# Tortoise-TTS stack on Lucy. Audiobook-quality engine with 25+ # named voices (no cloning). Apache 2.0 top to bottom. # # Slow: ~10x kokoro wall clock at 'standard' preset. Worth it for # the quality bar. Cobb's call 2026-05-14: "use higgs (now tortoise) # and we will only let it use the full gpu for runs" — translated: # runs are batched, slow is acceptable. # # Co-resides with kokoro on the 2070 Super since tortoise is ~5GB # and kokoro is ~1GB (8GB total). If OOM hits during a render, # we'll add a coordination layer to pause kokoro first. name: tortoise services: tortoise: image: lucy-registry:5000/tortoise:0.1 container_name: tortoise restart: unless-stopped deploy: resources: reservations: devices: - driver: nvidia count: all capabilities: [gpu] ports: - "192.168.0.5:7795:7860" - "127.0.0.1:7795:7860" volumes: - /mnt/cache/appdata/tortoise/hf-cache:/cache/hf - /mnt/cache/appdata/tortoise/models:/cache/tortoise-models # Shared audio dir with f5/kokoro so skald serves all engines' # outputs through the same /audio route. - /mnt/cache/appdata/f5-tts/audio:/audio environment: HF_HOME: /cache/hf HF_HUB_DISABLE_TELEMETRY: "1" TORTOISE_MODELS_DIR: /cache/tortoise-models labels: org.sulkta.domain: "sulkta" org.sulkta.owner: "cobb" org.sulkta.managed-by: "compose" org.sulkta.role: "tortoise-tts"
