Key Design Decisions

Why Two Containers?

CUDA and ROCm runtimes cannot coexist in a single container. They have:

• Conflicting driver libraries (libcuda.so vs libamdgpu.so)
• Different kernel modules (nvidia vs amdgpu)
• Incompatible system dependencies

The dual-container approach provides:

• Clean runtime separation
• Independent scaling
• Better resource isolation
• Minimal latency overhead (~1-5ms Docker networking vs ~700ms ZMQ serialization)

Performance Preservation

The Docker setup maintains bare metal performance:

• ZMQ communication already exists (not added by Docker)
• GPU passthrough is direct (no virtualization)
• Network overhead is negligible (localhost bridge)
• Expected performance: 0.95x realtime average (same as bare metal)

Usage

Build and Start

cd soprano_to_rvc

# Option 1: Quick start (recommended for first time)
./start_docker.sh

# Option 2: Manual
./build_docker.sh
docker-compose up -d

Test

# Health check
curl http://localhost:8765/health

# Test synthesis
curl -X POST http://localhost:8765/api/speak \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "Hello, I am Miku!"}' \
  -o test.wav

ffplay test.wav

Monitor

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f

# Check status
docker-compose ps

# GPU usage
watch -n 1 'docker exec miku-soprano-tts nvidia-smi && docker exec miku-rvc-api rocm-smi'

Configuration

Before first run, verify GPU device IDs in docker-compose.yml:

services:
  soprano:
    environment:
      - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1  # <-- Your GTX 1660 device ID
      
  rvc:
    environment:
      - ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0    # <-- Your RX 6800 device ID

Find your GPU IDs:

nvidia-smi -L    # NVIDIA GPUs
rocm-smi         # AMD GPUs

Next Steps

1. Test Containers ✅ READY

./start_docker.sh
curl http://localhost:8765/health

2. Integration with Discord Bot

Add to main docker-compose.yml:

services:
  miku-voice:
    image: miku-rvc:latest
    # ... copy from soprano_to_rvc/docker-compose.yml

Update bot code:

response = requests.post(
    "http://miku-rvc-api:8765/api/speak",
    json={"text": "Hello from Discord!"}
)

3. Test LLM Streaming

python stream_llm_to_voice.py

4. Production Deployment

• Monitor performance under real load
• Tune configuration as needed
• Set up logging and monitoring
• Configure auto-restart policies

Performance Expectations

Based on 65 test jobs on bare metal (Docker overhead minimal):

Metric	Value
Overall Realtime	0.95x average, 1.12x peak
Soprano Isolated	16.48x realtime
Soprano via ZMQ	~7.10x realtime
RVC Processing	166-196ms per 200ms block
Latency	~0.7s for ZMQ transfer

Performance by text length:

• Short (1-2 sentences): 1.00-1.12x realtime ✅
• Medium (3-5 sentences): 0.93-1.07x realtime ✅
• Long (>5 sentences): 1.01-1.12x realtime ✅

Notes:

• First 5 jobs slower due to ROCm kernel compilation
• Warmup period of 60-120s on container start
• Target ≥1.0x for live voice streaming is achievable after warmup
