### Docker Setup & Inference

1. Build the container image:

```bash
docker build -t alpaca-lora .
```

2. Run the container (you can also use `finetune.py` and all of its parameters as shown above for training):

```bash
docker run --gpus=all --shm-size 64g -p 7860:7860 -v ${HOME}/.cache:/root/.cache --rm alpaca-lora generate.py \
    --load_8bit \
    --base_model 'decapoda-research/llama-7b-hf' \
    --lora_weights 'tloen/alpaca-lora-7b'
```

3. Open `https://localhost:7860` in the browser

---

### Docker Compose Setup & Inference

1. (optional) Change desired model and weights under `environment` in the `docker-compose.yml`

2. Build and run the container

```bash
docker-compose up -d --build
```

3. Open `https://localhost:7860` in the browser

4. See logs:

```bash
docker-compose logs -f
```

5. Clean everything up:

```bash
docker-compose down --volumes --rmi all
```
