Paparspace Notebook for kohya Gui lora training

• This notebook is created with reference to ffxvs’s sd-webui-complete-setup.
• We use specialized dokcer published by ffxvs to simplify the preparation of the environment.
  It includes python, torch, etc., and allows us to prepare an environment without going through complicated steps.

I recommended you to start with setup sd-webui-complete-setup.
If not, you will need to build your own python 3.10, torch, cuda cudnn, etc.

  Kohya GUI

• You need download Kohya-Lora.ipynb from this repository, Run the below command in terminal.
  • Terminal command

       cd /notebooks

• Execute cells in order from top to bottom.
• The current GUI version is v24.1.7 by default.
• As an option, there is a function to create a folder to put the dataset and a config toml for paperspace.
  It is recommended to run it if you are using the GUI for the first time.
• There are minimal features related to datasets, which are currently being developed.
• The download function is included in sd-webui-complete-setup notebooks. There are 1.5 and SDXL versions, please choose according to your purpose.

  Here are some tips on some common problems you may encounter.

• When you copy a path of file or folder, it will be “notebooks/folder/file.txt”, but when you actually use it, the correct path is “/notebooks/folder/file.txt”.
• Don’t just right-click and delete files, use “Delete File or Folder” function.
• When the GUI launches, Dreambooth is selected by default, make sure select Lora tab for lora training.
• Once training is started, you don’t need to keep blower tab opnen, Training process continues even if you shut down your PC.

  Known Issue

• Some of the console logs Info contain file paths and are very difficult to read.
  please add –console_log_simple to additinal paramaters for avoid messy console logs.
• Tenderflow and tenserRT is not installed because of some issues, so logging with them is currently not possible for now.
