Your key

Start the kit

You need an NVIDIA GPU with 24 GB of memory or more — a GPU server you rent from a cloud provider, or your own PC. Choose a provider whose terms allow how you plan to use it.

1. Install Docker and the NVIDIA container toolkit (most GPU cloud images already have them).
2. Run the command below. It contains your key, so don't share it.
3. Replace YOUR_CIVITAI_KEY with your own CivitAI API key (free, in your CivitAI account settings). The kit uses it to download the extra models for the alpha2 and alpha3 lines directly from CivitAI. Without it, the standard line still works.
4. The first start downloads the models (about 10 minutes). Then open port 8080 in your browser.
5. The login name is kit. The password is printed in the log and saved in /workspace/kit-password.txt.
6. When you are done, stop or delete the GPU server so you are not charged for idle time. Your models and images stay in the volume.
