+# Docker
+The Docker image currently works on Windows and Linux, optionally supporting NVIDIA GPUs.
+
+## General Remarks
+- The resulting Docker image is 21 GB in size. Building might require even more disk space temporarily.
+    - Another 15 GB is required for building DeepSpeed
+- Build time depends on your hardware and internet connection. Expect at least 20-30min to be normal for a full build.
+  - This includes building the conda environment as well as DeepSpeed, which is the basis for the alltalk Docker image.
+- The Docker build for alltalk:
+  - Downloads XTTS as default TTS engine
+  - Enables RVC by default
+  - Downloads all supported RVC models
+  - Enables deepspeed by default
+- Starting the Docker image should only a few seconds due to all the steps that were already executed during build.
+
+## Docker for Linux
+
+### Ubuntu Specific Setup for GPUs
+1. Make sure the latest nvidia drivers are installed: `sudo ubuntu-drivers install`
+1. Install Docker your preferred way. One way to do it is to follow the official documentation [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/#uninstall-old-versions).
+    - Start by uninstalling the old versions
+    - Follow the "apt" repository installation method
+    - Check that everything is working with the "hello-world" container
+1. If, when launching the docker contain, you have an error message saying that the GPU cannot be used, you might have to install [Nvidia Docker Container Toolkit](https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html).
+    - Install with the "apt" method
+    - Run the docker configuration command
+      ```sudo nvidia-ctk runtime configure --runtime=docker```
+    - Restart docker
+
+## Docker for Windows (WSL2)
+### Windows Specific Setup for GPUs
+> Make sure your Nvidia drivers are up to date: https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx
+1. Install WSL2 in PowerShell with `wsl --install` and restart
+2. Open PowerShell, type and enter ```ubuntu```.  It should now load you into wsl2
+3. Remove the original nvidia cache key: `sudo apt-key del 7fa2af80`
+4. Download CUDA toolkit keyring: `wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/wsl-ubuntu/x86_64/cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb`
+5. Install keyring: `sudo dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.1-1_all.deb`
+6. Update package list: `sudo apt-get update`
+7. Install CUDA toolkit: `sudo apt-get -y install cuda-toolkit-12-4`
+8. Install Docker Desktop using WSL2 as the backend
+9. Restart
+10. If you wish to monitor the terminal remotely via SSH, follow [this guide](https://www.hanselman.com/blog/how-to-ssh-into-wsl2-on-windows-10-from-an-external-machine).
+11. Open PowerShell, type ```ubuntu```, [then follow below](#building-and-running-in-docker)
+
+## Building and Running in Docker
+
+1. Open a terminal (or Ubuntu WSL) and go where you cloned the repo
+3. Build the image with `./docker-build.sh`
+4. Start the container with `./docker-start.sh`
+5. Visit `http://localhost:7851/` or remotely with `http://<ip>:7851`
+
+## Arguments for building and starting docker
+There are various arguments to customize the build and start of the docker image.
+
+### Arguments for `docker-build.sh`
+- `--tts_model` allows to choose the TTS model that is used by default. Valid values are `piper`, `vits`, `xtts`. Defaults to `xtts`.
+  - Example: `docker-build.sh --tts_model piper`
+- `--tag` allows to choose the docker tag. Defaults to `latest`.
+  - Example: `docker-build.sh --tag mytag`
+- `--clean` allows remove existing dependency build like conda environment or DeepSpeed.
+    - Example: `docker-build.sh --clean`
+
+### Arguments for `docker-start.sh`
+- `--config` lets you choose a config JSON file which can subset of `confignew.json`. This allows you to change only 
+  few values and leave the rest as defined in the default `confignew.json` file.
+  - Example: `docker-start.sh --config /my/config/file.json` with content `{"branding": "My Brand "}` will just change
+    the branding in `confignew.json`.
+- `--voices` lets you add voices for the TTS engine in WAV format. You have to specify the folder containing all
+  voice files.
+  - Example: `docker-start.sh --voices /my/voices/dir`
+- `--rvc_voices` similar to voices, this option lets you pick the folder containing the RVC models.
+  - Example: `docker-start.sh --rvc_voices /my/rvc/voices/dir`
+- `--no_ui` allows you to not expose port 7852 for the gradio interface. Note that you still have to set `launch_gradio`
+  to `false` via JSON file passed to `--config`.
+- `--tag` allows to choose the docker tag of the image to run. Defaults to `latest`.
+    - Example: `docker-start.sh --tag mytag`
+- Since the above commands only address the most important options, you might pass additional arbitrary docker commands
+    to the `docker-start.sh`.
