components for Runpod and run kohya_ss, follow these steps:
-
Select the Runpod pytorch 2.0.1 template. This is important. Other templates may not work.
-
SSH into the Runpod.

-
Open your OS shell (Command Prompt or Terminal) and run the following commands:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/bmaltais/kohya_ss.git cd kohya_ss docker compose up -d --build
Note: The initial run may take up to 20 minutes to complete.
Please be aware of the following limitations when using Docker:
- All training data must be placed in the
dataset
subdirectory, as the Docker container cannot access files from other directories. - The file picker feature is not functional. You need to manually set the folder path and config file path.
- Dialogs may not work as expected, and it is recommended to use unique file names to avoid conflicts.
- This Dockerfile has been designed to be easily disposable. You can discard the container at any time and docker build it with a new version of the code. To update the system, run update scripts outside of Docker and rebuild using
docker compose down && docker compose up -d --build
.
If you are running Linux, an alternative Docker container port with fewer limitations is available here.
- All training data must be placed in the
You may want to use the following Dockerfile repositories to build the images:
- Standalone Kohya_ss template: https://github.com/ashleykleynhans/kohya-docker
- Auto1111 + Kohya_ss GUI template: https://github.com/ashleykleynhans/stable-diffusion-docker
To upgrade your installation to a new version, follow the instructions below.
If a new release becomes available, you can upgrade your repository by running the following commands from the root directory of the project:
-
Pull the latest changes from the repository:
git pull
-
Run the setup script:
.\setup.bat
To upgrade your installation on Linux or macOS, follow these steps:

To launch the GUI service, you can use the provided scripts or run the kohya_gui.py
script directly. Use the command line arguments listed below to configure the underlying service.
--listen: Specify the IP address to listen on for connections to Gradio.
--username: Set a username for authentication.
--password: Set a password for authentication.
--server_port: Define the port to run the server listener on.
--inbrowser: Open the Gradio UI in a web browser.
--share: Share the Gradio UI.
--language: Set custom language
On Windows, you can use either the gui.ps1
or gui.bat
script located in the root directory. Choose the script that suits your preference and run it in a terminal, providing the desired command line arguments. Here's an example:
gui.ps1 --listen 127.0.0.1 --server_port 7860 --inbrowser --share
or
gui.bat --listen 127.0.0.1 --server_port 7860 --inbrowser --share
To launch the GUI on Linux or macOS, run the gui.sh
script located in the root directory. Provide the desired command line arguments as follows:
gui.sh --listen 127.0.0.1 --server_port 7860 --inbrowser --share
The repository now provides a default configuration file named config.toml
. This file is a template that you can customize to suit your needs.
To use the default configuration file, follow these steps:
- Copy the
config example.toml
file from the root directory of the repository toconfig.toml
. - Open the
config.toml
file in a text editor. - Modify the paths and settings as per your requirements.
This approach allows you to easily adjust the configuration to suit your specific needs to open the desired default folders for each type of folder/file input supported in the GUI.
You can specify the path to your config.toml (or any other name you like) when running the GUI. For instance: ./gui.bat --config c:\my_config.toml
To train a LoRA, you can currently use the train_network.py
code. You can create a LoRA network by using the all-in-one GUI.
Once you have created the LoRA network, you can generate images using auto1111 by installing this extension.
A prompt file might look like this, for example:
# prompt 1
masterpiece, best quality, (1girl), in white shirts, upper body, looking at viewer, simple background --n low quality, worst quality, bad anatomy, bad composition, poor, low effort --w 768 --h 768 --d 1 --l 7.5 --s 28
# prompt 2
masterpiece, best quality, 1boy, in business suit, standing at street, looking back --n (low quality, worst quality), bad anatomy, bad composition, poor, low effort --w 576 --h 832 --d 2 --l 5.5 --s 40
Lines beginning with #
are comments. You can specify options for the generated image with options like --n
after the prompt. The following options can be used:
--n
: Negative prompt up to the next option.--w
: Specifies the width of the generated image.--h
: Specifies the height of the generated image.--d
: Specifies the seed of the generated image.--l
: Specifies the CFG scale of the generated image.--s
: Specifies the number of steps in the generation.
The prompt weighting such as ( )
and [ ]
is working.
If you encounter any issues, refer to the troubleshooting steps below.
If you encounter an X error related to the page file, you may need to increase the page file size limit in Windows.
If you encounter an error indicating that the module tkinter
is not found, try reinstalling Python 3.10 on your system.
When training LORA on a TESLA V100, users reported low GPU utilization. Additionally, there was difficulty in specifying GPUs other than the default for training.
- GPU Selection: Users can specify GPU IDs in the setup configuration to select the desired GPUs for training.
- Improving GPU Load: Utilizing
adamW8bit
optimizer and increasing the batch size can help achieve 70-80% GPU utilization without exceeding GPU memory limits.
The documentation in this section will be moved to a separate document later.
The masked loss is supported in each training script. To enable the masked loss, specify the --masked_loss
option.
The feature is not fully tested, so there may be bugs. If you find any issues, please open an Issue.
ControlNet dataset is used to specify the mask. The mask images should be the RGB images. The pixel value 255 in R channel is treated as the mask (the loss is calculated only for the pixels with the mask), and 0 is treated as the non-mask. The pixel values 0-255 are converted to 0-1 (i.e., the pixel value 128 is treated as the half weight of the loss). See details for the dataset specification in the LLLite documentation.

- Conditional Shell Usage: Added support for optional shell usage when executing external sd-scripts commands, tailored to meet specific platform needs and recent security updates.
The gui.bat
and gui.sh
scripts now include the --do_not_use_shell
argument to prevent shell execution (shell=True
) during external process handling.The GUI will automatically set use_shell
to True internally, as required for proper execution of external commands. To enforce disabling shell execution, use the --do_not_use_shell
argument.
- How to Enable Shell Execution via Config File:
- In the
config.toml
file, setuse_shell
totrue
to enable shell usage as per GUI startup settings. Note: The--do_not_use_shell
option will override theconfig.toml
settings, settinguse_shell
to False even if it is set to True in the config file.

About Scheduled Huber Loss Scheduled Huber Loss has been introduced to each training scripts. This is a method to improve robustness against outliers or anomalies (data corruption) in the training data.
With the traditional MSE (L2) loss function, the impact of outliers could be significant, potentially leading to a degradation in the quality of generated images. On the other hand, while the Huber loss function can suppress the influence of outliers, it tends to compromise the reproduction of fine details in images.
To address this, the proposed method employs a clever application of the Huber loss function. By scheduling the use of Huber loss in the early stages of training (when noise is high) and MSE in the later stages, it strikes a balance between outlier robustness and fine detail reproduction.
Experimental results have confirmed that this method achieves higher accuracy on data containing outliers compared to pure Huber loss or MSE. The increase in computational cost is minimal.
The newly added arguments loss_type, huber_schedule, and huber_c allow for the selection of the loss function type (Huber, smooth L1, MSE), scheduling method (exponential, constant, SNR), and Huber's parameter. This enables optimization based on the characteristics of the dataset.
See PR #1228 for details.
