> Transform Your Stable Diffusion Experience with Kohya_SS GUI on Novita AI. 

# Run Kohya_SS GUI on Novita AI

Kohya\_SS GUI offers a user-friendly Gradio interface for Kohya's Stable Diffusion trainers. It has strong Linux support through community installations, with limited but possible macOS compatibility. Combining Novita AI with Kohya\_SS GUI streamlines AI model training workflows, removing hardware limitations and creating an optimized environment for diffusion model fine-tuning.

This guide will show you how to deploy and run Kohya\_SS GUI on Novita AI's platform.

## How to Run Kohya\_ss: GUI on Novita AI

Step 1: Access GPU Instance Control Panel

* Navigate to the `GPU menu` in the top navigation bar.
* Click `Get Started` to enter the GPU Instance control interface.

Step 3: Configure Disk Parameters and Review Configuration Settings

* On the left panel, adjust the disk settings as needed:
  * Set appropriate system disk size;
  * Configure local disk capacity based on your storage needs.
* Check the right panel for configuration options:
  * Verify image settings are correct;
  * Confirm startup commands are properly configured;
  * Ensure ports and environment variables meet your requirements.
* Confirm all settings are correct and then click the `Next` button to advance to the final confirmation page.

Step 6: Monitor Deployment Progress and Track Image Download

* After deployment, the system will automatically redirect you to the instance management page.
* Your new instance will display `Pulling` status while downloading the image.
* After clicking the arrow icon next to your instance name, the instance details panel will be expanded with the image download progress in real-time.
* Once image downloading completes, instance will change status from `Pulling` to `Running`.

Step 7: Check Instance Logs

* Click the `Logs` button on your instance and select `Instance Logs` from the available options.
* Observe the Kohya\_ss service startup process in the logs and wait for confirmation that all services have loaded successfully.

Step 8: Connect to Your Instance

* Close the logs view when ready and click the `Connect` button to view connection options.
* View various connection methods: SSH, TCP, and HTTP of your instance.
* For Kohya\_SS GUI access, focus on the HTTP connection details. Therefore, in the Connection Options section, click `Connect to HTTP Service` and access to a new browser tab or window.
