Kohya's GUI

This repository repository is providing a Windows focussed Gradio GUI for kohya's Stable Diffusion trainers found here: https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-scripts. The GUI allow you to set the training parameters and generate and run the required CLI command to train the model.

If you run on Linux and would like to use the GUI there is now a port of it as a docker container. You can find the project here: https://github.com/P2Enjoy/kohya_ss-docker

Required Dependencies

Python 3.10.6+ and Git:

• Install Python 3.10 using https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.9/python-3.10.9-amd64.exe (make sure to tick the box to add Python to the environment path)
• git: https://git-scm.com/download/win
• Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 redistributable: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Installation

Give unrestricted script access to powershell so venv can work:

• Open an administrator powershell window
• Type Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted and answer A
• Close admin powershell window

Open a regular user Powershell terminal and type the following inside:

git clone https://github.com/bmaltais/kohya_ss.git
cd kohya_ss

python -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate

pip install torch==1.12.1+cu116 torchvision==0.13.1+cu116 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu116
pip install --use-pep517 --upgrade -r requirements.txt
pip install -U -I --no-deps https://github.com/C43H66N12O12S2/stable-diffusion-webui/releases/download/f/xformers-0.0.14.dev0-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl

cp .\bitsandbytes_windows\*.dll .\venv\Lib\site-packages\bitsandbytes\
cp .\bitsandbytes_windows\cextension.py .\venv\Lib\site-packages\bitsandbytes\cextension.py
cp .\bitsandbytes_windows\main.py .\venv\Lib\site-packages\bitsandbytes\cuda_setup\main.py

accelerate config

Optional: CUDNN 8.6

This step is optional but can improve the learning speed for NVidia 30X0/40X0 owners... It allows larger training batch size and faster training speed

Due to the filesize I can't host the DLLs needed for CUDNN 8.6 on Github, I strongly advise you download them for a speed boost in sample generation (almost 50% on 4090) you can download them from here: https://b1.thefileditch.ch/mwxKTEtelILoIbMbruuM.zip

To install simply unzip the directory and place the cudnn_windows folder in the root of the kohya_ss repo.

Run the following command to install:

.\venv\Scripts\activate
python .\tools\cudann_1.8_install.py

Upgrade

When a new release comes out you can upgrade your repo with the following command:

cd kohya_ss
git pull
.\venv\Scripts\activate
pip install --use-pep517 --upgrade -r requirements.txt

Once the commands have completed successfully you should be ready to use the new version.

Launching the GUI

To run the GUI you simply use this command:

.\gui.ps1

or you can alsi do:

.\venv\Scripts\activate
python.exe .\kohya_gui.py

Dreambooth

You can find the dreambooth solution spercific Dreambooth README

Finetune

You can find the finetune solution spercific Finetune README

Train Network

You can find the train network solution spercific Train network README

LoRA

Training a LoRA currently use the train_network.py python code. You can create LoRA network by using the all-in-one gui.cmd or by running the dedicated LoRA training GUI with:

.\venv\Scripts\activate
python lora_gui.py

Once you have created the LoRA network you can generate images via auto1111 by installing the extension found here: https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-webui-additional-networks

Troubleshooting

Page file limit

• if get X error relating to page file, increase page file size limit in Windows

No module called tkinter

• Re-install python 3.10.x on your system: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.10.9/python-3.10.9-amd64.exe

FileNotFoundError

This is usually related to an installation issue. Make sure you do not have python modules installed locally that could conflict with the ones installed in the venv:

1. Open a new powershell terminal and make sure no venv is active.
2. Run the following commands

pip freeze > uninstall.txt
pip uninstall -r uninstall.txt

Then redo the installation instruction within the kohya_ss venv.

Change history

• 2023/02/06 (v20.7.0)
  • --bucket_reso_steps and --bucket_no_upscale options are added to training scripts (fine tuning, DreamBooth, LoRA and Textual Inversion) and prepare_buckets_latents.py.
  • --bucket_reso_steps takes the steps for buckets in aspect ratio bucketing. Default is 64, same as before.
    • Any value greater than or equal to 1 can be specified; 64 is highly recommended and a value divisible by 8 is recommended.
    • If less than 64 is specified, padding will occur within U-Net. The result is unknown.
    • If you specify a value that is not divisible by 8, it will be truncated to divisible by 8 inside VAE, because the size of the latent is 1/8 of the image size.
  • If --bucket_no_upscale option is specified, images smaller than the bucket size will be processed without upscaling.
    • Internally, a bucket smaller than the image size is created (for example, if the image is 300x300 and bucket_reso_steps=64, the bucket is 256x256). The image will be trimmed.
    • Implementation of #130.
    • Images with an area larger than the maximum size specified by --resolution are downsampled to the max bucket size.
  • Now the number of data in each batch is limited to the number of actual images (not duplicated). Because a certain bucket may contain smaller number of actual images, so the batch may contain same (duplicated) images.
  • --random_crop now also works with buckets enabled.
    • Instead of always cropping the center of the image, the image is shifted left, right, up, and down to be used as the training data. This is expected to train to the edges of the image.
    • Implementation of discussion #34.
• 2023/02/04 (v20.6.1)
  • Add new LoRA resize GUI
  • --persistent_data_loader_workers option is added to fine_tune.py, train_db.py and train_network.py. This option may significantly reduce the waiting time between epochs. Thanks to hitomi!
  • --debug_dataset option is now working on non-Windows environment. Thanks to tsukimiya!
  • networks/resize_lora.py script is added. This can approximate the higher-rank (dim) LoRA model by a lower-rank LoRA model, e.g. 128 to 4. Thanks to mgz-dev!
    • --help option shows usage.
    • Currently the metadata is not copied. This will be fixed in the near future.
• 2023/02/03 (v20.6.0)
  • Increase max LoRA rank (dim) size to 1024.
  • Update finetune preprocessing scripts.
    • .bmp and .jpeg are supported. Thanks to breakcore2 and p1atdev!
    • The default weights of tag_images_by_wd14_tagger.py is now SmilingWolf/wd-v1-4-convnext-tagger-v2. You can specify another model id from SmilingWolf by --repo_id option. Thanks to SmilingWolf for the great work.
    • To change the weight, remove wd14_tagger_model folder, and run the script again.
    • --max_data_loader_n_workers option is added to each script. This option uses the DataLoader for data loading to speed up loading, 20%~30% faster.
    • Please specify 2 or 4, depends on the number of CPU cores.
    • --recursive option is added to merge_dd_tags_to_metadata.py and merge_captions_to_metadata.py, only works with --full_path.
    • make_captions_by_git.py is added. It uses GIT microsoft/git-large-textcaps for captioning.
    • requirements.txt is updated. If you use this script, please update the libraries.
    • Usage is almost the same as make_captions.py, but batch size should be smaller.
    • --remove_words option removes as much text as possible (such as the word "XXXX" on it).
    • --skip_existing option is added to prepare_buckets_latents.py. Images with existing npz files are ignored by this option.
    • clean_captions_and_tags.py is updated to remove duplicated or conflicting tags, e.g. shirt is removed when white shirt exists. if black hair is with red hair, both are removed.
  • Tag frequency is added to the metadata in train_network.py. Thanks to space-nuko!
    • All tags and number of occurrences of the tag are recorded. If you do not want it, disable metadata storing with --no_metadata option.
• 2023/01/30 (v20.5.2):
  • Add --lr_scheduler_num_cycles and --lr_scheduler_power options for train_network.py for cosine_with_restarts and polynomial learning rate schedulers. Thanks to mgz-dev!
  • Fixed U-Net sample_size parameter to 64 when converting from SD to Diffusers format, in convert_diffusers20_original_sd.py
• 2023/01/27 (v20.5.1):
  • Fix issue: https://github.com/bmaltais/kohya_ss/issues/70
  • Fix issue https://github.com/bmaltais/kohya_ss/issues/71
• 2023/01/26 (v20.5.0):
  • Add new Dreambooth TI tab for training of Textual Inversion embeddings
  • Add Textual Inversion training. Documentation is here (in Japanese.)
• 2023/01/22 (v20.4.1):
  • Add new tool to verify LoRA weights produced by the trainer. Can be found under "Dreambooth LoRA/Tools/Verify LoRA"
• 2023/01/22 (v20.4.0):
  • Add support for network_alpha under the Training tab and support for --training_comment under the Folders tab.
  • Add --network_alpha option to specify alpha value to prevent underflows for stable training. Thanks to CCRcmcpe!
    • Details of the issue are described in https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-webui-additional-networks/issues/49 .
    • The default value is 1, scale 1 / rank (or dimension). Set same value as network_dim for same behavior to old version.
    • LoRA with a large dimension (rank) seems to require a higher learning rate with alpha=1 (e.g. 1e-3 for 128-dim, still investigating).　
  • For generating images in Web UI, the latest version of the extension sd-webui-additional-networks (v0.3.0 or later) is required for the models trained with this release or later.
  • Add logging for the learning rate for U-Net and Text Encoder independently, and for running average epoch loss. Thanks to mgz-dev!
  • Add more metadata such as dataset/reg image dirs, session ID, output name etc... See https://github.com/kohya-ss/sd-scripts/pull/77 for details. Thanks to space-nuko!
    • Now the metadata includes the folder name (the basename of the folder contains image files, not fullpath). If you do not want it, disable metadata storing with --no_metadata option.
  • Add --training_comment option. You can specify an arbitrary string and refer to it by the extension.

It seems that the Stable Diffusion web UI now supports image generation using the LoRA model learned in this repository.

Note: At this time, it appears that models learned with version 0.4.0 are not supported. If you want to use the generation function of the web UI, please continue to use version 0.3.2. Also, it seems that LoRA models for SD2.x are not supported.

• 2023/01/16 (v20.3.0):
  • Fix a part of LoRA modules are not trained when gradient_checkpointing is enabled.
  • Add --save_last_n_epochs_state option. You can specify how many state folders to keep, apart from how many models to keep. Thanks to shirayu!
  • Fix Text Encoder training stops at max_train_steps even if max_train_epochs is set in `train_db.py``.
  • Added script to check LoRA weights. You can check weights by python networks\check_lora_weights.py <model file>. If some modules are not trained, the value is 0.0 like following.
    • lora_te_text_model_encoder_layers_11_* is not trained with clip_skip=2, so 0.0 is okay for these modules.

• example result of check_lora_weights.py, Text Encoder and a part of U-Net are not trained:

• 2023/01/16 (v20.2.1):

  • Merging latest code update from kohya
  • Added --max_train_epochs and --max_data_loader_n_workers option for each training script.
  • If you specify the number of training epochs with --max_train_epochs, the number of steps is calculated from the number of epochs automatically.
  • You can set the number of workers for DataLoader with --max_data_loader_n_workers, default is 8. The lower number may reduce the main memory usage and the time between epochs, but may cause slower dataloading (training).
  • Fix loading some VAE or .safetensors as VAE is failed for --vae option. Thanks to Fannovel16!
  • Add negative prompt scaling for gen_img_diffusers.py You can set another conditioning scale to the negative prompt with --negative_scale option, and --nl option for the prompt. Thanks to laksjdjf!
