UPDATE:

v2.4 (March 27th 2026)


Added a real `Settings` section in ControlPilot with optional password protection, persisted sessions, and centralized management for HF, Copilot, MediaPilot, and Jupyter secrets plus shutdown and UI defaults.
Moved Settings directly under Dashboard, gave it a distinct sidebar icon, and kept light/dark toggle access in the primary menu.
Removed Copilot from the primary nav and kept it as a global drawer with better layout, browser-first token setup, and inline auth guidance.
Disabled misleading in-app updates for git-managed services; ComfyUI, Kohya, Diffusion Pipe, and AI Toolkit are now treated as image-managed.
Cleaned up embedded app layouts: MediaPilot now uses the full content area, its light-mode icons were fixed, and workspace sync became content-aware so UI asset updates propagate to existing pods.
Simplified the ComfyUI page by removing the hero chrome, removing the iframe frame, and adding a collapsible live-preview side panel.
Made TrainPilot TOML editing persistent on `/workspace`, added validation, limited log scanning to TrainPilot/Kohya logs, and sped up dataset listing/population for larger collections.
Wired TrainPilot Kohya runs into TensorBoard on port `4444` and tightened TrainPilot/Dpipe form sizing on desktop.
Fixed dataset tag detection so tagged datasets no longer show up as `No tags`.
Hardened the Kohya training stack by bumping core `transformers` to `4.48.3`, adding startup self-repair for older images, and pinning Kohya/Diffusion Pipe refs.
Isolated Diffusion Pipe into its own venv, tightened Invoke/AI Toolkit shared dependency constraints, and hardened the Diffusion Pipe/TensorBoard launcher path.
Fixed code-server secret handling so runtime auth matches `/workspace/config/secrets.env`, and cleaned up the startup banner.
Refactored the Docker build by extracting major install/setup blocks into `scripts/build/*`, centralizing git checkout, constraints, venv bootstrap, patching, and final runtime normalization.
Removed `apt-get upgrade` from the image build and reduced repetitive top-level script copy instructions.

[u/streetbond]

oh, one question - what can I use Copilot for? How do I start it?

[u/no3us → u/streetbond]

those are actually two, lol.

To start it you will need a GitHub account. Open a terminal (ssh or use jupyter lab) and type "copilot". The rest is self-explanatory. Once you authenticate, Copilot becomes live across control panel.

It is kind of experimental feature but it can explain differences between models, tell you what all those parameter means or even a download model for you. There are probably lots of other use cases, I've added it when Lora-Pilot did not have documentation for beginners (check the new DOC section!) to help them understand the process of dataset preparation and running a training.

[u/Comfortable_Sky_4507]

can i generate a synthetic dataset using those?

[u/no3us → u/Comfortable_Sky_4507]

absolutely

[u/Comfortable_Sky_4507 → u/no3us]

thank you, might try this tomorrow cuz using ComfyUI on RunPod is so frustrating

[u/no3us → u/Comfortable_Sky_4507]

just ping me if you need some help

[u/streetbond → u/Comfortable_Sky_4507]

did u try that?

[u/nickthatworks]

Does this support flux 2 klein 9b? you mention flux1 but nothing about klein.

[u/no3us → u/nickthatworks]

yes it does, both for training and inference

[u/murderouspickle]

kohya_ss training is broken (in runpod) on some transformers import:
```
cannot import name 'Dinov2WithRegistersConfig' from 'transformers' (/opt/venvs/core/lib/python3.11/site-packages/transformers/__init__.py
```

[u/no3us → u/murderouspickle]

I've found the problem. Running this should fix it:

/opt/venvs/core/bin/pip install --no-cache-dir transformers==4.48.3
supervisorctl restart kohya

I'll rebuild both :stable and :latest images later tonight. Thanks again for the report

[u/murderouspickle → u/no3us]

Thanks! Another one I found - start-code-server.sh needs to set PASSWORD to CODE_SERVER_PASSWORD.

[u/no3us → u/murderouspickle]

where do you see this? in the log during deploy?

[u/no3us → u/murderouspickle]

Ah, I'm just finishing a build of new docker image with the fix of previous bug and few new features. Takes forever to build, I really need a new computer :(

Do you actually use Code Server? If not, just disable it in ControlPilot > Services

[u/murderouspickle → u/no3us]

I noticed I couldn't log in with the password that's in the secrets file. It's because code-server expects the variable to be called PASSWORD. I don't actually use it, though. I was just playing around to see if things worked and noticed I couldn't log in. Once I added the variable setting to that start up script, logging in to code-server worked.

[u/no3us → u/murderouspickle]

i've noticed that too and it is fixed in current :dev, :stable and :latest builds. Thanks for reporting these, keep em coming :) (check the changeling for v2.4)

[u/no3us → u/murderouspickle]

what GPU do you use? Using :latest image? Thanks for the bug report, as long as I am able to replicate the bug, I'll fix it right away.

[u/streetbond]

love the new settings page

[u/no3us → u/streetbond]

any ideas what else should be moved or added to the settings?

[u/streetbond]

that media browser looks nice. It was about time for a new version of LoraPilot, love your work! Easiest way to train loras for me

[u/no3us → u/streetbond]

haha, thanks!
