Studio & Export tabs are disabled when using docker to host unsloth

[zaidworks515]

I have tried to host the unsloth using the docker reference provided, but Studio & Export tabs are disabled.

I've tried the colab notebook as well, but in the notebook they are working..

I'm exploring unsloth for the first time and would really appreciate some assistance here.

best regards,

Hey @zaidworks515 ,

Root cause: You're using the old Docker reference which runs Jupyter-based Unsloth, NOT Unsloth Studio. The Jupyter container and Studio are different deployments.

The correct Docker command for Unsloth Studio:
The official Docker image now works for Studio. Pull and run with: (Unsloth AI)
docker pull unsloth/unsloth

docker run -d -e JUPYTER_PASSWORD="mypassword"
-p 8888:8888 -p 8000:8000 -p 2222:22
-v $(pwd)/work:/workspace/work
--gpus all
unsloth/unsloth

Then access Studio at http://localhost:8000, NOT localhost:8888.

Why Studio tabs are disabled in Chat-only mode:

Unsloth Studio supports CPU devices for Chat for GGUF models and Data Recipes only. Training (Studio tab) and Export require a GPU. (Unsloth AI)
So if you're running without --gpus all or without NVIDIA Container Toolkit installed, the Studio and Export tabs stay grayed out.
Ensure:
NVIDIA Container Toolkit is installed on your Linux host
nvidia-smi works on the host
You pass --gpus all to docker run
