AI-powered music generation on decentralized GPU compute. Deploy a fully functional music generation service to Akash Network with a modern web UI.
- ACE-Step 1.5 Music AI — State-of-the-art music generation from text descriptions
- Decentralized Deployment — Run on Akash Network's distributed GPU compute
- Custom Web UI — Modern, responsive interface for generating music
- CPU Fallback — Graceful degradation if GPU VRAM is constrained
- Multiple Output Formats — Generate MP3, WAV, or FLAC
- Docker installed locally
- Akash CLI (
akash) configured - Docker Hub account (or similar registry)
- Build & Push Docker Image
docker build -t YOUR_DOCKER_USERNAME/acestep-api:latest -f Dockerfile . --no-cache
docker push YOUR_DOCKER_USERNAME/acestep-api:latest- Update
deploy.yml
Replace YOUR_DOCKER_USERNAME in deploy.yml with your Docker Hub username.
- Deploy to Akash
akash tx deployment create deploy.yml --from <your-key> --node $AKASH_NODE --chain-id $AKASH_CHAIN_ID
# Follow prompts to accept a provider bid- Access the UI
Once deployed, navigate to your provider's endpoint:
http://<provider-ip>:<exposed-port>/
Edit studio-akash-final.html to customize colors, layout, or add features:
# Edit the HTML file
nano studio-akash-final.html
# Rebuild the Docker image
docker build -t YOUR_DOCKER_USERNAME/acestep-api:latest -f Dockerfile . --no-cache
docker push YOUR_DOCKER_USERNAME/acestep-api:latest
# Redeploy using updated `deploy.yml`Modify deploy.yml to target specific GPU types:
gpu:
units: 1
attributes:
vendor:
nvidia: true
model:
a100: true # or rtx4090, l40s, etc.Adjust the bid in deploy.yml to attract higher-end providers:
placement:
akash:
pricing:
acestep-api:
denom: uakt
amount: 50000 # Higher = better GPUs┌─────────────────────────────────────┐

- Start with shorter durations (30-60 seconds) to avoid VRAM issues
- Use descriptive prompts — "upbeat electronic dance music with heavy bass" works better than "good song"
- Monitor logs — Check provider logs for generation status and any VRAM warnings
- Upgrade if needed — If generation times are slow, deploy to a provider with RTX 4090, A100, or H100
This project wraps ACE-Step 1.5 — refer to their repository for licensing details.
