Install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit and run: ```bash docker compose up -d --build ``` Key build/runtime knobs: - `TORCH_VERSION` – pin a specific PyTorch release that matches your driver (leave blank for the latest on the configured index). - `TORCH_INDEX_URL` – swap out the PyTorch download index when targeting a different CUDA build. - `ABOGEN_DATA` – host path that stores uploads/outputs (defaults to `./data`). CPU-only deployment: comment out the `deploy.resources.reservations.devices` block (and the optional `runtime: nvidia` line) inside the compose file. Compose will then run without requesting a GPU. If you prefer the classic CLI: ```bash docker build -f abogen/Dockerfile -t abogen-gpu . docker run --rm \ --gpus all \ -p 8808:8808 \ -v ~/abogen-data:/data \ abogen-gpu ``` --- # 🇯🇵 'j' => Japanese: pip install misaki[ja] --- # 🇨🇳 'z' => Mandarin Chinese: pip install misaki[zh] ``` For a complete list of supported languages and voices, refer to Kokoro's [VOICES.md](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M/blob/main/VOICES.md). To listen to sample audio outputs, see [SAMPLES.md](https://huggingface.co/hexgrad/Kokoro-82M/blob/main/SAMPLES.md). > See [How to fix Japanese audio not working?](#japanese-audio-not-working) --- --- ## `License` This project is available under the MIT License - see the [LICENSE](https://github.com/denizsafak/abogen/blob/main/LICENSE) file for details.
