How to build a nightly

[RBEmerson970]

In the Issues thread "Support more than 1 stream at the same time.", it was suggested to build a nightly. I plead guilty to topic drift into "How to build a nightly". So, I'll raise the topic here, and start with what I've learned so far. I'm using Docker under Win 11.

Start by downloading the Kokoro-FastAPI repo to a separate subdirectory (to avoid damaging a working version). Use GitHub Desktop to access the test repo clone. Across the top of the window, use the branch drop-down to select "nightly" (see below)

Use the CLI of choice (I use Powershell) to cd to the test repo (e.g., c:\Users\Test) . From this point, follow the "build" workflow in Readme.md as quoted below (note the "git clone" line is intentionally removed):

cd Kokoro-FastAPI

cd docker/gpu  # For GPU support
# or cd docker/cpu  # For CPU support
docker compose up --build

# Models will auto-download, but if needed you can manually download:
python docker/scripts/download_model.py --output api/src/models/v1_0

# Or run directly via UV:
./start-gpu.sh  # For GPU support
./start-cpu.sh  # For CPU support

The results will be, in this grab, like the bottom line:

To access this container's version of Kokoro-FastAPI, you'll have to explicitly reference localhost:8880 (see following post for related question). Obviously, attempting to run two instances of Kokoro-FastAPI on the same ports won't work. (Note Docker doesn't allow changing ports on existing containers - AFAIK the only work-around is to duplicate a container with the new, desired ports in the duplicate.)

As described above, there's no port assignment in the nightly version of Kokoro-FastAPI. What's needed to make the assignment during a build?

Also, how do I verify the resulting container is actually the nightly version, and not the release version? FWIW, the current (as of this post) nightly branch' VERSION contains "v0.2.1".

BUMP - still looking for answers to the port assignment and version confirmation questions.

I peeled the version issue off to #212.

The question about adding port assignments when doing a nightly build remains.
